Keep what is still useful and make deliberate decisions about what should end.
Development Advisory
Funding may end. The need does not.
A grant closes while useful services, trained people, data and assets are still needed. A public priority remains a pilot. A prepared project has no clear approval or funding route. An approved project stalls before delivery begins.

The signs are usually familiar
The problem is rarely the absence of another report.
It is the absence of a practical and lawful route from a funded activity or public priority to a service, project or institution that can continue after the original support changes.
01
A programme is approaching its end, but no authorised decision has been made about what should continue, transfer or close.
02
A useful service or asset has demand, but no reliable payer, budget owner or affordable funding mix.
03
A policy priority or pilot has support, but it is not yet a project that an approving authority or funder can review.
04
A prepared project still lacks a clear funding, partner, procurement or approval route.
05
Funding has been approved, but ownership, conditions, controls or procurement are blocking the start of delivery.
06
Too many programmes and projects are competing for limited technical assistance and management attention.
What should become different
The aim is to protect useful value, make the next decision fundable and leave ownership with the institution.
Turn a priority or service into something an authorised body can review and act on.
Name who carries the budget, decisions, delivery and continuing responsibility.
Move beyond temporary activity towards a service, project or capability that can continue.
Who this is for
For institutions responsible for public or mission value that cannot be allowed to disappear.
Public and mission led institutions
Ministries, agencies, public authorities, universities, nonprofits, foundations and regional bodies with a live programme, service, asset or project.
Funders and development partners
Development partners, DFIs and portfolio sponsors deciding what deserves preparation, funding, recovery or implementation support.
Start with the situation
Tell us what must continue, what is blocked and what decision is due.
The private fit check takes about five minutes. It helps us understand the value at risk, the authorised decision, the timing and whether there is a practical route worth developing.
