Vision

To be a recognized leader in provision of the highest-level Management Consultancy Services in the Africa Region.

Mission

To add value to technical processes that support socio-economic transformation in Eastern and Southern Africa; to empower our clients through capacity building that sees them produce better results; and to continuously invest in our people to overcome the socio-economic challenges of our time.

WHAT WE DO

We, in partnership with our associates across Africa have distinguished ourselves in provision of services in the following ten (10) areas that constitute our core business;

Monitoring and Evaluation

Without data no measurement of performance is possible. The model is based on the Results Based Monitoring and Evaluation system for assessing performance of development interventions or partnerships or reforms relative to what was planned in terms of the achievement of outputs and outcomes.

Poverty Reduction

‘Poverty is not a mere the lack of basic needs of life but sometimes a wrong perception that limitations and hindrances to success are insurmountable’ (Rukundo, 2004). ADA believes that changes in attitudes and perceptions towards life are as vital to poverty reduction as development assistance.

Specialized Research Services

We use the latest Management Information Systems consisting of people, procedure/ processes & a database that gathers qualitative & quantitative data on pre-determined indicators to measure progress made & impact realized. Never before has Africa required researchbased solutions for its challenges than in this century.

Information Management Services

ICT is the most effective option for Africa to reach the rest of the world and for many countries on the continent to overcome the barriers of landlockedness. We provide you with something that will work.

Financial Institutional Management Services

Financial management has been ignored by many companies and institutions yet they viciously test their governance regime and eventual financial success.

Environmental Impact Assessments

Environmental Impact Assessments are a requirement for large scale construction that dictate interface with natural resources and their displacement. ADA is your solid partner in conducting these assessments

Gender And Development

We have broad experience in developing, implementing and evaluating development programs using contemporary gender analytical tools to ensure that planning and implementations of programs is engendered for better and equitable development outcomes.

Trade and Development Services

While most of Africa mains reliant on development assistance for funding, there is a notion that it is now time to use the ‘aid to trade’. With unique potentialities for commercialized agriculture, exploitation of natural resources and growth in the services sector, Africa is rising!

Institutional Development

Change is avalanching down and hence the importance of change management. While your institutional growth path may be uncertain – your desire to succeed is capacity building. Our consultants help you achieve clarity in job descriptions, job roles/ responsibilities & performance expectations

Capacity Building

ADA looks at capacity building as a continuous development endeavour that gradually focuses on understanding and tackling the obstacles that inhibit people, institutions and governments from realizing their development goals.
