From community-based organisations to government ministries — exploring our past engagements.
Compliance Turnaround
A regional NGO lacked the compliance systems required by their donor. They faced the risk of losing crucial funding unless their operational standards were fundamentally modernised and restructured.
CEA conducted a rigorous gap analysis, developed comprehensive finance, HR, and procurement policies, and delivered targeted staff training to embed the changes sustainably into the organisation's culture.
Full donor compliance achieved within 6 months. $2M grant renewed. Reporting errors reduced by 40%.
Concept to Funded Project
A community-based organisation had a strong idea for a youth employment programme but only a rough concept note. Without a bankable proposal, they could not secure the funding necessary to launch their initiative.
CEA developed the full proposal, engaged stakeholders, mapped the logical framework, and submitted a tailored funding application to targeted international funders with deep pockets.
$500,000 secured from an international donor. 3-year programme launched, creating 800 jobs in agriculture and ICT.
