Case Study 1

Compliance Turnaround

The Challenge

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.

Our Solution

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.

The Result

Full donor compliance achieved within 6 months. $2M grant renewed. Reporting errors reduced by 40%.

Case Study 2

Concept to Funded Project

The Challenge

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.

Our Solution

CEA developed the full proposal, engaged stakeholders, mapped the logical framework, and submitted a tailored funding application to targeted international funders with deep pockets.

The Result

$500,000 secured from an international donor. 3-year programme launched, creating 800 jobs in agriculture and ICT.
