International Development Advisory Services
Inscap Associates is an East-Africa–based advisory firm helping donors, governments, and implementing organisations spend well, prove impact, and build lasting local capacity — combining big-firm technical rigour with deep local presence.
Inscap offers consulting services to international development funding agencies, private foundations, embassies, international and local NGOs, and public sector entities pursuing concrete solutions towards realising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our passion is working collaboratively with clients to achieve their organizational results by creating an appropriate balance between performance and risk, while reliably demonstrating sustainable impact and value-for-money (VfM) for work undertaken.
Working with international and local development partners in Kenya, South Sudan, and Somalia/Somaliland, we have, since inception, supported development sector clients improve organisational results and strengthen long-term sustainability of development cooperation programmes by:
Four practice areas covering the development cycle where money meets accountability.
End-to-end support where funding meets accountability — from fund design to evidence of impact.
Frameworks and reviews that strengthen institutions and safeguard integrity.
Donor-compliant assurance and stronger financial systems for implementing partners.
Practical capacity building that leaves skills behind, not just reports.
Deep technical experience across the sectors that matter most to development partners in the region.
Headquartered in Nairobi, we deliver work directly across Kenya, South Sudan, and Somalia / Somaliland — fragile and transitional contexts where deep local presence is hardest to find, and matters most.
