Strategy Consulting

Strategy consulting is the foundation stone of project success. We are committed to working closely with our partners to get a comprehensive understanding of project needs and organizational goals. Our aim is to develop specialized and tailored project support and advisory to ensure successful project design, delivery and evaluation. We have expertise and experience working with international actors in post-conflict and fragile contexts in Africa. This ensures GWC is best positioned to implement program design that is consistent with local cultural context, satisfies project’s long-term objectives, and contributes to areas/sectors being served. Strategy consulting is especially critical to organizations during project design, to develop a holistic understanding of project goals, contextual environment, and to foster program harmony. This minimizes project risk and maximizes potential for successful implementation.

Public Affairs Research

We navigate the inter-action between media, public opinion, government policy, and regulatory environment, to provide in-depth advisory services to organizational and project management. At GWC, we believe that Public Affairs Research is critical to expertly navigating today’s complex global sociopolitical environments; this requires a sensitized approach which incorporates trends in public opinion and active engagement with stakeholders. We work diligently to ensure that research and our proven approach incorporates these elements into a comprehensive and effective program design.

Political Risk Analysis

Our project support and advisory services include political risk assessment and analysis. We use thorough research methodologies and innovative analytical tools to present and assess complex legal and regulatory issues, and provide policy strategies that guide organizational growth and ensure successful project implementation. We help our partners understand and navigate policy and regulatory changes through research-based, forward-looking risk analysis based on contextual realities and guided by project goals to adequately frame political engagement strategies.  

Strategic Communications

We manage strategic communications and advocacy campaigns with diligence and dedication. From design to implementation, we work step-by-step with our partners and stakeholders to develop successful campaigns. We use innovative approaches and tools aimed at maximizing public outreach potential, ensuring that the designed advocacy strategy has a clear message, voice and tone that appeals to intended audiences with cultural sensitization and contextual awareness incorporated into messaging. GWC strategic communications develops strategies that fit the situation – ensuring that each strategy considers the needs of all stakeholders.

Through collaborative efforts, GWC develops a Strategic Communications Plan that respects our partners’ principles and industry best-practices.
