Development Services
At Phoenix Strategy Consulting, we give you the security and stability you need to build financial and development structures in a rapidly evolving, fluid environment.
Most of the environments we work in are fragile, post-conflict economies. Instability and an absence of institutional infrastructure are not uncommon in these areas. By implementing our projects, we create a sense of continuity and stability. Dividends contribute to economic growth in the countries where we operate, which in turn contributes to peace in the long term.
We pride ourselves on our years of development expertise and in-depth local knowledge based on experience with the world’s most to least developed economies. Our passion for financial development comes through in the solutions we deliver. These solutions are embedded in the local context, but drawn from lessons learned from proven successes worldwide.
Our contribution does not, however, end with the formulation of a solution. We focus on programme application to embed solutions. Here, we are guided by the need to work with local partners and communities, contributing to the local economy, transforming capabilities and transferring skills, creating sustainability and embedding the work in institutions.
We provide your organisation with analytical reports on development. Our strategic support extends to organisation, operations, development and investment. We place a definitive focus on risk management, growth, and sustainability.
Our development services:
Public Financial Management – Our experience centres on managing complex financial and economic governance reforms in fragile economies like Somalia. We work inside public and private sector institutions as trusted partners to help them transform their capabilities. With them, we develop short-, medium- and long-term strategies to address systemic problems that limit development, growth, poverty reduction and economic competitiveness.
.
Institutional and Policy Reform – We work with our clients to establish or reform their institutions, starting with systems, policies and procedures. We also use the requisite legal and regulatory framework to improve transparency, efficiency and effective administration.
.
Rule of Law – We specialise in improving efficiency and developing the capacity of rule of law sector stakeholders. We coordinate their cooperation. This helps us to deliver an integrated approach to reforming the justice sector, provision, local economic development, and public outreach. We also help improve civic engagement and oversight through effective engagement in the rule of law sector. This is proven to improve accountability and governance, especially in fragile states.
.
Public Administration, Public Outreach and Civil Service Reform – We invest in the capacity of both our public and private sector partners. Transforming their skills helps us to deliver our clients’ objectives. By making a study of development in fragile, post-conflict economies, we are able to reinforce the central role of the civil service in state building. True economic development comes from an administration that is able to deliver essential services and carry out its responsibilities in a manner that is impartial, fair, transparent, and efficient.
