Project Preparation & Structuring
We take government projects from concept to bankability — building the feasibility studies, financial models, and documentation that international financiers require.
Why Project Preparation Matters
International lenders — whether DFIs, bilateral agencies, or commercial banks — evaluate projects against rigorous criteria before committing capital. Projects that lack adequate preparation are rejected or stalled, regardless of their development merit.
Common gaps include incomplete feasibility studies, unrealistic financial projections, missing environmental and social assessments, and poor risk analysis.
We close these gaps. Our project preparation work ensures that when a financing application lands on a lender's desk, it meets the standard they expect.
Our Process
Project Assessment
We begin with a thorough review of the project concept, its policy context, and its alignment with national development priorities. We assess technical feasibility, institutional capacity, and preliminary financial viability to determine whether the project is worth advancing.
Feasibility Study Development
Where required, we develop or commission full feasibility studies covering technical, financial, economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Our feasibility work is designed to meet the appraisal standards of major DFIs and multilateral institutions.
Financial Modelling
We build detailed project finance models covering capital costs, operating projections, debt service schedules, and sensitivity analysis. Our models are structured to the standards expected by IFC, AfDB, BII, and other major lenders.
Financing Strategy & Capital Structure
Based on the financial model and project characteristics, we recommend an optimal capital structure — identifying the right mix of concessional, bilateral, grant, and commercial financing, and mapping each tranche to the most appropriate source.
Documentation & Submission
We prepare the full suite of project documentation required by target lenders, including information memoranda, project briefs, environmental and social frameworks, procurement plans, and institutional capacity assessments.
