Project Feasibility and Design

From Concept to Implementable Strategy

We support clients at the earliest stages of the project cycle, from programming and identification through to detailed formulation. Our participatory approach ensures robust stakeholder engagement, while our feasibility assessments provide the evidence base required for sound decision-making and successful implementation.

Our Approach

  • Technical Feasibility: Conduct rigorous assessments of proposed technologies, evaluate innovative or lower-cost alternatives, and design robust investment models.
  • Social and Poverty Analysis: Maximize social benefits, establish baseline data for impact monitoring, and integrate gender analysis to strengthen equality outcomes.
  • Economic and Financial Analysis: Undertake demand studies, least-cost and alternative options analysis, and comprehensive cost–benefit reviews, including financial rates of return and sensitivity analysis.
  • Sustainability Assessment: Develop operational and maintenance strategies, ensure cost recovery mechanisms, and evaluate the track records of implementing entities.
  • Governance Review: Assess institutional capacity, optimize governance structures, and evaluate procurement and financial management systems.
  • Safeguards and Risk Analysis: Apply environmental and social safeguards, and conduct comprehensive risk identification with effective mitigation strategies.
  • Climate Integration: Embed climate adaptation and mitigation measures, strengthen climate resilience, and align projects with global climate commitments.
