Development workflow

A disciplined path from opportunity to execution readiness

Each stage produces a defined output and moves the opportunity closer to bankability, procurement readiness and delivery. The workflow is the operational discipline behind every mandate.

Opportunity Intake

Capture the project, sponsor, country, sector, value and current stage. Establish whether there is a real opportunity worth developing.

Output: Intake note

Development Diagnostic & Readiness

A short diagnostic of sponsor commitment, project logic, government support, documentation status and the development pathway ahead — a low-commitment starting point.

Output: Development diagnostic

Mandate Formation

Agree scope of engagement, deliverables, fees and responsibilities in a written mandate, with conflict-of-interest and compliance checks.

Output: Written development mandate

Development Scoping

Define the full development plan: scope, delivery model, financing route, procurement path, documentation gaps and execution timeline.

Output: Project development plan

Partner Mapping & Consortium

Map and approach the engineers, contractors, operators, advisers and local partners needed, and organize them into a delivery consortium.

Output: Partner roadmap & consortium structure

Funding Route & Bankability

Align the project with DFIs, donors, banks and climate funds. Build the financial logic, risk matrix and funder-facing narrative.

Output: Bankability package

Procurement & Documentation

Prepare tender / RFQ / RFP materials, evaluation structure, transparency safeguards and the full documentation set for submission.

Output: Procurement-ready pack

Execution & PMO

Support implementation with milestone tracking, reporting, risk monitoring, partner coordination and delivery oversight.

Output: Implementation framework

Operational pipeline

Every opportunity has a stage, an owner and a next action

Internally, each project moves through a structured pipeline with a mandate status, documents received, partner status and risk rating.
