Our Experience

Selected Project Highlights

Public Financial Management Reform

Conducted a study on fiscal decentralisation and sub-national government finance in relation to infrastructure and service provision in Zimbabwe, one of a series of related studies in Africa, which provided baseline data for implementing and evaluating decentralisation of local government finance.

Agricultural Extension Reform

Developed an agricultural extension services (AES) strategy to strengthen efficiency and effectiveness of pluralistic extension services in Malawi and recommended AES that could best be provided by the different agricultural extension providers in the public-private-partnership arrangement for the benefit of the smallholder farmers.

Health System Strengthening

Under an indefinite quality contract with Pact Zimbabwe (funded by USAID) we provided extended institutional capacity building support and designed organisation management systems for 15 partner NGO’s providing AIDS/ HIV services in poor rural and urban communities of Zimbabwe.

PSI Consult International Corporate Profile

PSI Consult International Ltd.

Architects of change

For over two decades, PSI Consult (PSIC) has operated at the critical intersection where research, policy, and practice meet. Founded on the principle of delivering locally grounded, analytically rigorous, and results-oriented solutions, PSIC has built a legacy of proven impact in the most complex environments. Our work has taken us across the continent, from high-growth emerging economies to fragile and conflict-affected states, giving us an unrivalled, nuanced understanding of the forces that shape Africa’s development landscape. This history is our foundation.
Today, under the leadership of renowned development experts Dr. Dennys Pasipanodya and Dr. Onward Mandebvu, we are building upon that legacy. We recognize that the tools of development are evolving. The challenges of the next decade demand a new level of agility, foresight, and innovation. That is why we are broadening our team, infusing new talents and pairing our time-tested contextual wisdom with the transformative power of digital technology and data intelligence. We are evolving from advisors into architects of change.

Our Mission

We aim to deliver innovative, practical, and sustainable development solutions that improve lives, strengthen institutions, and drive inclusive economic growth. We partner with governments, NGOs, and the private sector to engineer sustainable, equitable solutions, blending deep contextual expertise with AI-driven data intelligence and digital innovation.

Service Pillars

We focus our expertise on four interconnected pillars, masterminding holistic solutions that drive sustainable and equitable progress across Africa.

  1. Strategic Foresight & Institutional Modernisation

    Guiding leaders to build agile, future-ready institutions.

  2. Digital Transformation & Impact Intelligence

    Leveraging AI and data to maximise development impact.

  3. Climate Resilience & Sustainable Economies

    Designing strategies for green growth and food security.

  4. Human Capital & Organisational Excellence

    Fostering high-performing, people-centric organisations.

Our Approach

Our approach is collaborative and human-centric. We work alongside our partners, transferring knowledge and building the internal capabilities required for sustainable success. We believe that the most powerful solutions are co-created, and the most durable change is owned by the communities it serves.

We combine technical rigour with contextual knowledge, working in close partnership with clients and stakeholders to co-create locally owned and globally informed solutions. We place a strong emphasis on inclusive development, evidence-based decision-making, and sustainability.

We use foresight tools like scenario planning and policy modelling to help leaders craft resilient long-term strategies. We then modernise their institutions, re-engineering processes and building a culture of innovation to ensure today’s policies anticipate tomorrow’s needs.

Leadership

Our leadership team comprises seasoned consultants with over 50 years of combined experience in designing, implementing, and managing development programmes throughout Africa. The directors bring deep expertise in public policy, economic reform, and programme implementation.
