The Centre of Digital Excellence (C0DE) focuses on technology innovation as well as the opportunities that this provides for improving the development potential of African nations and for managing the risks inherent in an increasingly digital world.

Climate change is the great challenge of our era, and the flow and timing of climate finance is woefully insufficient to address the growing emergency.

The private sector must be involved, and public funding that is already committed must be made more easily accessible to developing and emerging economies. We aim to be the leading global advisory firm unlocking climate finance for a just transition and to build climate adaptation and resilience.

We work with governments and regulators to cut through the complexities of digital markets and ensure that digital policy and regulation are fit for purpose, striking the optimal balance between intervention and innovation. Our work includes all aspects of governance and economic regulation including competition, digital rights, data protection and privacy, consumer protection, e-commerce, economic structure and digital trade.

We help to strengthen and support sustainable, country-owned health systems that can deliver positive, equitable health outcomes. 

We bring deep knowledge and understanding of local contexts and combine this with technical and operational excellence. Our focus is on Africa and other countries with growing young populations across Asia and the Middle East.

Our technical areas of expertise include:

• Infectious diseases and pandemic preparedness

• Reproductive, maternal child health and nutrition

• Health financing and health systems optimisation

• Digital health and data transformation

Our Financial Services team has completed more than 1000 projects across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East since 2001. We work with leading financial institutions to address their challenges, unlock value for their stakeholders and shape the future of the industry.
