SAIGE Advisory

Advisory grounded in evidence.

SAIGE Advisory designs and delivers agricultural programmes with development partners — strengthening institutions, building local capacity and supporting market reform. Our current work is based in Ghana.

How we work

We design and deliver alongside partners.

01SCOPE
Diagnose with partners

We begin from the partner’s objective and the market reality, and ground the work in evidence before any design.

02DESIGN
Design the programme

Interventions are designed around the system rather than a single fix, with measurement built in from the start.

03DELIVER
Deliver alongside

We work within delivery rather than above it, building the local capacity that sustains the result.

04SUSTAIN
Leave it stronger

Institutions, skills and data systems that continue after the programme ends.

Areas of work

Six areas of advisory work.

Each area maps to one of SAIGE’s six themes, so the advisory work connects to the research we publish on it.

01
Agribusiness Intelligence

Market and value-chain diagnostics, competitive analysis, and the data systems that make complex markets easier to read.

Clear analysis before commitment.
02
Climate Resilience

Adaptation planning, regenerative practice and resilient food-system design, grounded in local evidence.

Resilience that holds up.
03
Financial Inclusion

Agricultural finance design, credit models and the economics of inclusive smallholder growth.

Finance that reaches the farm.
04
Innovation & Technology

Digital tools, agtech adoption and a realistic view of what works in practice and where.

Technology that is actually used.
05
Policy Research

Independent evidence for policymakers, support for advocacy, and continental coordination.

Policy that is well-founded.
06
Ecosystem & Capacity Building

Skills transfer, institutional strengthening and the networks that sustain change beyond a single programme.

Capacity that lasts.
Who we work with

Primarily development partners, with effects across the sector.

We work mainly with development partners to design and deliver programmes. The results reach governments, private firms, startups and the smallholders at the centre of African agriculture.
