Global systems change consultancy and institute helping leaders and organizations tackle complex problems.

About us

Leadership and strategy for systems change: We are a global consultancy and institute helping leaders and organizations tackle some of the world’s most complex problems. From our offices in Kenya, UK and USA, we have a long-standing record of impact on food systems, peace and inclusion, climate and nature. With our clients and partners, we're helping creating a more peaceful, equitable and sustainable world. A decade of transformative impact: From our work on the front lines, we’ve established a unique depth of understanding about what it takes to drive change at scale. For instance, we’ve partnered with the World Economic Forum to unlock inclusive private sector investment across Africa, worked with Yara to incubate the leading youth agripreneurship initiative on the continent, helped the UK’s National Grid devise it’s Net Zero Carbon Strategy, and worked with East African governments to understand and counter the threat of violent extremism. Working with the world’s leading organisations: We work with respected institutions spanning the development, government and private sectors, including USAID, the World Wide Fund for Nature, The Rockefeller Foundation, the NHS and Econet. They choose us for our applied understanding of system change, our relentless drive towards transformative action, our well-established regional understanding and networks and our positive approach to collaboration. A collaborative approach: Wasafiri, means “travellers” in Swahili, and was inspired by the phrase, “Traveller, there is no path: we make the path as we walk together.” This simple statement evokes a sense of how we will work with you; as trusted adviser and collaborator. Our people are change-makers and innovators; thematic experts, facilitators and researchers. They bring deep expertise, local insight, proven experience, and are a pleasure to work with.

    In an article published by ALNAP, our Systems Change Specialist, Scott Hinkle explains that even the most complex systems can be shifted. Individuals and teams beginning to do just a few things differently can ultimately lead to meaningful change. But where can organisations start? ➡ A mindset of small tweaks over time: Change can be incremental rather than monumental. The world typically evolves gradually until circumstances align, prompting bursts of change within systems.  ➡ Work with practical entry points: This operational approach relieves pressure and makes change easier by allowing us to identify key starting points, or ‘windows of opportunity’, where we can begin working differently. Additionally, Scott urges organisations to enable adaptive teams, prioritise learning, identify institutional barriers and believe it can be different ultimately to make progress towards change.

    The African Food Fellowship is deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague, Mr. Michael Oyier. Michael was an integral part of the Fellowship and played a significant role in the Food Systems Leadership Programme (FSLP). He joined the Fellowship in 2021 as a leadership coach and worked with Fellows to help sharpen their food systems leadership. He became an invaluable sounding board as Fellows worked on their food systems actions and tackled career challenges, big and small. Michael’s dedication, expertise, and positive spirit made a lasting impact on the Fellowship and the individuals he worked with. His contributions to the FSLP and his commitment to our mission will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He exemplified good leadership, defining it as “the ability to inspire and influence transformation in people, communities and society.” His talents also shone whenever he addressed a gathering, commanding attention with his authoritative voice infused with warmth and humour. During this difficult time, our thoughts and condolences are with Michael’s family, friends, and all those affected by this loss. We share in the sorrow of his passing and honour the positive influence he had on our team and the communities we serve. https://lnkd.in/d7vpG69A Wasafiri Claudia Piacenza Alex Rees Brenda Mareri Anysie Ishimwe Joost Guijt
