Our services
Choose the support that fits the work your institution needs to do. Credence Africa connects advisory, professional learning, events, research and intelligence for organizations operating in Kenya and African markets. Each service has a clear purpose and each commissioned mandate should have a defined scope, delivery plan and commercial agreement.
An executive team preparing for financing will need different support from an NGO commissioning beneficiary training or a brand planning a product launch. Use the services below to find the right starting point. If the objective involves several areas, share the brief so we can discuss a coordinated scope.
Start with the outcome you need
For capital preparation, public affairs or market expansion, explore our advisory services. For individual development or organizational capability, start with Credence Institute. For a client conference, launch, meeting or audience experience, use Credence Engage. For evidence, recurring intelligence or editorial and podcast production, explore Research and Market Intelligence and Credible Perspectives.
Published programs, events and content have their own participation routes. Private commissions begin with an institutional brief. This distinction helps your team choose the correct offer and understand what it is purchasing.
Capital Raising and Investment Structuring
Prepare a funding proposition around the institution or project you are building. This service addresses capital requirements, funding options, investment readiness, financial preparation and the organization of materials for funder engagement.
The brief may concern enterprise growth, a project, a cooperative, development funding or a blended financing approach. We identify the funding objective, information available, assumptions to test and outputs needed for the next stage. An engagement can include preparation and structuring work without guaranteeing an investment decision by a third party.
Public Affairs and Policy Advisory
Understand the policy and stakeholder environment around your institutional objective. This service connects policy analysis, stakeholder mapping, engagement planning and public affairs support with an agreed commercial or public-interest mandate.
Corporations, associations, investors and development organizations may need to assess a policy change, prepare a consultation contribution or organize engagement around implementation. The work should identify the question, relevant institutions, evidence and practical outputs. Any specialized professional work must be specified within the assignment and allocated to the appropriate provider.
Trade and Growth Advisory
Plan market entry, cross-border expansion and commercial growth around evidence and operational requirements. This service supports market selection, route-to-market planning, partnership assessment, trade arrangements and the preparation needed to pursue opportunities in African and wider markets.
For a manufacturer assessing distributors, a foreign investor considering Kenya or an enterprise entering a neighboring market, the starting point is the proposed product, customer, geography and growth objective. The proposal sets out the markets examined, outputs delivered and client decisions needed during the work.
Credence Institute
Develop the capability required to lead, manage and deliver institutional work. Credence Institute provides professional learning, executive education and commissioned training for individuals, employers and institutional partners.
Explore public programs for a professional development goal. Request corporate training for a team or department. Discuss a funded cohort where a donor, NGO, association or public institution needs a defined group to build practical capability. Review each program's learning outcomes, schedule, assessment and credential and request a proposal for commissioned delivery.
Credence Engage
Commission events around the purpose, audience and experience your organization needs. Credence Engage supports corporate conferences, meetings, exhibitions, product launches, entertainment formats and institutional convenings, with planning and delivery defined in the agreed brief.
Client event services may cover design, production, supplier coordination, registration and on-site operations. The separate event platform lets participants explore Credence-owned events and their current registration, sponsorship and exhibition opportunities. A management commission and an event ticket are different purchases, each with its own terms.
Research and Market Intelligence
Commission evidence and a market view for a decision that needs more than a general article. Research can address sector structure, demand, market sizing, policy developments, institutional capability and ecosystem relationships. Recurring intelligence can support a team that needs to monitor a defined market or issue over time.
The brief should state the decision, geography, question, evidence requirements and intended use. The proposal defines the method, deliverables, reporting format, limitations, confidentiality and ownership. This route serves institutional buyers commissioning private work.
Credible Perspectives
Explore published analysis, interviews and editorial content on policy, capital and markets. Credible Perspectives is the public platform for readers seeking context, informed discussion and useful perspectives on developments affecting African institutions.
Organizations can also enquire about a branded podcast or interview series: editorial planning, research, guest coordination, recording, editing and agreed distribution. A ten-episode commission, for example, should define the audience, subjects, episode format, approvals, publication rights and outputs before production begins. Editorial independence and commissioned commercial content should be clearly distinguished.
From service selection to a defined mandate
Frequently asked questions
Can we combine services in one commission
Yes, where they contribute to the same objective. The proposal should identify the separate outputs, responsibilities and costs so your institution can approve the complete scope.
Which service should a foreign investor select
The choice depends on the decision. Market entry may suit Trade and Growth Advisory; a private sector study may suit Research and Market Intelligence; a stakeholder event may suit Engage.
Can a nonprofit buy the same services as a corporation
Yes. The scope should reflect the nonprofit's objectives, beneficiaries, funding conditions and reporting requirements, rather than assume a corporate format.
Can we request a corporate training proposal
Use the Institute's corporate training route. Describe the team, capability gap, delivery location, preferred schedule and reporting your organization needs.
Do you manage events for third parties
Yes. Credence Engage accepts client-owned event briefs as well as offering its own events for participation and partnership.
Is public content the same as commissioned research
No. Public analysis serves readers generally. A commissioned study is built around a specific buyer's question, scope and contract.
Can we commission a podcast series for our organization
Yes. Share the audience, purpose, topic, preferred format and episode requirement. The production proposal should state the editorial and technical outputs included.
Can you provide a price before the scope is agreed
Published programs and events can show applicable fees. For a private commission, pricing depends on the agreed work, delivery requirements and specialist inputs.
