Strategy. Technology. Development. All under one roof.
We partner with development organisations, private enterprises, civil society, and governments to deliver solutions that are evidence-based, context-sensitive, and built for lasting impact.
About Synapse
A new kind of advisory firm, built for a complex world.
Synapse was founded on a simple conviction: the most persistent challenges in development, governance, markets, and technology require connected thinking across systems, sectors, and disciplines.
Our team combines global best practice with deep on-the-ground insight, drawing on expertise across project management, institutional capacity building, policy analysis, digital inclusion, MEL, and organisational effectiveness.
Why We Work This Way
Built around an integrated practice model.
Systems Thinking
We map the full system before recommending intervention, so solutions address causes and not only visible symptoms.
Expert Network
Synapse operates with a core team of senior advisors supported by specialised experts selected for each mandate.
Capability Transfer
We measure success by what changes after we leave, so every engagement includes deliberate knowledge transfer.
