Consulting
Kula Consulting delivers MEAL consulting services, programme design and policy development for organisations across Malawi and East Africa. Our approach is rooted in collaboration and centered on inclusion, guided by a deep understanding of context. By working closely with communities and stakeholders, we ensure that every voice is heard and valued — building trust, ownership and higher-quality data that reflects the realities of the people we serve.
We work alongside NGOs, government institutions and development partners, complementing our professional training programmes with hands-on support from experienced consultants.
We offer the following consulting services
Program Design Consulting Services
We help organizations design high‑impact programs grounded in evidence, community insight, and strategic alignment. Our services span needs assessments, strategic planning, and intervention design, ensuring every program has clear outcomes and a strong theory of change. We integrate cross‑cutting themes such as gender equality, inclusion, sustainability, and digital innovation, while supporting resource mobilization and stakeholder engagement. From risk analysis to implementation frameworks, we build programs that are fundable, feasible, and built for long‑term success.
Policy Development Consulting Services
We support governments, NGOs, and institutions to create policies that are responsive, inclusive, and aligned with global standards. Our work includes policy analysis, framework design, and legislative support, ensuring policies are both practical and context‑appropriate. Through stakeholder consultations and institutional strengthening, we help organizations build governance systems that promote accountability, compliance, and sustainable policy implementation.
Advocacy Consulting Services
We design and strengthen advocacy efforts that influence policy, shift public opinion, and mobilize communities. Our services include campaign strategy, coalition building, and capacity development for leaders and organizations. We craft compelling communication and media strategies, support policy engagement, and measure advocacy impact to ensure efforts lead to tangible reforms, increased resources, and meaningful social change.
MEAL Consulting Services
Our methodologies align with internationally recognised standards, including those promoted by PM4NGOs.
Monitoring
We develop monitoring frameworks, digital data systems, and reporting tools that track progress in real time. Our team trains staff, strengthens routine monitoring processes, and ensures organizations can measure performance effectively.
Evaluation
We design and conduct high‑quality evaluations — from baseline to endline — to assess program outcomes and impact. Using participatory and mixed‑method approaches, we generate insights that strengthen accountability and guide future programming.
Learning
We help organizations turn data into action through knowledge management systems, adaptive management processes, and learning products and participatory research. We also facilitate communities of practice that promote peer learning and cross‑sector collaboration.
Training & Curriculum Development Consulting Services
We strengthen organizational capacity through tailored training programs and high‑quality learning materials.
Training Services
We deliver capacity‑building workshops, technical skills training, and soft‑skills development for teams and leaders. Our Training of Trainers (ToT) programs equip master trainers to cascade knowledge across organizations and communities.
Curriculum Development Services
We design evidence‑based curricula informed by learning needs and contextual realities. Our services include instructional design, content development, and integration of cross‑cutting themes such as gender, inclusion, sustainability, and digital literacy. We test, refine, and update curricula to ensure relevance, effectiveness, and impact.
