Selected engagements
Case studies, anonymised, because trust is the deliverable.
Clients and countries are named only when explicit permission has been granted; otherwise, engagements are described by role, region, and scale. The intent is not to obscure the work; it is to keep the practice genuinely useful to the ministries and agencies who read it. The how is where the detail lies.

A note on anonymisation

Country programmes and paying clients are anonymised unless explicit permission has been granted.
