Closing the Implementation Gap
Sustainability ambitions often move faster than the systems, resources and delivery capacity needed to realise them. SLI helps organisations translate policy commitments, regulatory expectations and institutional priorities into actionable strategies, effective governance, viable projects and measurable results.
Each engagement is shaped around the organisation’s mandate, sector and stage of transition. Where additional delivery capacity is required, we offer flexible project implementation support, including assistance with project implementation unit (PIU) setup and operations.
What We Support
Services may be commissioned individually or combined into an integrated advisory and implementation pathway.
Needs, Readiness
& Baseline Assessments
Establish the starting point, identify gaps, risks and priorities, and create a robust evidence base for action.
Strategies, Roadmaps & Action Plans
Translate commitments into prioritised measures, responsibilities, timelines, resource requirements and measurable indicators.
Governance, ESG
& Organisational Systems
Integrate sustainability into governance, policies, operational processes, data controls, decision-making and accountability.
Project Development
& Funding Readiness
Develop project concepts, assess financial and economic viability through investment appraisal and cost-benefit analysis, and prepare investment cases, partnership models and funding applications.
Implementation, Monitoring & Reporting
Support coordinated delivery, performance and risk tracking, documentation, monitoring and credible reporting.
Institutional Capacity & Change
Strengthen roles, skills and internal ownership through executive briefings, targeted workshops, practical tools and knowledge transfer.
How We Work
Engagements can begin at any stage and are scaled to the organisation’s needs.
Understand
Clarify priorities, intended outcomes, existing capacity and delivery constraints.
Co-Design
Agree the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, timeline and practical pathway forward.
Mobilise
Bring together the expertise, partnerships, tools and governance arrangements required for delivery.
Deliver & Embed
Support implementation, track progress, transfer knowledge and strengthen internal ownership.
Advisory support is available internationally through remote and on-site collaboration tailored to each assignment.
On-Demand Project
& PIU Support
Institutions may need dedicated project capacity at particular stages without maintaining a permanent in-house team for every assignment.
SLI provides flexible, assignment-based support for project preparation, funding applications and implementation, including assistance with PIU setup and operations where required. Support can cover individual projects or wider project portfolios.
- Project preparation, funding applications and mobilisation
- PIU setup, operating procedures and definition of roles
- Governance, work planning and partner coordination
- Procurement planning and contract management support
- Monitoring of budgets, schedules, risks, deliverables and reporting requirements
- Project close-out, handover and knowledge transfer
Support is scaled to each assignment and delivered alongside the client’s team, reducing the need for permanent additional staffing while strengthening institutional ownership and accountability.
