Four areas, nine services
We provide research, Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL), grant writing, donor reporting and programme management support. We work with public and private development partners across Kenya and East Africa. Gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) is built into every service. You get the technical expertise and implementation support to deliver effective programmes. Find the problem you face and open the service beneath it.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning
Credible data. Audit-ready reporting. Zero guesswork.
Donors ask for proof and your data cannot give it.
End-to-end M&E systems from experienced M&E consultants, designed to satisfy your most demanding donor. KoboToolbox data collection, GEDSI-disaggregated indicators and climate-resilience metrics built in from the start.
Monitoring & Evaluation
Our monitoring and evaluation services cover the full programme cycle. We build the theory of change, logframe, M&E plan and indicator tracking table (IPTT). We run baseline surveys, midterm reviews and endline evaluations. Digital data collection and sound statistical analysis keep the findings credible. You get clear reports that show what changed and for whom.
Learn MoreMarket Research & Studies
Our market research shows you how markets work, what stakeholders need and whether interventions succeed. We design the research methodology, then run surveys, key informant interviews and focus groups. We handle quantitative and qualitative data analysis, needs assessments and impact evaluations. The findings feed straight into your strategy and your next proposal.
Learn MoreDonor Strategy, Reporting & Grants
Stronger proposals. Cleaner reporting. Repeat funding.
Proposals keep losing, or donor reporting is heavy.
Reporting systems donors trust. Proposals for GIZ, EU, FCDO, foundations and CSR donors. Each carries a credible GEDSI strategy and the climate section most funding windows now require.
Grant & Proposal Writing
Our grant writing consultants handle the whole funding cycle. We find funding opportunities for NGOs, then write and review concept notes and full proposals. Each application follows the call’s scoring criteria. The theory of change, logframe and budget all match. We can also prepare your capability statement and supporting documents.
Learn MoreDonor Relations & Reporting
Donor reporting is easier when the systems are right from the start. We prepare narrative donor reports, compliance checklists and partner updates on time. We also help you manage donor relations so you win repeat funding. The result is trust that lasts beyond one grant.
Learn MoreProgram Management & Delivery
Delivered on time, on budget, on standard.
Delivery is slipping, or your team lacks the skills.
Beyond advice, we run delivery. Concept development, work planning, field coordination and compliance support for GIZ, FCDO, EU and foundation-funded projects.
Program Management
Our project and programme management team turns a funded design into a working plan. We handle concept design, work plans, budgets and field coordination. We track every phase against its milestones and budget. Your project stays on time, on budget and on standard.
Learn MoreManagement Consulting
Our management consulting helps grassroots organisations, CBOs, indigenous organisations and local NGOs grow stronger. We advise on strategic planning, governance, organisational structure and change management. We also prepare you for donor due diligence and direct funding. The aim is an organisation that performs well and lasts beyond its next grant.
Learn MoreCapacity Building & Training
Our capacity building consultants design training that changes how teams work. We start with a training needs assessment, then build the curriculum. Workshops cover M&E, KoboToolbox, data analysis, proposal writing, project management and financial literacy. We also run market systems development training for programme staff. Mentoring and technical assistance help your team use new systems at work.
Learn MoreValue Chains & Market Systems
From subsistence to sustainable, climate-resilient income.
Smallholders are in your programme but still outside the market.
Market-based interventions that connect smallholder farmers, women, youth and indigenous communities to viable markets. We combine climate-smart agriculture, rural finance and food safety.
Market Systems Development
Designing interventions that strengthen systems, not just beneficiaries. We find the constraints, incentives and relationships that keep smallholder farmers out of markets. Then we design programmes that shift those systems for good.
Learn MoreInclusive Value Chains & Food Systems
Market access backed by resilient systems. We support value chain development for smallholder farmers and agribusinesses. Climate-smart agriculture, food safety and rural finance are built in, so programmes hold up in the field.
Learn MoreYouth & Women Economic Empowerment
Economic empowerment works when women and young people earn from real markets. We design enterprise development, skills and market linkage programmes for women and youth. We use GALS and household methods to shift who decides and who earns. Savings groups, credit and digital finance are built in. Every result is tracked by sex, age and disability.
Discuss a programmeEvery result split by who you reached
Our reports disaggregate each indicator and flag the gaps against your targets. Here is the layout.
| Indicator | Women | Youth | People with disabilities | Indigenous communities | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmers trained | 412 (52%) | 268 (34%) | 31 (4%) below 5% target | 54 (7%) | 790 |
| Accessed credit | 190 (48%) | 121 (31%) | 9 (2%) below 5% target | 27 (7%) | 396 |

What you need to know about working with Agcenture
What does an M&E consultant do in Kenya?
An M&E consultant designs the framework, indicators and data tools that prove a programme works. We run baselines, midlines and endlines, then report to donor standards.
Does Agcenture offer management consulting in Kenya?
Yes. We advise NGOs, county governments and donor-funded teams on strategy, structure and delivery. See our management consulting service. For farm clients, see our agribusiness consulting.
What should a grant proposal include?
A clear problem statement, a theory of change and a logframe or results framework. The budget must match the work plan. Read our grant proposal guide.
How do I find CSR donors and funders in Kenya?
Match your thematic focus and county to a funder’s stated priorities, then read their impact reports before you write. Our guide to 20 CSR donors shows what each one funds.
What is a training needs assessment?
It finds the gap between the skills your team has and the skills your programme needs. The result is a costed training plan. Our step-by-step guide shows the method.
