Government Agencies

Declining health funding. New opportunities. Malaria programs, public health institutes, and AIDS commissions have seen enormous growth over the last twenty years. Multilateral and bilateral donor organizations have provided significant funding, with limited competition, to scale solutions to epidemic control, malaria, and HIV.  These efforts have been enormously successful, resulting i declines in mortality and morbidity, especially among children under 5. These donors, however, are now seeing declining funding. As a result, international funding for these institutions will become more scarce, while domestic resources are unlikely to fill the gap.

Scale without systems. Declining global health funding, while a significant challenge, also opens new opportunities for improved planning, strategy and execution for government agencies. Until recently, they have not needed high quality business development and project design expertise. With increased competition, however, new systems and structures for collecting the right information, designing technical approaches, and writing winning proposals are critical to the continued success of these institutions. Yet, the structure of these grants, with minimal provisions for indirect funding or institutional strengthening, precludes their ability to develop these systems.  Parastatals are caught in a catch-22, they have the scale to succeed, but not the design structures to support scale.

Partnership for delivery. Cadence Advisory can help government agencies escape this cycle. Cadence uses a partnership based model. When your institution partners with Cadence, we become your trusted partner, building on your existing business development systems while bringing industry leading tools and skills to bear on your development challenges. We strengthen the business development skills of your existing staff, to support their efforts to build opportunity pipelines, develop donor relationships, and lead grant writing efforts. When we win together, Cadence becomes part of your implementation team, providing program management, systems strengthening, and evaluation support. Using this model, Cadence creates an accessible way for government agencies, with limited institutional funding, to strengthen their pursuit of opportunities, improve grant prospecting and writing skills, and deliver results, without taking on financial risk.
