Instiglio
A core contributing factor to the influence Instiglio has had thus far includes our collaborative, highly skilled and diverse team. We are a team of 100+ people, representing 15+ nationalities, with offices in Colombia, Kenya, Morocco, Mauritius and the USA. Our team of practitioners has extensive development and government experience, including previous roles in international development banks, management consulting, national governments, multilateral agencies, INGOs and academia.
Instiglio is an international non-profit organization with offices in Kenya, Morocco, Colombia, Peru, Mauritius, and the United States that empowers organizations to improve the impact of social programs in low- and middle-income countries by designing and implementing Results-Based Financing (RBF), innovative finance, and Performance Management systems. Since 2012, Instiglio has worked with social and public leaders in over 70 organizations (at varying levels of expansion and growth) and in over 30 countries across Africa, Latin America, and South-East Asia.
Instiglio has designed and implemented over 60 projects to improve outcomes across the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, including clean water and sanitation, socio-economic growth, workforce development, education, women's and girls’ economic empowerment, global health, governance, and institutional strengthening. Organizations we work with include bilateral donors (e.g., USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, FCDO), multilateral organizations (e.g., World Bank, United Nations bodies, such as UNHCR and UNICEF), foundations (e.g., Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, UBS Optimus Foundation, IKEA Foundation), government agencies and ministries (e.g., governments of Kenya, Colombia, Peru, Egypt, Morocco), high-impact service providers (e.g., Living Goods, Village Enterprise, Educate Girls), and research organizations (e.g., Center for Global Development, Harvard University, Ecorys, Brookings).
With support from funding partners, Instiglio’s Kenya office has been working to support relevant Government of Uganda (GoU) stakeholders in adopting innovative finance opportunities to promote effective and sustainably financed safe water services in rural areas since January 2024. As part of this support, Instiglio identified core barriers within the rural safe water sub-sector and developed the preliminary concept of the Delivery Accelerator (DA). The DA is a financial vehicle with tailored results-based methods that aims to i) bridge the finance gap in the sub-sector through innovative financing, ii) support the operationalization and effectiveness of Uganda’s Operations and Maintenance Framework for rural safe water, and iii) deliver more accountable results in the sub-sector.
In the next project phase, Instiglio will design the early working model of the DA, further co-developing it with the Government of Uganda (GoU). Instiglio will lead technical design components of the Delivery Accelerator with a keen understanding of both the legal and financial requirements of the GoU and potential funders. We will define and construct key structural parameters of the DA, such as its legal framework, scope, and performance elements necessary for success. Instiglio, with support from the Consultant, will develop a prototype based on feedback and collaborative co-design efforts with the Ministry of Water and Environment and other key governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. The design will be further informed by relevant legal and financial regulations, as well as by case studies and lessons learned from district-level piloting of performance-based contracts. Insights from other financial vehicles and experiences in East Africa, particularly in the rural safe water sector, will be incorporated to ensure the design is tailored to the local context and addresses operational challenges. This will require extensive engagement with stakeholders both nationally and sub-nationally.
The Consultant will play a crucial role in facilitating the modelling of the financial vehicle. Primary responsibilities include, for example, creating financial scenarios and projections to shape the DA’s design, as well as identifying and assessing relevant financial and fiduciary risks. The Consultant will help define components of the financial model, such as projected revenue, expenses, cash flow, and growth potential, and will conduct sensitivity analyses. The Consultant should be knowledgeable of various funding strategies, risks, and financial assumptions to inform the model’s performance and sustainability. The Consultant will also collaborate with the Ministry of Water and Environment and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the model aligns to identified requirements of donors (e.g., legal, financial).

The work will involve frequent engagement and check-ins with the Instiglio team involved in the Uganda Safe Water project who will act as the overall ‘client’ and will coordinate the Consultant’s inputs. The assignment can be conducted remotely via online calls, text and email inputs. Once the assignment begins, the ToR will likely be refined based on emerging information and decisions made by key stakeholders. Instiglio, led by the Consultant’s manager, will continually highlight priority areas and updates on ToR adaptation. Any expectations regarding the Consultant’s time will be based on tasks achievable within the maximum number of days highlighted. The Consultant will be required to update Instiglio on utilization of days and tasks achieved every month.
Instiglio seeks a Consultant from February 1, 2024.
