Consulting built for complex health and development assignments.
Platinum26 delivers advisory and implementation support across the full programme and management cycle — from national strategy and policy through to facilitation, systems strengthening, and operational delivery.
Strategic & Operational Planning
Strong strategy is the foundation of everything. But strategy that cannot be implemented is just aspiration.
We support governments, health programmes, and institutions to develop strategic and operational plans that are technically sound, stakeholder-informed, and built for execution in the real world. This includes national health framework development, sub-national planning support, organisational strategy, business case development, implementation roadmaps, and accountability-oriented planning processes.
We understand how planning processes work in government and donor-funded environments — the timelines, the consultation requirements, the political sensitivities, and the practical constraints that determine whether a plan gets implemented or shelved. We work within those realities.
Outputs: Strategic plans · Operational plans · Implementation roadmaps · Planning frameworks · Business cases · Workshop facilitation
Private Healthcare Advisory
Healthcare Enterprise Advisory for Clinics, Practices and Growing Healthcare Businesses
Many small and medium healthcare enterprises are clinically strong but operationally under-supported. Platinum26 helps clinics, practices, pharmacies, allied health businesses, diagnostic providers, and healthcare entrepreneurs strengthen operations, improve patient flow, build management systems, improve financial discipline, and prepare for sustainable growth.
This support is designed for healthcare businesses that need senior management insight but are not ready to hire a full executive team or engage a large consulting firm.
Outputs: Management advisory · Operational review · Systems strengthening · Strategic positioning · Public-private interface advisory · NHI navigation
Policy, Guidelines & SOP Development
Good policy documents change what people do. Bad ones sit in folders.
We work with partners to develop, review, and refine policies, technical guidelines, standard operating procedures, and implementation manuals that are credible, well-structured, and genuinely usable. We have developed guidelines on HIV, PMTCT, viral hepatitis, STIs, maternal and child health, and primary healthcare delivery — for national governments, provincial departments, and implementing organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Our contribution spans drafting, technical review, stakeholder validation, and packaging for implementation contexts. We produce documents that meet regulatory and programmatic standards and that the people who use them can actually navigate.
Outputs: Policy documents · Technical guidelines · Standard operating procedures · Implementation manuals · Review and revision support · Stakeholder validation processes
Health Systems Strengthening
Health systems are complex. Strengthening them requires both technical knowledge and the ability to work across the institutional and political terrain that shapes how they function.
We help organisations diagnose systems challenges, strengthen coordination mechanisms, improve service delivery approaches, and support more coherent health system performance. Our work spans governance, integration pathways, service delivery model design, workforce support, quality improvement, and the operational management of health programmes across public, private, and mixed health systems.
Outputs: Systems assessments · Coordination frameworks · Governance support · Service delivery strengthening · Operational improvement recommendations
Facilitation & Capacity Building
The most important work often happens in the room — when the right people are brought together with the right structure and the right facilitation.
We design and facilitate workshops, strategic retreats, technical working sessions, and stakeholder consultations that move beyond discussion into decision and commitment. We bring both content expertise and process skill — which means we can facilitate complex, multi-stakeholder processes where the facilitator needs to be technically credible, not just a neutral moderator. Clients engage us for this work because we understand the substance as well as the process.
Outputs: Workshop design and facilitation · Strategic retreats · Technical working sessions · Stakeholder consultations · Facilitation reports and action plans
Programme Reviews, Assessments & Evaluations
Knowing what is working — and what is not — is the prerequisite for improvement.
We provide structured review and evaluation support to help clients, such as the Global Fund Partners, assess programme performance, understand implementation bottlenecks, examine technical quality, and generate recommendations that are both honest and actionable. Our reviews combine analytical rigour, meaningful stakeholder engagement, and the practical judgement that comes from years of delivery experience. We do not just identify problems. We help clients understand what to do about them.
Outputs: Programme review reports · Technical assessments · Evaluation findings · Stakeholder validation processes · Improvement recommendations
Partnerships, Stakeholder Engagement & Technical Assistance
Complex health and development assignments often depend on alignment between governments, funders, implementing partners, private-sector actors, technical experts, and communities. Platinum26 supports clients to structure engagement processes, convene stakeholders, coordinate technical inputs, and translate diverse perspectives into practical decisions and implementable outputs.
Outputs: Stakeholder engagement plans · Technical assistance frameworks · Partnership support · Consultation design · Meeting synthesis · Decision briefs · Implementation support
Business Development & Intelligence
Healthcare and development organisations increasingly need disciplined support to identify opportunities, assess strategic fit, position themselves for funding or partnership, and convert ideas into credible proposals. Platinum26 supports opportunity scanning, bid readiness, donor and partner intelligence, concept development, and strategic positioning for health-sector opportunities.
Outputs: Opportunity scans · Bid-readiness support · Donor and partner mapping · Concept notes · Proposal positioning · Capture planning · Business development trackers
