Our
Values

Integrity

We uphold the highest standards of honesty and ethical conduct in everything we do — even when no one is watching.

As former diplomats and donor advisors, we understand the weight of responsibility that comes with influence and access. We've operated in complex, high-stakes environments where trust is earned through transparency, consistency, and respect for the people and systems we serve.


Clarity

We believe in cutting through the noise. Our work is grounded, direct, and purposeful — we say what we mean and deliver what we promise.

We are not just analysts—we are pragmatic operators who know how to get things done in real-world conditions.


Partnership

We build genuine, trust-based relationships with clients, collaborators, and communities — co-creating solutions that reflect shared goals.

Our experience navigating government, private sector, and community interests has taught us that the most meaningful results come from investing in relationships, not just transactions.


Pragmatism

We prioritize what works. We draw on real-world experience to offer practical advice, actionable strategies, and measurable impact.

As former diplomats, advisors, and field operators, we bring insider knowledge of how programs are designed, funded, and evaluated—from the boardroom to the field.


Our team of professionals operate at the intersection of public and private, understanding how policy, power, and capital move.

Originally established in 2008 as Katuni Consult Limited (KCL), a Private Limited Company (Ltd) based in Nairobi, Kenya, the firm began as a research-driven consultancy providing expert guidance and facilitation to a broad range of institutions—including UN Women, the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), The World Bank, and Mott MacDonald.

Now operating as KCL Global, registered as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the United States, the firm continues to advance the private sector’s role in sustainable development—leveraging inclusive business models, impact investing, and shared value partnerships.
