Our experience
We have served a diverse clientele of government and civil society actors. As a firm, we come from a background of civil society practice, with a bulk of the team having worked in civil society and some in government. This gives an integrated understanding of the operational context in which the client organisations we support work, and as such, we can offer contextualized and responsive solutions based on their circumstances. Our clients are spread globally. Whereas the bulk of our work is executed in Uganda, we are commissioned by a range of local and international clients for support, and we have supported consultancies both in Uganda and abroad. Please see Table 1 for a listing of some of our previous consulting projects.

About Development Links Consult
Development Links Consult is a social sector development management consulting firm duly registered and incorporated in Uganda since 2007. As a body corporate, we are fully compliant with the statutory obligations governing corporate entities in Uganda. We are also among the few private sector consulting firms registered with the government’s procurement and disposal body, the Public Procurement and Disposal Authority (PPDA), which entitles us offer services to government entities. We operate independently and are not affiliated with any other organisation. DLC serves a diverse clientele in the civil society and government sectors in Uganda and in the region, with previous consultancies executed in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Madagascar, Congo DRC. Our consulting business is driven by our vision of "An African society where vulnerable groups live a dignified life free of violence, abuse, and exploitation. Through our consulting practice, we aim to contribute to the enhancement of the scale and effectiveness of development interventions that target vulnerable groups in Africa. This is realized through the consulting services we deliver to our partners and clients across our core and thematic consulting areas. The crux of our consulting work is in the areas of Program development, Safeguarding and Child Protection, Monitoring and Evaluation/OIO, Grants management and partnership mediation, Organisational strengthening, Policy analysis and review, applied (action) research, and Planning and execution of development-oriented events such as conferences, dialogue, and knowledge sharing encounters. Our business philosophy is that if we are client-centred, practice with Integrity, deliver Quality on time, and keep on Learning from practice, then we shall be successful and profitable.
Our Company Structure
We blend the right people, expertise, and technologies to help our client organizations improve their organisational effectiveness in the program work that they undertake. We reflected in our company organogram; we operate a functional structure with the Board of Directors at the helm of the company and the governing and policy-making authority of DLC. The Resident Director provides strategic leadership to the company and works with a management team. The firm has three major departments: the consulting services department, the Finance and Administration department, and the Operations department, each headed by a manager. Our consulting model provides for a core team of permanent in-house consultants and a broader pool of vetted consultants in the specialities that resonate with our consulting practice areas. These consultants are drawn on from time to time to support the consultancy work that we undertake. They are identified and contracted by business unit, but the technical supervision is conducted by the consulting unit. From our experience undertaking research projects across the country, we have built a team and database of researchers. We are therefore able to deploy research teams that are contextually aware of the environments in which we work and have the required language and cultural competence. This is the same model that we use in the execution of the consultancy framework engagement. We draw from our core team as well as from our vetted consultants to ensure the timely and responsive delivery of clients’ needs. Currently, DLC has a team of in-house core staff and a pool of vetted Associate Consultants across our consulting areas who can be drawn on to support our consulting work within our areas of expertise. We blend the right people, expertise, and technologies to help our client organizations improve their performance and meet their targets and objectives.
