Inscap Associates is an East-Africa–based international development advisory firm. We help donors, governments, and implementing organisations turn funding into measurable results. Our work combines big-firm technical rigour with deep local presence across Kenya, South Sudan, and the Horn of Africa.
We specialise in the parts of the development cycle where money meets accountability: fund management, public financial management, value-for-money assessment, monitoring & evaluation, governance, and institutional capacity building.
We believe development finance should be transparent, well-governed, and demonstrably effective. We bring independent assurance and practical advice that helps our clients spend well, prove impact, and build lasting local capacity.
Four practice areas covering the development cycle where money meets accountability.
End-to-end support where funding meets accountability — from fund design to evidence of impact.

Practical capacity building that leaves skills behind, not just reports.
Deep technical experience across the sectors that matter most to development partners in the region.
