Our Projects
Public Finance Management
CDCI has comprehensive models for undertaking public debt management including debt restructuring. We have developed adequate tools to advise our clients on various debt management methods including debt swap, debt forgiveness, and debt restructuring.
In addition, we have developed an in-house financial restructuring model which is able to give us the state of affairs of a state corporation and the most optimal method of debt management which could be adopted. We have also developed public finance models for assisting governments in budgeting and monitoring of expenditure.

Some of our recent projects on FMIS include:
- Management Information Systems Review for Micro-Enterprise Support Programme (MESPT)

Human Resources Management
CDCI’s advisory on HRM is always geared towards productivity improvement by ensuring that the organisation structure and staffing are all aligned to the organizational goals. The job analysis, job description, job evaluation and grading are all developed from well thought out key performance areas of each position which are in turn developed in line with the goals of the organisation.
Based on the key performance areas for each position in the organisation we develop job profiles which dictate the likely profile of the person to fill the position for maximum productivity. Our recruitment is thereafter based on our recruitment modelled system which ensures us that we get the person to feel the job whose profile is as near as possible to the job profile.
Furthermore, CDCI has in-house systems for job evaluation in which we also use for the preparation of job evaluation manual for use by our clients.

Our model ensures that a complete SWOT analysis is undertaken for all-inclusive strategies.

Capacity Building and Training
CDCI’s key strength in our advisory role to our clients is on capacity building that involves strengthening systems and training of staff. In all the assignments we undertake, we incorporate a capacity building component to ensure that the proposed systems changes arising from our advisory services are implemented and that the staff are trained on the new systems.
We develop training materials, training programmes and training manuals which are all done to the needs of our clients. In addition we facilitate the training based on both formal training and on job training.
