Driving Global Change, One Step at a Time.

We turn bold development goals into tangible, lasting results by working side-by-side with public institutions—especially in Asia and Africa—to navigate complexity, strengthen government systems, and deliver better services at scale. From transforming how health and education services are delivered, to strengthening social protection systems and building digital platforms that improve transparency, efficiency, and citizen access, we help translate policy into practice where progress is urgent and impact matters most.

Who We Are

Lapnos is an international development firm that delivers scalable, evidence-driven solutions to complex public sector challenges. We work hand-in-hand with governments, international organizations, and NGOs to design and implement high-impact programs that strengthen systems, improve lives, and drive sustainable change.

In regions where resources are stretched and the stakes are high, we bring clarity to complexity—and the experience to make progress real.

What We Do

From overburdened health systems and fragmented education delivery to outdated welfare programs and disconnected digital infrastructure—Lapnos combines deep technical expertise, local insight, and hands-on execution. We support the entire program lifecycle, from strategy and design to implementation, capacity building, and performance tracking—always tailored, always grounded, always built to last.

Our services include:

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL)

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL)
We help organizations understand what works, what doesn’t, and why. Our MEL services include the design of logic models and indicator frameworks, implementation of baseline/midline/endline studies, real-time performance monitoring, and facilitation of adaptive learning processes. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, we generate actionable evidence that not only demonstrates impact but also informs resource allocation, donor confidence, and program refinement in complex settings.

Policy Research and Strategic Advisory

Policy Research and Strategic Advisory
Good policy is rooted in good evidence. Our team conducts applied research, political economy analyses, feasibility studies, and strategy development for governments, international organizations, and multilaterals. By combining rigorous field research with sector expertise, we translate findings into actionable insights and realistic pathways for reform—helping clients make informed policy decisions that are both technically sound and politically feasible.

Technical Assistance to Governments

Technical Assistance to Governments
We deploy experienced advisors and technical specialists to work closely with ministries, local authorities, and public agencies. Our support spans policy design, reform implementation, institutional coordination, and results-based planning. We focus on building internal capacity, improving service delivery systems, and supporting governments in achieving national development priorities.

Institutional Capacity Building

Sustainable development requires strong institutions. We help public sector bodies and development partners strengthen performance through organizational assessments, capacity-building roadmaps, leadership development, training programs, and tailored standard operating procedures (SOPs). Our work ensures that institutions can deliver services effectively, manage resources transparently, and adapt to changing needs.

Social Protection and Public Service Systems Support

We strengthen the design and delivery of programs that improve livelihoods, reduce vulnerability, and promote inclusion. Our team works across the lifecycle of social protection programs—from developing targeting methodologies and grievance redress systems to designing digital MIS platforms and supporting shock-responsive mechanisms. We work closely with governments to make public service delivery more efficient, equitable, and resilient.

Digital Tools for Governance and Service Delivery

We design and implement practical, user-centered digital solutions that enhance governance and improve access to public services. Our offerings include data dashboards, case management systems, citizen engagement platforms, and mobile data collection tools. Using open-source and low-cost technologies, we help clients increase transparency, streamline operations, and make data-driven decisions.

Program and Project Management Support

Effective implementation is just as critical as good design. We provide end-to-end project and program management services, including recruitment, team supervision, procurement support, reporting, and compliance. Whether managing donor-funded initiatives or complex reform programs, our teams ensure operational excellence, accountability, and delivery of results—on time and on budget.

Strategic Communications

Reforms and services succeed only if people understand and trust them. We help governments and public institutions communicate clearly and credibly—whether launching new services, rolling out reforms, or engaging citizens. Our support includes message development, stakeholder engagement, behavior change strategies, and internal communications—ensuring that public sector programs are not just designed and delivered, but embraced and used.

Climate and Resilience

Climate change is reshaping development priorities, and resilience is no longer optional. We help governments and institutions integrate climate-smart strategies into national plans, sector reforms, and service delivery systems. Our work spans climate vulnerability assessments, disaster risk reduction planning, climate finance readiness, and the design of adaptive programs that can withstand shocks. By embedding resilience into policies and institutions, we ensure that development gains are not just achieved but sustained in the face of environmental and climate challenges.

Public Financial Management (PFM)

Strong public finances are the backbone of effective governance. We support governments in strengthening budget planning, expenditure management, revenue mobilization, and fiscal transparency. Our teams provide technical assistance on medium-term expenditure frameworks, performance-based budgeting, audit and compliance systems, and public investment management. By improving how resources are allocated, tracked, and reported, we help governments deliver better services, build citizen trust, and ensure that development programs are financially sustainable.
