Catalpa services for transformative impact

OUR SERVICES

What you can engage us to do

We're a delivery and design partner to governments, donors, and development organisations across the Asia-Pacific. We combine program management, systems strengthening, and digital capability to help improve public services — particularly in complex, low-resource environments. Our services rarely operate in isolation — most of our work combines capabilities across all three.

PROGRAM DESIGN & DELIVERY

From concept to rollout — built to deliver.

We work alongside governments and partners to turn priorities into practical action—from early design through implementation to scale—managing risk and delivering measurable results in complex settings.

Program lifecycle management and oversight
Strategy, workplanning, and adaptive management
Monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems
Embedded advisory and technical support

SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING

Built to be owned, not just delivered.

We work alongside ministries and partners to strengthen what sits behind public services — governance, coordination, workforce capability, and the operating models that hold it all together. Our approach builds ownership with delivery teams, so improvements are sustained beyond the life of a project.

Workforce capability and change management

DIGITAL & DATA

Designed to be used, built to last.

We design, build, and steward digital and data systems for service delivery—co-designed with users, tested early, and built for low-resource, low-connectivity environments.

Human-centred design and service design
Custom software built for low-resource contexts
Dashboards, analytics, and data systems
Government integration, handover, and long-term support

Where we work

Four sectors where we have deep experience.

Health

From maternal health and immunisation to digital health systems and frontline workforce support

Education & Skills

Teacher training, curriculum development, digital learning platforms, and vocational skills programs

Governance

Public financial management, transparency systems, district-level planning, and institutional reform.

Social Protection

Cash transfers, early childhood development, social welfare systems, and community-based support

The best solution is the one that works after we leave.

CROSS-CUTTING CAPABILITIES

Capabilities that run through everything we do.

Some of what we do doesn't sit neatly in one service area. These capabilities are woven through our program delivery, systems, and digital work — and they're often what makes the difference between a project that delivers and one that lasts.

LEARNING & CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT

High-quality and equitable learning systems

We create and deliver learning systems — especially for health, education, and civil service training. This includes instructional design and curriculum-aligned content, microlearning and mobile-first learning platforms (like Bero), training-of-trainers models and mentorship programs, localisation of global standards for context-appropriate learning, and ongoing analytics and feedback loops to continuously improve outcomes.

MONITORING, EVALUATION & LEARNING

MEL systems that drive decisions, not just reports

We help partners measure, learn, and adapt. Our MEL work is practical, responsive, and grounded in local realities — not just logframes. We deliver embedded MEL systems and digital tools, learning agendas and strategy reviews, outcome harvesting and human-centred evaluation, and data storytelling that reaches the people making decisions. Evidence only creates value when it's used.
