Social infrastructure · South Africa
Infrastructure alone does not create impact. People do.
Civic Foundry researches, advises on, delivers and measures social infrastructure, so that every rand invested can be shown to have changed something.
Where we fit
Between the money and the community
Civic Foundry is a social infrastructure specialist committed to delivering equitable outcomes for all stakeholders.
Our model is impact driven, and measures and maximises social, economic, and environmental outcomes. Through integrated stakeholder management, we generate the evidence, partnerships, and implementation strategies needed to deliver infrastructure that creates lasting value for communities.

Our model
Four stages. One continuous conversation.
Research, advisory, implementation and evaluation run in sequence. Stakeholder engagement runs through all four. It is not a phase that closes.

Research
What is needed, and why?
02
Advisory
What should we do?
03
Implementation
How do we deliver it successfully?
04
Monitoring & Evaluation
Does the project achieve the intended impact?
