A fully Zambian-owned advisory and consulting organisation serving governments, development organisations, NGOs, private firms and international institutions — delivering world-class expertise across the full development and consulting spectrum.
Progress Path Alliance Zambia Limited (PPA) is a fully Zambian-owned, locally registered independent non-profit research and development organisation — a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act — standing at the intersection of development, innovation, and impact.
What makes PPA distinctly valuable is a rare combination: internationally-credentialled expertise delivered through a locally-rooted Zambian organisation. We are neither a foreign firm operating at arm's length nor a small local consultancy with limited reach. We are a genuinely polyvalent advisory and consulting partner — capable of competing for and delivering complex, multi-disciplinary mandates at both Zambian and international levels.
Our team brings together expertise in development finance, climate adaptation, public health systems, fisheries economics, corporate finance, due diligence, management accounting and digital health — enabling us to serve government ministries, international donors, NGOs, private sector clients and development organisations with unmatched depth and credibility.

PPA delivers across the full spectrum of development, finance and management consulting — providing governments, NGOs, firms and international organisations with a single, high-calibre Zambian partner capable of handling complex, multi-disciplinary mandates from design through to delivery.
PPA is led by a multidisciplinary team whose combined professional credentials span development finance, climate science, public health, corporate finance, due diligence, management accounting and digital systems. Our leadership has delivered mandates across Zambia, sub-Saharan Africa, and internationally — for multilateral institutions, bilateral donors, governments and private sector clients.
Our qualifications include MCom Development Finance with Distinction (UCT), CFA Level I, FCCA, PhD in Climate Change Adaptation, MBA, Chartered Portfolio Manager, ACCA and FZICA — placing PPA among the most credentialled development and consulting teams operating in Zambia today. We bring the rigour and methodology of global consulting firms with the local insight and government relationships that only a Zambian firm can offer.
Our programme finance management expertise has been formally recognised at senior level. A formal recommendation is available from the Finance Director of a major multi-country donor-funded programme — available to qualifying prospective clients and partners on request.
We occupy a unique and highly valuable position in the Zambian and African consulting market — a locally-owned firm with international-grade credentials, deep government relationships, and a track record of delivery at every level from community health to multi-million dollar programme finance.
World Bank, IFC, AfDB, GCF and UN project design, compliance, budget development and oversight across grants, contracts and cooperative agreements.
