Our History

Transformational Consulting was established to sustain the efforts of the USAID-funded project, Accelerating Support to Advanced Local Partners I and II (ASAP), implemented by IntraHealth International.  Transformational Consulting aims to empower global and community organizations through evidence-based assessments, transform capacity gaps into the highest organizational standards, improve service performance, and unlock organizational potential for growth.  

ASAP developed an organizational assessment tool based on USAID's Non-US Government Pre-Award Survey (NUPAS), in collaboration with 30 partner organizations.  The tool was used over 170 times as a pre- and post-assessment and was translated into French and Portuguese.  

ASAP's capacity-building initiatives supported 123 organizations in board development and training, communication, grants management, human resources, information technology, monitoring and evaluation, NGO financial stewardship and audit preparation, procurement and logistics, program management, property management, public financial management, quality assurance, risk management, strategic planning, and resource mobilization.

Capacity-strengthening support was provided by continuous on-site and virtual training, mentoring, and coaching to revise internal and external operating procedures. 

ASAP's Global Education and Knowledge Sharing provided training and networking. Other activities included:

  • Managed seven Annual USAID Local Partner Meetings for Global Health for over 2,000 delegates. 

  • Hosted 116 webinars for 5000+ participants in multiple languages on topics such as financial management compliance, budgeting, and indirect costs. 

  • Facilitated 12 Communities of Practice to foster peer-to-peer learning in four technical thematic areas: Leadership and Governance, Financial Management, and Monitoring and Evaluation, and in three languages, English, French, and Portuguese, with a total of 70 sessions for over 500 participants. 

  • Developed and translated six user-friendly Training Manuals into English, French, Portuguese, and Swahili.
