The experience below reflects assignments delivered by Eco-consult staff — including the founder — individually and as members of partner and multidisciplinary teams, across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the wider region. Engagements have been commissioned by regional intergovernmental bodies, United Nations agencies, bilateral and multilateral development partners, research institutions, universities, national agencies and private-sector firms. Client names and contract values are withheld; details are available on request under appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Stock assessment, acoustic and catch surveys, aquaculture siting and carrying-capacity studies across marine, lacustrine and inland waters — establishing what a fishery can sustainably produce and where production can safely expand.
Multi-country sector studies mapping supply chains, operators, institutions and investment opportunities — including stakeholder databases, structured field interviews at ports, landing sites and processing facilities, and synthesis into practical guidance for investors and public agencies.
Fish value-chain analysis from landing site to market: handling, processing, cold chain, traceability, quality standards, and the requirements for access to regional and international export markets.
Building and calibrating ecosystem and hydrodynamic models of large lake and river systems to explain how they behave, forecast ecological risk and test management scenarios — including work that fed directly into regional policy deliberations.
Multi-country pre-assessments of production systems against international sustainability standards, combining stakeholder engagement with full technical gap analysis and a credible route to certification and improved trade compliance.
Ecosystem spatial planning, circulation analysis and suitability assessment to guide where production, infrastructure and conservation activity should be located — assignments formally rated as exceeding expectations.
Survey and analysis of lake bed and shoreline conditions to inform water-intake design, navigation and major infrastructure investment decisions.
Integrating satellite earth observation with field IoT sensing to generate actionable intelligence for farmers, agencies and climate-resilience programmes.
Valuing ecosystem services, natural capital and livelihood benefits; cost-benefit and feasibility analysis; and distributional assessment to support investment, financing and policy choices.
Baseline, mid-term, end-line and impact evaluations; design of monitoring and learning systems; and socio-economic and governance research across resource-dependent communities.
Assessing climate risk and vulnerability and embedding gender and social inclusion into resource management, value chains and resilience programming.
Designing and delivering hands-on training for scientists, analysts and managers across multiple countries — in modelling, analytics, geospatial methods, monitoring and field science.
Policy review, institutional assessment and science–policy engagement supporting transboundary and national management of shared natural resources.
Across these engagements our consistent contribution has been the same: rigorous, defensible evidence, delivered on time, translated into decisions our clients can act on — and capability left behind with the teams we work alongside.
Our team has delivered work for, and partnered with, organisations of the following kinds across the region and internationally. Individual client names are withheld and can be provided as references on request.
Regional fisheries and environment organisations, East African Community institutions and continental agencies.
UN bodies working on food, agriculture, fisheries and rural development.
European and Nordic development agencies, multilateral funds and international financing partners.
National research institutes and universities in East Africa, Europe and North America.
National ministries, statutory agencies, county governments and public water utilities.
International conservation NGOs, development foundations, engineering firms and technology partners.
Partnership is not a line in our values. It is how rigorous, locally grounded evidence gets made.
