Rethinking Design

Through our advisory and consulting services, we empower you to spark meaningful conversations, make informed decisions, and create innovative and impactful solutions.

• Strategic Research – With deep expertise in applied research, we gather the most relevant data to address the development issue(s) at hand. When necessary, we work closely with you to design and execute tailored surveys, collecting valuable insights to inform and guide your strategy.

• Partnering for Impact – We believe in the power of collaboration. By fostering strong connections with key stakeholders, we ensure their insights are embedded in the solution-building process, promoting ownership and alignment from the start.

• Unlocking Data Insights – Using advanced analytical tools, we transform data into actionable insights and craft compelling narratives that fuel the creation of powerful, results-driven strategies.

Developed by Kalena Global, The Audacity Process (T.A.P) provides a framework for development practitioners to design empowering and impactful interventions. Our workshops, held four times a year, provide actionable insights and tools to apply this transformative approach to real-world development challenges. The workshops go through the four phases of the Audacity Process.

• Connection: Building deep, authentic connections with stakeholders.
• Exploration: Collectively uncovering root causes and opportunities for growth.
• Synergistic Creation: Collaboratively designing innovative, impactful, sustainable solutions.
• Evolution: Refining projects to maximize long-term impact.

Audacity & Action is a dynamic podcast for bold thinkers, changemakers, and innovators in global development. Hosted by Edna Massay Kallon, founder of Kalena Global, this podcast explores how bold ideas can be transformed into real, impactful action.

Each episode features either a thought-provoking interview with global leaders from both the private and public sectors, grassroots innovators, a solo deep dive into pressing topics, or an engaging panel discussion with development experts. Together, they collaborate to rethink traditional approaches to solving complex issues like poverty, inequality, and climate change. Audacity & Action provides listeners with actionable insights, real-world case studies, and fresh perspectives on the future of global development.
