Case study

Financial architecture for a large-scale nationwide programme

The context

ActionAid was developing a multi-year nationwide programme. Although the programme design was already in place, its scale and complexity required an integrated financial structure capable of demonstrating feasibility and supporting implementation readiness.

Santi’s contribution

Santi translated the programme design into a comprehensive financial architecture, connecting activities, implementation stages, timelines, teams, institutional responsibilities and expenditure categories.

The work incorporated tax, employment, inflation and administrative assumptions, as well as coordination, management, monitoring and evaluation costs. Santi also developed different budget views and a consolidated financial database to support planning, financial monitoring and future accountability.

The outcome

The final budget was validated and fully adopted by ActionAid. It provided a consistent and traceable financial framework capable of demonstrating the initiative’s feasibility and supporting funding readiness and implementation.
