Network and governance of assignments

Collaborative ecosystem

The Company does not hold in-house the twenty areas of expertise in its catalogue. For each mandate, it assembles a team selected from a register, under a written mandate.

A team assembled for each mandate

Five families, twenty services, one register of contributors

Five families, twenty services, a team lead per service and a register of contributors mobilised mandate by mandate. Coordination responsibility and quality control remain with the Company.

Selection is documented: availability, experience, conflicts of interest.

Standing reservation A person listed in the ecosystem is never assigned work automatically. No fee is owed without a mandate accepted and formalised in writing.

Categories

Ten categories of contributors, each with a clearly defined status

The ecosystem is not a headcount. Each category corresponds to a distinct status, and the site does not confuse them.

01

Management and governance

People who direct, represent and commit the Company.

02

Service team leads

Responsible for the technical coordination of a service on the mandates that call on it.

03

Sector experts

Specialists in a field, listed and mobilised case by case.

04

Project managers and coordinators

Responsible for the schedule, milestones and reporting of a mandate.

05

Territorial focal points

Documented local presence in a territory, under a written agreement.

06

Independent advisers and consultants

Professionals who can be mobilised according to the needs of a mandate.

07

Institutional partners

Organisations linked to the Company by a written agreement.

08

Authorised partner professionals

09

Specialised suppliers

Territorial focal points

The Company announces a local presence only when it is documented under a written agreement. No such agreement is in force at the date of publication, so no country is named.

How the ecosystem works

01

Why a network rather than a headcount

A corridor mandate rarely calls on the same skills twice in a row. A sector study in Senegal, a response to an institutional call for tenders and a business plan for a processing company require neither the same profiles, nor the same working languages, nor the same regulatory knowledge. A fixed headcount would force us to sell what it knows how to do. A register makes it possible to assemble the team the mandate requires, and to account for it to the client.

02

Four statuses not to be confused

Independent contributor: a professional engaged for a specific mandate, under a written contract, paid per assignment. Focal point: a person or entity providing a documented local presence in a territory, under a written agreement. Service provider: a supplier of a defined service, with no part in conducting the mandate. Authorised professional: a lawyer, accountant, licensed agent or any holder of a reserved authorisation, to whom the regulated part of the work is entrusted. None of these statuses entails representing the Company or the power to commit it.

03

How a person enters the register

An application is received, then verified on everything that can be verified: identity, legal existence of the entity, fields of work, languages, territories, verifiable references, and professional authorisations where the activity requires them. Whatever cannot be verified is recorded as such in the profile. The listing is dated and subject to review.

04

What a listing does not provide

A listed person is never assigned work automatically. No fee is owed without a mandate accepted and formalised in writing. A listing constitutes neither employment, nor exclusivity, nor a promise of volume, nor a right to use the Company's name or seal.

05

Selection for a given mandate

At step 6 of the cycle, the register is consulted. Selection is based on availability on the dates of the mandate, documented experience on comparable work and the absence of any declared conflict of interest. The selection is recorded in writing, with the reason for the choice. The client is informed of the team's composition before work begins.

06

Contracting and scope

Each contributor signs a mandate that defines the scope of their work, the expected deliverables, the schedule, the fee, confidentiality obligations, ownership of the work and limits of liability. A contributor does not communicate directly with the client outside the framework set out in the mandate.

07

Quality control and evaluation

The Company retains responsibility for coordination and for quality control before delivery. An interim check takes place at step 13 and a validation at step 14. At close-out, each contributor's performance is evaluated and recorded, which informs subsequent selections.

08

Privacy

Client information circulates only among the people whose mandate makes it necessary. Confidentiality agreements are signed before any access to the file. Documents are archived at close-out according to the retention rules set out in the mandate.
