Project
management
We support clients through assignments of every scale, from targeted short-term interventions to large, multi-year programmes requiring the mobilisation and management of multidisciplinary teams across sectors and geographies. Our services also encompass the management of on-demand draw-down facilities, fund and grant management, contract supervision (of works, goods and grant contracts), and the management of framework contracts requiring the rapid mobilisation of expertise.
Project Examples
Project Management Design and Supervision Consulting Services (PMDSC) under Bagmati River Basin Improvement Project (BRBIP)
The BRBIP, when complete, will improve water security in terms of quantity and quality and resilience to potential climate change impact in the Bagmati River Basin. It builds on the general public’s desire to restore the river environment in the Kathmandu Valley and the Government’s efforts mitigate the impact of water-induced disasters in the middle and lower reaches of the basin. Landell Mills led the Project Management Design and Supervision Consulting Services under BRBIP between 2014 and 2020.

Fund manager of the Afghanistan Business Innovation Fund (ABIF)
ABIF has been able to drive sustainable economic development by collaborating with entrepreneurs through incorporating a ‘Making Markets Work for the Poor’ (M4P) approach within a challenge fund mechanism. The pilot project provided a financial return to grant recipients while also leading to poverty reduction at scale.
ABIF recognised that in order to change the income inequality that had been created by donor driven economic growth, private sector investment was needed. To change the economic situation, Landell Mills designed and implemented a private sector challenge fund. It encouraged the private sector to conceptualise, develop and implement their own innovative pro poor investment projects. The grantees were the vehicle to introduce new goods, services or jobs into the market, and the beneficiaries were Afghans who directly benefitted from investments.
