Who we are

When public institutions excel, societies and the planet thrive. Instiglio exists to unlock that potential — partnering with purpose-driven leaders to imagine what’s possible, challenge the status quo, and pursue excellence, exponentially improving outcomes for people. Instiglio is a team of impact-driven innovators — thinkers and doers — based in Africa and Latin America, working alongside public institutions and their partners to exponentially improve outcomes for people.

Since 2012, in more than 30 low- and middle-income countries we have partnered with more than 200 organisations — from government ministries and service providers to global donors, leading philanthropies, and private sector actors. Through these partnerships, we’ve helped shape a new generation of impact-driven financing. Together, this work has helped ensure better outcomes for ~98 million people and influenced more than $1 billion in public spending.

Our team draws on years of experience and sector expertise spanning health, education, climate, environment, economic development, WASH, Public Financial Management, refugees and more. We partner with governments and development actors to align public funding with measurable outcomes and strengthen the systems, incentives, and capabilities that drive sustained impact.

To scale our impact, we incubated the Government Empowerment Network (GEN) — a globally networked, AI-powered, and government-led reform accelerator designed to empower civil servants to incubate reforms that transform government institutions, strengthen service delivery, and improve citizens' lives.

We are now entering a new chapter where we are focusing on truly scaling our impact, and setting up the internal systems, sophisticated leadership rhythms and bold organizational transformation, such as AI integration to match our global ambition.

Our team

Our success is driven by our collaborative, highly skilled, and diverse team of 80+ people representing over 15 nationalities located in our offices in Colombia, Kenya, Morocco, Mauritius, and Uganda. Our team members have extensive experience in development and government, with previous roles in international development banks, national governments, multilateral agencies, INGOs, and academia.
