Write to us about partnership opportunities, missions you would like us to consider, procurement processes, or research collaborations.
Tell us the problem you are trying to solve and the constraints you are working under. We will scope a recce mission — a short, senior engagement that maps the operating environment, surfaces the risks not in the official scope, and produces a recce report that decides whether and how to proceed. The recce is the cleanest way to bring us in for a serious engagement.
Write to us about a recce →If you are designing a program in West Africa or planning a regional expansion, we want to be on your shortlist of local implementation partners. We engage as a consortium member, as a managing-agent subcontractor, or directly via single-source procurement where our regional capability is the right fit. See Funders & frameworks for the donor programs we already operate within.
Open a partnership conversation →For Expressions of Interest, framework tenders, and Request for Proposals: we can supply a capability statement, references where available, key staff CVs, fiduciary documentation, and our published red lines. We respond to procurement processes from the World Bank, FCDO, EU, AfDB, and bilateral donor agencies. Send us the procurement reference and we will turn around the documentation quickly.
Request capability statement →Digital Missions is led by a small senior team. Each mission is staffed deliberately, with a named mission lead, mission engineers, and where appropriate, programme specialists drawn from a roster of associates and partners.
Akwasi Appiah Obeng
A digital policy practitioner and health systems researcher with the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in Freetown. For the past ten years he has worked inside the machinery of African digital transformation — running multi-country digital health programmes, managing innovation funds, drafting national strategies, advising ministries. He has seen what it looks like when a state signs an AI strategy and what it looks like when it actually has to enforce one. Those are not the same thing. He holds an MPhil in Health Systems Research and Management from KNUST, is a Professional Engineer registered with the Ghana Institution of Engineering, and is PMP- and HL7 FHIR-certified. He serves on the steering committee of Health Technology Assessment International’s Developing Countries Interest Group and is an Acumen West Africa Fellow. He works in English, French, and Dutch.
David Eglein-Komlah
A Ghanaian software engineer with a decade of experience leading engineering teams across payments, hardware, and education. As Head of DevOps at Hubtel — the Ghanaian payments platform with over $110M in annual revenue — he ran the infrastructure that millions of customers and merchants depend on every day. He later joined Elo Touch Solutions in California as an Engineering Manager; Elo was acquired by Zebra Technologies for $1.3 billion in 2025. He has also worked with the management teams of African startups including SmartSapp (edtech) and HustleSasa (live entertainment). The discipline of high-volume, high-availability payments infrastructure is what the foundational data infrastructure of the African state will demand.
