We don't consult from a distance. We embed our technical experts within the Ministry of Health and Regional Bureaus. By sitting side-by-side with government leaders, we identify the real-world bottlenecks that academic studies often miss.
We use advanced tools like Data Triangulation and Systems Thinking to synthesize information from fragmented sources (e.g., DHIS2 and EPSS). This creates a "single source of truth" that all stakeholders can trust.
Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job. We build permanent tools—like the National Effective Coverage Guide and e-PSIRLS—and train local Scientific Advisory Panels to use them. This ensures the system continues to improve long after our initial engagement.
With offices in both the USA and Ethiopia, Fenot Associates offers a unique dual perspective. We bring Global Standards (scientific rigor, international best practices, and academic links like Harvard) and combine them with Local Fluency (deep understanding of Ethiopia’s administrative structures, language, and community needs). This ensures our solutions aren't just "good on paper"—they are effective in practice.
