Development Finance
Institutions

HAPSS is the credible Nigerian implementation partner for development finance institutions investing in public sector digital transformation. We bridge the gap between donor strategy and on-the-ground delivery.

The implementation gap

What DFIs typically need in Nigeria.

Development finance programmes routinely fail not at design stage but at implementation — because the local partner lacks the operational credibility, government relationships, and technical depth to execute inside real institutional constraints.

What we bring

Credible local implementation

HAPSS is a Nigerian operator, not a liaison office for a foreign consultancy. Our leadership has worked inside government procurement, built regulated technology products for Nigerian users, and navigated the institutional complexity DFI programmes encounter.

We are accountable to both the donor and the government client — and we structure every engagement so that accountability is visible and enforceable at both levels.

Programme design

Technical assistance that transfers

Most DFI-funded technical assistance is designed in Geneva or Washington. HAPSS co-designs with both the funder and the government counterpart so that the programme reflects actual institutional capacity, absorptive limits, and political context.

The result is a programme that government staff can own and continue after the grant period ends — not a system that collapses when the international experts leave.

M&E

Monitoring built for results-based financing

HAPSS programmes are structured around independently verifiable milestones from day one. We design the M&E framework as part of the programme design — not as an afterthought. This allows disbursement to be tied to evidence, not to effort.

Fiduciary

Procurement and financial management compliance

All HAPSS sub-contracts, procurement decisions, and financial records are maintained to IDA, AfDB, and bilateral donor fiduciary standards. We welcome donor financial management reviews and build audit readiness into every programme.

Fiduciary standards

How we manage donor funds.

Separate programme accounts

Donor funds maintained in dedicated accounts segregated from operating funds, with real-time reporting access for programme managers.

Milestone-linked disbursement

All donor disbursements are tied to independently verified programme milestones, not to calendar-based tranches.

Open procurement

Sub-contractor and vendor selection follows donor procurement guidelines. All sub-contract awards are documented and available for review.

Quarterly financial reporting

Detailed expenditure reports in donor-specified format, including variance analysis and forward projections, delivered on agreed timelines.

Independent M&E

Third-party evaluator contracted separately from HAPSS. We do not control our own performance measurement — by design and by donor requirement.

Anti-corruption protocols

Mandatory conflict-of-interest disclosure, procurement ethics training for all staff, and whistle-blower channel accessible directly to donor oversight.
