Mogadishu — Nairobi · Est. 2017
A multidisciplinary development consultancy dual-headquartered in Somalia and Kenya — delivering renewable energy, governance, humanitarian, and institutional programming across the Horn of Africa for nearly a decade.
Founded in Mogadishu in 2017, HSI was built on the conviction that lasting development requires more than technical competence — it demands contextual fluency, institutional trust, and long-term commitment that transforms external expertise into enduring local capacity.
Today, HSI stands as one of East Africa's most versatile and operationally agile consultancy firms, delivering high-impact assignments across renewable energy, humanitarian programming, governance reform, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional development — for clients ranging from multilateral donors and international NGOs to national governments and community-based organisations.
HSI's operational reach spans Somalia and Kenya's arid and semi-arid counties, with active engagements and partner networks extending across Ethiopia, Djibouti, and the wider East African region.

Every engagement begins with listening — to the client, to local stakeholders, and to the context itself. We bring international standards of quality and accountability to every assignment, while remaining agile enough to respond to the fluid realities of the environments in which we work.
Our teams combine internationally trained professionals with deeply rooted local expertise, ensuring that our outputs are not only technically sound but implementable, sustainable, and owned by the communities and institutions they are designed to serve.
International standards of quality, delivered with the contextual intelligence only a decade of presence can build.
Nearly a decade of continuous operations across the Horn of Africa, through environments that test continuity.
Seamless operations from both Mogadishu and Nairobi — full-time presence, not a fly-in consultancy model.
Built for complex, conflict-affected, and remote environments — where our presence makes the greatest difference.
International standards paired with a deep, regionally specific knowledge base of the Horn of Africa.
A track record with UN agencies, INGOs, development finance institutions, and national governments.
Energy, humanitarian, governance, MEL, and strategic advisory — under one operational standard.
