THE SERVICE

A complete matchmaking mission, executed on the ground in Nairobi.

SCA Partner acts as the local implementation partner for the organisation contracting the mission. We take responsibility for everything that happens inside Kenya: market preparation, pre-screened B2B meetings, the sector congress, site visits, evening programmes and structured post-mission follow-up.

Our framework mirrors the structure of internationally funded matchmaking missions — and is therefore directly compatible with the standards expected by export-promotion agencies, chambers of commerce and trade associations.

NINE WORK PACKAGES

Every deliverable, with a clear definition of done.

All work packages are tracked on a shared SharePoint workspace with a weekly jour fixe from five months out.

A 5–7 page market dossier plus a curated long-list of 100 Kenyan companies and institutions — distributors, end-users, regulators, integrators — colour-coded by network proximity.

Quality safeguards apply: reductions on Milestone 2 are linked to delegate meeting counts and congress attendance, ensuring the Client only pays for results delivered.

Our Nairobi-based senior team delivers projects directly — never through sub-contractors — with established access to Kenyan ministries, regulators, leading end-users, and tier-1 distributors. We maintain international delivery standards through structured workflows, milestone reporting, and KPI-based accountability, supported by bilingual English and Kiswahili communication.
