DAKI can be used at multiple points in the program/project cycle: deciding on new or existing projects, requests from government and stakeholders; comparing ideas; reviewing work plans; strategic approaches; and resourcing.
Discover DT Global’s Tracking Adaptive Management Initiative (TAMI), a real-time research project exploring how adaptive management approaches are implemented across major DFAT-funded programs in the Asia-Pacific region.
Discover how Nepal’s Local Infrastructure Support Programme (LISP) is helping local governments build infrastructure that is more inclusive, climate resilient, and sustainable by embedding GEDSI and resilience into every stage of the project cycle.
From investment preparation to sustainable operations, DT Global supports infrastructure across the Indo-Pacific. Regional case studies highlight how technical expertise and local partnerships help deliver essential assets and strengthen the institutions managing them.
Southeast Asia has witnessed explosive growth in online scamming operations, and the deceptive and coercive recruitment and employment of workers into them, over the past 5 years.

Over 90% of the water supply to Freetown, Sierra Leone is supplied from Guma Dam and Water Treatment Plant. This facility as well as supply to the city of Freetown is managed by the Guma Valley Water Company. It was estimated that 2 million litres of water were being lost every day. To help address this issue, DT Global worked on the Freetown Water Supply Rehabilitation project, which was funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and concluded last year.
From safer roads to climate-resilient water systems, infrastructure sets the foundation for economic growth and social well-being. Few understand this better than Eleanor Fenton, Principal and Lead of DT Global’s Infrastructure Management Unit (IMU). In this Q&A, Eleanor shares her journey into infrastructure development and explains how DT Global is improving lives through resilient, sustainable infrastructure.
Across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the circular economy holds enormous promise for supporting countries to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Rethinking how products are designed, used, reused, and recycled can help reduce waste, lower emissions, and address biodiversity loss — all while generating local jobs and supporting a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive growth model.
