Catalyzing transitions for
future economies
& societies.

Sevea is a Cambodia-based consulting and advisory firm with over 15 years of experience, partnering with governments, development partners, and the private sector to implement purpose-driven projects, design and deliver policies, strategies, and investment pathways grounded in local realities and aligned with global standards.

Our signature approach

We work across policy, sector economics, finance and implementation - in paralle - to address
the real conditions that determine whether change work in practice
.

This means we

01
Work on Foundation, not isolated solutions

We focus on the institutional, economic and human foundations that shape how systems function - including governance structures, incentives, coordination mechanisms and rules of the game.

02
Integrate human & institutional realities by design

Leadership, incentives, coordination and capabilities are treated as core operating conditions, not secondary considerations. They often determine whether solutions succeed or stall.

03
Design & execution through collective intelligence

We use collective intelligence as an execution tool - aligning public institutions, financial actors, businesses and practitioners around shared priorities, trade-offs and implementable decisions.

04
Stay close to delivery

We remain engaged through implementation to manage risks, adapt solutions to reality and ensure strategies and financing translate into tangible results.

How this translates
in practice
