Standing with those who carry today's transitions.

Ministries, businesses and funders call on us before they commit, across energy, water, agriculture, waste and finance. We test whether a project, policy or programme adds up, whether institutions can carry it and whether people will take it on.

How we work

Engaged in transitions, practical in every decision

For fifteen years we have worked on transitions in Cambodia, Southeast Asia and other developing countries: energy, water, agriculture, waste, finance. We start from the ground, and we connect the economics of a project, the institutions that must carry it, the people who will make it work and those it is meant to serve.

EngagedWe have chosen to work only on transitions, and we apply what we recommend to ourselves.
PragmaticOur recommendations come with who does what, with which means, in what order.
GroundedWe collect data in the field, including from informal workers, farmers and users, whose knowledge is often missing from decisions.
ConnectedBecause we work across sectors, we see where the issues meet.
Three questions we ask of every decision. Economics: does it add up, here, for those who pay? Institutions: can the organisations in charge carry it? People: does it truly serve those it is meant for, and will those who must make it work take it on?
Examples of our work

No project is ever about one topic

Whether a clean energy project works depends on who can finance it, who can use it and who stands to benefit. In agriculture, access to water, energy and credit shapes what farmers can grow and how they adapt to a changing climate.

Municipal waste at a disposal site
Featured project

Could sorting, recycling and composting work across four cities?

A waste collection company needed to know what its waste contained and whether buyers would pay for compost and recyclables. Sevea led a consortium that characterised waste at disposal sites, worked with informal waste pickers, assessed demand and regulation, and built business models for four facilities.

What our clients say
“The team's deep understanding of the sector and their ability to communicate it effectively impressed us. Rather than simply presenting the content, they engaged participants at their level of understanding, which clearly demonstrated a high level of expertise. The process was not only insightful but also highly practical, leading to meaningful outcomes for our project.
Education Specialist, international organisation
“The strategic planning and project management were fully aligned with our expectations. The tools and frameworks shared during the process have been instrumental in guiding our implementation.
Sustainable Supply Chain Advisor, international development agency
“Not only can Sevea provide the Cambodian landscape on climate, environment and energy, but also very strong subject-matter knowledge. The organisation's culture shows a consulting service dedicated to good quality work and passionate about improving the issues.
