Five Phase Change Model

Anchored in our five-phase change model, our interventions are human-centred, market-aligned, and designed for scale.

We work at the intersection of inclusion, systems design, and market transformation, using a tested model to develop and scale inclusive market systems across global sectors.

Analyze

We study! We stress-test ideas to ensure alignment to local contexts and systemic barriers

Deliver

We act! We mobilize resources, deploy our local expert consultants and grassroots partners, and employ participatory approaches to create impact

Shift

We tell stories! We generate engaging content that amplifies local voices, and demonstrates evidence of impact.

“Despite 25 years of work, we struggled to tell our story to our audience. With Footbridge, our work has become more systemic and locally-led; and our donor interactions more confident and impactful”
