Project & Programme screening
Screen investments, projects, and multi-year programmes against environmental, social, and governance standards. Aligned to IFC Performance Standards, ESRS, and custom policy overlays.
Structured screening for every counterparty, project, and proposal.
Configurable criteria, document review, and AI-assisted findings, built for the speed and rigour that development finance and compliance teams need.
How it works
Screening runs as one connected sequence, from the criteria you set to the report you export. One auditable record.
Configure criteria
Define your screening criteria once, then apply them consistently across every counterparty, project, or application.
Build weighted criteria sets aligned to IFC PS, ESRS, EUDR, or your own policy.
Collect & review documents
Request, receive, and review documents in a structured workflow.
Automated checks surface gaps and evidence against every active criterion for your confirmation.
Record structured findings
Every screening produces a findings record: flagged items, evidence links, reviewer notes, and an overall status.
A weighted result, module breakdown, and a clean, exportable record for every screening.
Export reports & track your portfolio
Generate a clean report for any screening, and track every counterparty, project, and proposal in a single portfolio: progress, flags, and outcomes at a glance.
Prefer a hands-on look?
The interactive sandbox is access-controlled to protect client confidentiality and IP. We'll set up a private instance for qualified organisations.
Configured for your context
The same platform handles three distinct screening types. Each applies the right criteria, document set, and findings structure for the subject.
Application & Proposal review
Assess funding applications and proposals submitted for review. Structured criteria scoring replaces ad hoc judgment.
Supplier & Partner due diligence
Run systematic due diligence on vendors, counterparts, and implementing partners. Sanctions checks, document review, and policy alignment, all in one record.

“It was great working with Sustainable Africa on a bespoke sustainability assessment for a competition we ran for coffee MSMEs in Kenya. It provided exactly the clarity and insight we needed to evaluate enterprise performance.”
Tally EinavHead of Office & Representative, UNIDO: Kenya, Comoros, Eritrea, Seychelles & South Sudan “Sustainable Africa has quickly become an important convener in the region, creating spaces where serious conversations about Kenya's food future can actually move into action.”

Why it matters
ESG and supply-chain due-diligence requirements expand every year, and every new counterparty, project, and proposal carries questions that must be asked, evidenced, and recorded consistently, at a pace manual review was never built to sustain.
Criteria drift between reviewers, documents go unverified, and the audit trail ends up scattered across inboxes. When a regulator, investor, or auditor asks how a decision was reached, the answer should take seconds, not days of reconstruction.
Frameworks like the IFC Performance Standards, ESRS, and EUDR demand systematic screening but provide no tools to carry it out. That gap is exactly where risk accumulates, and closing it, deliberately and auditably, is what this platform is built to do.
