We help global partners translate complex development challenges into structured and scalable solutions.
about us
Sintesi is a strategy and implementation firm operating at the intersection of development, finance, and technology. We partner with reforming governments, DFIs, donors, and city leaders to turn complexity into clarity, and vision into scalable impact.

Our approach

(Expansive Design for Public Impact)

Complex systems don’t respond to linear solutions.

Expansive Design is our proprietary methodology that blends systems thinking, agile execution, and stakeholder-centered strategy.

At the core of our method is the REACH™ Framework, a practical process to unlock clarity, alignment, and movement with speed.

Reframe Challenges

Shift perspectives to uncover root causes and hidden opportunities. By redefining problems, we unlock creative pathways and foster solutions that address deeper systemic issues, not just surface-level symptoms.

Empower Stakeholders

Build trust and ownership by including diverse voices early and often. Empowered stakeholders drive momentum, offer grounded insights, and become champions of change throughout the design process.

Activate Solutions

Translate strategy into action through rapid iterations and tangible prototypes. Activating solutions means moving beyond talk—testing ideas in real-world contexts and refining them with agility and precision.

Compound Impact

Layer efforts to multiply results over time. Rather than chasing isolated wins, we design systems that build on each success, generating momentum that compounds across people, policies, and platforms.

Harmonize Systems

Connect dots across sectors, tools, and teams. Harmonizing systems strengthens resilience and scale by aligning incentives, integrating workflows, and embedding solutions into broader institutional frameworks.
