Flywheel Economics offers specialised consulting services to support international development programmes in achieving optimal aid effectiveness and demonstrating robust Value for Money (VFM). Our approach is rooted in our core philosophy, which views economic development initiatives as vibrant ecosystems requiring careful nurturing—just as a gardener tends their garden—to produce lasting, fruitful outcomes.

We provide comprehensive support through:

• Value for Money (VFM) Assessments: Thorough analysis to clearly demonstrate the economic, social, and environmental benefits delivered by programmes.
• Value for Money (VFM) Frameworks: Tailored frameworks that enable programmes to consistently measure, monitor, and report their value and impact effectively.
• Evaluations: Rigorous evaluations to identify successes, challenges, and actionable recommendations for enhancing programme effectiveness and impact.
• Economic Appraisals: Detailed appraisals that assess programme options and investments, guiding informed and strategic decision-making.

Our thriving Value for Money (VFM) practice goes beyond traditional cost-effectiveness analyses. We help programmes clearly articulate their impact, enhance accountability, and continuously identify areas to improve the value delivered. By applying Flywheel Economics principles, we nurture international development programmes, fostering conditions under which they can sustainably grow, adapt, and flourish, delivering maximum benefits to communities around the globe.

Our approach embodies the ecological insights at the heart of Flywheel Economics—small, mindful actions that build sustained momentum, ultimately cultivating programmes that deliver greater value and resilience over time.
