/ Who we are
Kerbino Group is headquartered in Nairobi, with operations across East Africa and South Sudan. Founded by Kerbino Yel Deng — a Doctor of Business Administration candidate at the Chandaria School of Business, USIU-Africa — we deliver transformative results for public institutions, private organisations, and development partners.
"Strategy without leadership is a plan without a driver — and leadership without strategy is ambition without direction. Kerbino Group delivers both simultaneously."
/ What we do
Each grounded in evidence-based methodology and tailored to the context, capacity, and objectives of every client. Engage one — or all.
Strategic frameworks and institutional systems that perform, adapt, and deliver — at scale and under pressure.
DBA-level expertise in crisis leadership for fragile and conflict-affected settings — validated through original South Sudan research.
One-to-one and cohort programmes that build leaders capable of delivering with integrity in complexity.
Governance diagnostics, accountability frameworks, oversight capacity, and public financial management advisory.
Empirically grounded research, institutional evaluations, and policy briefs for governments, multilaterals, and NGOs.
Custom workshops and training programmes that build internal capacity rather than create consultant dependency.
/ Why Kerbino Group
I
DBA-level expertise in crisis leadership, governance, and strategic management — grounded in peer-reviewed research on public institutions in fragile settings.
II
Direct, on-the-ground experience of governance realities in South Sudan and East Africa. We do not apply generic frameworks to complex local environments.
III
Scholarly rigour combined with hands-on implementation across public sector, civil society, and development-partner contexts.
IV
All recommendations grounded in empirical evidence, validated frameworks, and measurable outcome indicators — not opinion or convention.
V
We invest in sustained client relationships, building internal capacity rather than creating dependency on external consultants.
Who we serve
/ In their words
"Kerbino Group helped us name the problem we already knew we had, and gave us a 90-day plan we could actually execute. Six months later, our leadership team is making decisions on a rhythm rather than in reaction."
"The combination of academic rigour and on-the-ground knowledge of how our institutions actually work is rare. We have used three consultancies on similar mandates — Kerbino Group is the one whose recommendations we still refer back to."
"Kerbino's framework on crisis leadership isn't theoretical. It's the language my senior team now uses with each other in difficult weeks."
