/ Who we are

A consultancy built for complex environments.

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

Six service lines. One integrated practice.

Each grounded in evidence-based methodology and tailored to the context, capacity, and objectives of every client. Engage one — or all.

01

Strategic Planning & Institutional Development

Strategic frameworks and institutional systems that perform, adapt, and deliver — at scale and under pressure.

02

Crisis Leadership Advisory

DBA-level expertise in crisis leadership for fragile and conflict-affected settings — validated through original South Sudan research.

03

Executive Leadership Development

One-to-one and cohort programmes that build leaders capable of delivering with integrity in complexity.

04

Governance, Accountability & Public Sector Reform

Governance diagnostics, accountability frameworks, oversight capacity, and public financial management advisory.

05

Research, Policy Analysis & Advisory

Empirically grounded research, institutional evaluations, and policy briefs for governments, multilaterals, and NGOs.

06

Training, Facilitation & Workshop Design

Custom workshops and training programmes that build internal capacity rather than create consultant dependency.

Our competitive edge.

Academic Depth

DBA-level expertise in crisis leadership, governance, and strategic management — grounded in peer-reviewed research on public institutions in fragile settings.

II

Contextual Intelligence

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

Practitioner Edge

Scholarly rigour combined with hands-on implementation across public sector, civil society, and development-partner contexts.

IV

Evidence-Based

All recommendations grounded in empirical evidence, validated frameworks, and measurable outcome indicators — not opinion or convention.

V

Long-Term Partnership

We invest in sustained client relationships, building internal capacity rather than creating dependency on external consultants.

/ In their words

What clients tell us.

"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."
Permanent Secretary, line ministry · South Sudan
"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."
Country Director, regional INGO · Nairobi
"Kerbino's framework on crisis leadership isn't theoretical. It's the language my senior team now uses with each other in difficult weeks."
Director, oversight institution · East Africa
