ABOUT AKIJUL

Akijul comes from the Ateso word “akijulakin” meaning to change.

Our name is emblematic of our mission: supporting processes that foster organizational growth and effectiveness, with the ultimate goal of advancing social justice in Africa and globally. We believe that strong institutions are the backbone of social transformation, and our work is dedicated to building organizational infrastructure that can sustainably drive progressive change.

We are a mission- driven consulting firm dedicated to transforming organizational capabilities through strategy and programmatic design, strengthening governance, and institutional culture. Our team brings expertise in change management, strategic planning, impact measurement, leadership coaching, and support.

Our work spans key domains including digital rights, socio-economic development, gender equality, climate justice, Indigenous Peoples’ rights, and civil and political rights. Partnering with global and regional networks, philanthropies, international development agencies, NGOs, social enterprises, and community-based organizations.

Our approach goes beyond traditional consulting by providing nuanced, context-sensitive interventions that recognize the unique challenges of social justice organizations. We understand that meaningful change requires more than surface-level recommendations—it demands a holistic understanding of institutional ecosystems, power dynamics, and transformative potential. Each engagement is therefore carefully crafted to enhance organizational effectiveness, accountability, and responsiveness.
