About Linnet
We work where policy, money, people and stories meet.
Linnet Consulting is a Cairo-based firm for development agencies, governments, foundations and companies across Egypt, the Gulf, Africa and Europe.
Why we exist
Too many strategies never see the light. They are signed, filed and forgotten because no one owned the next step, no one found the money, or no one told the story. We stay for all of it.

Our name
The linnet is a small finch, quick on its feet and known for its song.
We like what that says about how we work: a small senior team that moves fast, sees the ground clearly, and makes sure the work is heard.
What makes us different
Four things we tend to do
- 01
Dynamic reports
Every recommendation comes with an owner, a budget and a first step.
- 02
No one-size-fits-all
No standardised templates. We start from your context.
- 03
We help fund strategies
We find the partners and the funding to make the plan real.
- 04
Impact oriented
Impact nobody hears about doesn’t win the next round.
