Our Works

Here lies sectors we have worked on in the past

Kolibri Strategy

Urban Water, Sanitation & Waste Systems​

Urban Water, Sanitation & Waste Systems​
Clean Water and SanitationSustainable Cities and CommunitiesResponsible Consumption and Production
What We Did
Kolibri works at the intersection of policy, finance, and innovation to enable more integrated and future-ready urban services.​

We support national and regional stakeholders in aligning water, sanitation, and solid waste management with long-term development goals. Our contributions span institutional diagnostics, financing strategies, regulatory reform, and investment planning, shaping transformation pathways that prioritize both system resilience and service equity.​

Beyond strategy, we bring operational depth, applying our expertise in behavior change, blended finance, and digital solutions to accelerate implementation. From advisory on circular economy funding models to the development of decision-support tools and public engagement frameworks, we help partners move from ambition to execution.​

We also contribute to global learning, advising initiatives focused on strengthening waste systems across cities and small island communities.

Impact Driven

Our work has helped governments and funding partners move from fragmented efforts to integrated, climate-resilient solutions, positioning basic services as a foundation for inclusive urban development.​

Green Housing & Infrastructure​

Green Housing & Infrastructure​
Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSustainable Cities and CommunitiesClimate Action
What We Did
Kolibri is advancing the conversation on what it means to build sustainably, without leaving communities behind.​

We conducted regionally grounded research exploring the intersection of green building policies, affordability, and spatial equity. By unpacking how national regulations, like energy codes and housing standards, play out in real-world development, we provided evidence to inform smarter, fairer implementation.

Our work supports the shift toward inclusive, low-carbon housing by identifying policy and financing pathways that balance climate goals with access and equity.

Impact Driven

We helped shape the next generation of green infrastructure, designed not just for emissions targets, but for people and cities that need it most.​​

Renewable Energy & Just Transition​

Renewable Energy & Just Transition​
Affordable and Clean EnergyResponsible Consumption and ProductionClimate Action
What We Did
Kolibri is helping ensure the transition to clean energy is not only fast, but fair, responsible, and regionally grounded.​

We conducted environmental and social impact assessments across key stages of the renewable energy supply chain, from mineral extraction to End-of-Life. Our work identified ESG risks, regulatory gaps, and social vulnerabilities, offering clear recommendations to align investment with international standards and local realities.​

By bridging field insights with policy and capital, we support partners in making the clean energy transition more inclusive, accountable, and future-proof.

Impact Driven

We help shape a just energy future, where decarbonisation efforts uphold environmental integrity and protect communities across the value chain.​​

Circular Economy, Marine Pollution, Small-Island Systems​

What We Did
Kolibri supported a multi-country initiative across the Coral Triangle to strengthen plastic pollution management in small island contexts.

We delivered the first comprehensive diagnostic of small-island waste systems in the region, mapping structural bottlenecks, behavioural drivers, and local governance dynamics. Our team developed replicability frameworks and stakeholder maps to guide policymakers, development partners, and island communities in scaling solutions that are context-smart and operationally viable.​

By connecting community realities with regional policy pathways, the work helps chart a more integrated, evidence-based approach to reducing marine plastic leakage across island ecosystems.​

Impact Driven

We helped shape systems-level change in marine waste governance, supporting regional actors to design more resilient, scalable, and data-informed solutions for small islands and coastal communities.​​

Kolibri Capital

Sustainable Financing for Educational Program​

Quality EducationReduced InequalitiesPartnerships for the Goals
What We Did
Kolibri is building the financial backbone for financial education, making scale not just possible, but sustainable.​

We supported a global foundation in strengthening the long-term viability of a multi-country financial literacy program across Southeast Asia. Our work went beyond content or delivery, we developed cost forecasts, standardized budgeting tools, and co-funding scenarios to help the program grow responsibly and consistently across diverse markets.​

From financial modelling to funding gap analysis, we created the tools and structures needed to move from donor-led pilots to system-embedded solutions.​

Impact Driven

We helped enable a shift from short-term delivery to long-term investment, ensuring financial literacy can reach more children, with stronger foundations and clearer pathways to scale.​

Circular Economy, Waste Management, ESG Systems, Portfolio Governance​

Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesResponsible Consumption and ProductionPartnerships for the Goals
What We Did
Kolibri supported a multi-country circular economy portfolio by strengthening how environmental and social performance is integrated, monitored, and managed across diverse implementation partners.​

We built portfolio-level ESG and reporting systems that help track sustainability outcomes, risks, and program effectiveness in a more consistent and comparable way. This included harmonizing assessment tools, reporting flows, and performance indicators, enabling partners working in waste management, materials recovery, and community-based initiatives to speak the same “impact language.”​

By creating a shared structure and methodology, the work improved cross-partner alignment and helped ensure that circular economy interventions are both responsible and scalable.

Impact Driven

We helped accelerate the transition toward a circular economy by enabling clearer ESG accountability, stronger coordination, and data-driven decision-making across implementing partners.​

Kolibri Insight

Waste Management, Circular Economy, ESG Digital Systems​

Industry, Innovation and InfrastructureSustainable Cities and CommunitiesResponsible Consumption and Production
What We Did
  • Enhanced ESG and impact visibility by digitizing portfolio monitoring, making partner sustainability performance easier to track, compare, and act on​

  • Improved data quality and consistency through standardized tabular submission fields that reduce reporting errors and increase comparability across partners​

  • Strengthened governance and accountability with a structured role-based review workflow that reinforces ESG compliance and quality assurance​

  • Enabled portfolio-wide insights through prototype regional and market dashboards, supporting more evidence-informed decisions in circularity and waste system interventions​

Impact Driven

We helped enable stronger ESG accountability and accelerating circular solutions, by ensuring data across partners becomes comparable, verifiable, and decision-ready.
