What we do
Bridging Policy, Practice, and Community Safeguards
SIMAK operates at the intersection of governance, development, and social sustainability. We standardise how public and private investments impact human lives, ensuring that economic growth never comes at the cost of social well-being, community resilience, or human rights.
Core Functional Mandate
Regulatory & Policy Advocacy
We work hand-in-hand with government bodies to spearhead and implement the Social Risks and Impacts Management (SRIM) Policy across national and county levels, closing existing legal and regulatory gaps.
Professional Certification & Standards
We register, accredit, and regulate Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and Social Risk Management practitioners in Kenya, enforcing a strict code of ethics and professional conduct.
Technical Capacity Building
We design and deliver continuous professional development (CPD) programs, technical toolkits, and baseline guidelines to equip institutions and practitioners with world-class safeguard methodologies.
Public Participation & Oversight
We establish standardized frameworks for profound stakeholder engagement, ensuring vulnerable and marginalized communities have a voice in development projects that affect their livelihoods.
Social Risk & Impact Assessments (SIA)
We oversee the systematic investigation, monitoring, and analysis of how major infrastructure, agricultural, and industrial projects alter the lives of local populations. Our frameworks help developers identify potential disruptions early, transforming social risks into opportunities for community growth.
Institutional Advisory & Safeguards
We consult for government ministries, private sector investors, and international development partners to build robust social safeguard mechanisms into their project cycles. This ensures compliance with both Kenyan laws and international best practices (such as World Bank and IFC environmental and social standards).
Monitoring, Evaluation, Research & Learning (MERL)
We don't just plan; we track. SIMAK champions data-driven oversight through rigorous MERL frameworks, tracking the long-term social value generated by investments and ensuring accountability from project duty-bearers.
