Who we are

The people behind the work.

M&E Company is a nature and climate development advisory and technical assistance firm, founded in 2022 in Yaoundé, Cameroon. We work with governments, donors, funds, businesses and communities to design, finance and evaluate programmes that deliver measurable, lasting results.

Our story

Built on a decade of work in the Congo Basin.

M&E Company was founded in 2022, after more than a decade of work on forests, commodity value chains, climate change and financing across the Congo Basin.

Over those years the same gap kept appearing. Countries had set ambitious climate commitments in their NDCs, and funds existed to support them, yet the two rarely met. What stood between them was bankable projects: well-designed initiatives with a clear business case, credible safeguards and a risk profile that financiers can back.

The gap was widest closest to the ground. Only a small fraction of the climate finance intended for smallholders ever reaches them, and commodity value chains were being asked to meet new sustainability demands without the technical support to do so.

M&E Company was set up to close that gap: turning climate and nature commitments into projects that can be financed and delivered, and designing them so the benefits reach the people who protect forests and grow the commodities.
