Who we are

A multidisciplinary advisory practice at the intersection of law, policy, governance, economics and real-world implementation.

The disconnect between private sector players, the general public and public institutions remains a challenge for any government. Filling that gap has never been more critical. For this reason, a team of experts, both ex-public sector servants of long standing and private expertise, joined hands to found Sanetti with a mission to close a gap we kept seeing across governments and institutions: well-intentioned laws, policies and strategies that never quite translated into practice. We built a practice at the intersection of law, governance, economics and institutional design – focused on solutions that can withstand politics, budget cycles and implementation realities.

We work with national and county governments, independent commissions, regulators, parliaments, development partners and private sector organisations. Our assignments range from regulatory design, legislative drafting and stakeholder engagement to PPP policy, institutional reform, research, evaluation and capacity building.

Whether you are shaping a new regulation, designing a PPP framework, strengthening public participation or aligning stakeholders around a complex landscape program, we bring clarity, structure and disciplined follow-through.

How we create value

Our work is designed to help leaders make better decisions, build stronger institutions and leave lasting capacity behind.

Clarity in complex spaces
We help executives, policymakers and technical teams navigate complex mandates – blending law, policy, institutional dynamics and data into clear options and structured decisions.
Stronger, more resilient institutions
We align frameworks, processes, people and incentives so that institutions can enforce, coordinate and deliver – not just comply on paper.
Capability that outlives the assignment
Through training, coaching, tools and co-creation, we ensure our work leaves your teams stronger, more confident and better equipped to sustain change.

How we work

The Sanetti method combines insight, collaboration and disciplined execution support to deliver lasting change.

We don’t just write reports. We help structure decisions, align stakeholders and support implementation – so that frameworks, policies and strategies translate into tangible results.
01 · Insight-driven
Evidence at the core
We blend legal analysis, policy review, stakeholder input, data and political economy insight to build a 360-degree picture of the problem and opportunity.
02 · Human-centric
Institutions & incentives
We design for the real world – factoring in institutional culture, capacity, incentives, risks and constraints so our solutions can stick.
03 · Collaborative
Co-created with you
We work alongside client teams, stakeholders and partners to build ownership, legitimacy and implementability into every output.
04 · Execution-oriented
From paper to practice
We support the transition from design to roll-out, including implementation planning, change management, training and monitoring & evaluation.

Our journey

From parliamentary support and governance advisory to complex regulatory and landscape-level programs.

Phase 1
Grounded in governance & assemblies
Early work focused on legislative drafting, committee support and governance advisory for parliaments and county assemblies – building a deep understanding of institutional processes and constraints.
Phase 2
Expanding into PPPs & regulatory design
As mandates evolved, so did our portfolio – into PPP policy and frameworks, data protection and sector-specific regulation, and institutional reform for counties and national entities.
Today
Complex, multi-stakeholder programs
We now support cross-border data regimes, public participation and civic engagement strategies, security and compliance frameworks, and integrated landscape programs with multiple counties and partners.

Our leadership philosophy

We believe in leadership that is principled, accountable and evidence-driven. Our work often sits at the intersection of politics, law, economics and citizen expectations. This demands judgement, discretion and a deep respect for public value.

Our team includes lawyers, governance and policy experts, economists, researchers and communication specialists who have worked within and alongside public institutions. We understand both the constraints facing decision-makers and the opportunities for reform.

On every mandate, we aim to be a trusted partner: honest in our assessments, creative in our problem-solving and disciplined in our execution support.
