Someone will build the network your country needs. It should be you.
One person in each country builds the trusted practitioner network their country needs. The network is theirs, not Kofa’s: you bring the country, the trust, and the relationships — Kofa brings the platform, the verification standards, the client demand, and the brand.
One appointment per country — by invitation and introduction only
The network is yours. We help you structure it. We partner with it.
When an organisation needs practitioners in your country, the engagement routes through your network, on Kofa’s platform. The network is the asset you own. The platform is how the partnership runs.
What you own
The coordinators, the practitioners, the relationships — they are yours. You decide how the network is built in your country, and it stays yours.
- The coordinator network — yours to build, yours to hold
- The relationships — coordinators, practitioners, institutions
- The decisions — recruitment channels, fee tables, priorities
- The name — the person who built it, on record
What we bring
We don’t build the network for you — that is what fails everywhere else. We give it the structure, standards, and demand that make it work.
- The platform — briefs, prep room, sessions, decision assets
- The structure — coordinator tiers, verification, quality rules
- The demand — organisations that need practitioner intelligence
- The brand — Kofa’s reputation behind your country’s network
The demand is here. The infrastructure is not built yet.
DFIs, impact investors, NGOs, and research organisations are putting more capital into African markets than ever. All of them need ground-level intelligence they cannot get from a desk.
Every dollar needs market intelligence to deploy responsibly. Almost none of it reaches the people who hold that intelligence.
Organisations built extraordinary systems for collecting information. Nobody built a reliable way to move the judgement that makes it useful.
The person who builds this network in their country first builds something that compounds for a decade. That window opens once.
Practitioners across Africa — loan officers, cooperative leaders, health workers — hold the ground truth organisations need, and most have watched it extracted without credit. The network you build reverses that, in your country.
Four things most roles never give you.
Building trusted infrastructure takes patience and long-term thinking. In return, the partnership offers four things almost no other opportunity can match.
Earnings that grow while you sleep
Every session delivered anywhere in your network pays an automatic override — whether or not you were involved. You earn on the network you built, not the hours you log.
You build it your way, in your country
The fee structure that works in Nigeria may not work in yours. You decide: fee tables, recruitment channels, market evaluations.
A credential built on something real
Reputation usually lives invisibly — in WhatsApp contacts and introductions. Being the person who built your country’s trusted network is a specific, verifiable credential.
Fix something you have felt personally
If you have worked in development or research, you have watched knowledge get extracted — practitioners consulted briefly, their experience repackaged. This is the reversal.
Picture your country two years from now.
Coordinators you developed run their regions independently. Practitioners verified through your network are being called by analysts in London and Geneva. Override income arrives automatically. Sixty interviews across three regions? Your network delivers in three weeks.
A Coordinator Network
Trusted people across your country who can identify practitioners no database could surface.
Regional Leaders
People who run their areas without depending on you — the leadership you leave behind.
A Verified Practitioner Network
Professionals whose experience has been independently confirmed, and can be cited.
The platform half of the partnership, made visible.
The same platform your coordinators and practitioners use — from where you sit.
Your network, on the platform.
Coordinators by tier, sessions routed through your network, overrides accruing automatically, and the quality evidence behind every record.
Regional and Local Coordinators, Ad Hoc contributors — every coordinator you brought in, with sourcing and verification acceptance over time.
Sessions this month, routed through your network on the Kofa platform — each one generating an automatic override to you.
Accruing automatically, quality-gated. Sessions that pass earn; sessions below threshold do not. No chasing, no invoicing.
Sourcing and verification acceptance across your country, network-health flags, and the monthly integrity report.
Your network earns. The platform carries it.
Every paid session anywhere in your country’s network generates an automatic override — paid in local currency and gated on quality, so the incentive points toward building well, not just fast.
Paid automatically on every session in your network that passes the quality gate.
Fees for defined work — onboarding a Regional, a quality audit, resolving a dispute.
When organisations commission 30–100 structured interviews across your country, you lead and manage the regional assignments.
The honest version: there is no income while you build. The people capable of this already have stability and think in years, not months. Once sessions flow, the override is automatic, uncapped, and quality-gated. There is no equity pool — what is real is the override, the escalation fees, and Field Intelligence fees, earned on work your network delivers.
Your country. Your network. Your call.
Kofa’s core model — tiers, verification, session structure, the product — is fixed. How that model is built locally is yours to define. We know the system. You know the country.
You set the fee structure for your country
Coordinator pay rates are proposed by you and reviewed with Kofa. What motivates a coordinator in Accra is different from Kigali. You know which number makes sense.
You define the recruitment channels
NGO alumni networks, cooperative federations, university departments, extension programmes — which channels are trusted is knowledge only you hold.
You evaluate what works and flag what doesn’t
If something doesn’t fit your market, you have the authority — and the responsibility — to flag it for redesign.
You build directly alongside the founders
This is not a franchise relationship. Country Partners work with Kofa’s founders, and what you learn on the ground informs how the platform evolves.
We hold the product, the client relationships, and the brand standards. You hold the network. And because there is one appointment per country, whoever builds it first is the person who built it — still true in ten years.
You already know who you are.
Most Founding Country Partners have spent years as the most connected person in the room — calls answered, introductions that carry weight. Most arrive by referral; exceptional people introduce themselves.
Trust already follows your name
People have watched you keep your word for years — a reputation months cannot manufacture.
You develop people, not just manage them
You have made others more capable and independent, and know the difference between leading and doing.
You exercise judgement under uncertainty
When there is no written rule, you make the right call anyway — even when it costs you.
You already have stability
You are not looking for immediate income, so you can invest in something that compounds over years.
You need income immediately, prefer executing work over building systems, or are still developing the trusted relationships this partnership depends on.
One conversation to start.
No long application, no committee, no automated scoring. Every partnership begins the same way — a conversation with a Kofa founder.
You introduce yourself
Who you are, where you work, what draws you here. Three or four sentences — not a CV.
We talk
If your background aligns, a Kofa founder reaches out directly. We share what this requires; you share what you are building.
We decide together
Appointment happens only when both sides are certain. You receive the full partner guide and 90-day build plan before anything is signed.
The questions you should be asking.
The five questions every serious candidate brings to the first conversation, and the honest answers.
Is there any income during the build phase?
No. Your first 90 days and beyond are about building the coordinator network. Income starts when paid client engagements flow in your country.
What exactly do I earn and when?
An automatic override on every session in your network that passes the quality gate, paid in local currency. Plus escalation fees for defined work and Field Intelligence fees on delivery.
How much time does this require?
Most begin while continuing existing work. The build phase is intensive but focused; as the network matures, your role shifts to stewardship and quality oversight.
Why only one person per country?
Because accountability needs clarity. One person builds, protects, and develops the country’s network. Divided accountability is no accountability.
Can I lose the role?
Only if the partnership’s standards stop being met — after direct conversations, clear expectations, and a real chance to improve.
