Follow-up
A project gets unblocked at the table, but it holds through follow-up.
Why it matters
An agreement without follow-up weakens over time: counterparts change, deadlines pile up and commitments lose strength. Follow-up protects what was agreed and keeps a resolved conflict from stopping the project again.
How it works
Through a precise record of commitments, deadlines and owners; through presence on the ground; and through ongoing dialogue with landowners, communities and authorities, until every commitment is fulfilled.
Who it is for
For concessionaires, builders, developers and investors who need certainty about the agreements that hold their project together, and for the legal and social management teams accountable for them.
