Afghan transformation work needs strategy + execution from one partner.

Most Afghan transformation engagements involve international advisors (Big 4 partners flown in for short stints) handing off to local SIs for execution. The handoff is where programs slip, strategy gets translated incorrectly, scope creeps, schedules slip, and donor reporting suffers. NETLINKS' model is opposite: senior advisors who also lead execution. Same firm, same partners, same accountability.

Our marquee Afghan transformation program: the 500,000-employee national-government Odoo HR and payroll rollout. Multi-year, multi-workstream, multi-stakeholder. The audit-trail discipline, donor-reporting frameworks, and program-management methodology developed there transfer directly to subsequent transformation work.

Pricing: discovery $30-100K, multi-year execution $300K-$10M+, managed services 15-25% of build cost annually. ISO 12207 + ISO 27001 group-level certifications.

, Questions

Afghan digital transformation, questions we hear.

How is this different from Big 4 transformation work in Afghanistan?
Big 4 sells strategy; we sell strategy and execution under one contract. Big 4 advisors fly in for 2-3 week sprints; our senior advisors are based in Kabul, available throughout multi-year programs. Lower cost, grounded in Afghan operational realities, no strategy-to-execution gap.
Can you team with Big 4 advisors?
Yes, common pattern. Big 4 brings advisory + board reporting; NETLINKS brings Afghan delivery. We've worked alongside Deloitte, EY, KPMG, PwC on Afghan engagements.
What size programs do you handle?
Largest single program: 500K-employee national-government Odoo rollout. Mid-scale: 1,000-50,000 user platforms. We've structured Afghan programs from $300K to $20M+.
