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+.
