Agenda 74 Organisation

Systems and Tools

Care to Change the World

System & Tools — The Architecture of Execution

While ideals define the “why” of A74, it is the System & Tools framework that defines the “how.”
This is the operational core — a deliberate assembly of technology, structure, and strategic actors — that transforms missions from aspirational vision into measurable, monitored action.

These tools are not decorative. They are structural, institutional, and often contractual. They ensure every intervention is traceable, transparent, and transferable.

ECHO — A74’s Operating System

At the center lies ECHO, the digital operations platform leased and managed via GSIA.
ECHO is a comprehensive, modular framework that governs:

Project implementation pipelines
Partner onboarding and compliance integration
Real-time reporting and verification systems
Financial traceability and audit-ready operations

Whether in health, education, or trade, ECHO serves as the digital twin of each mission — reflecting not only what is planned, but what is actually happening on the ground.

FlexSus — Our Control and Predictive System

To make informed decisions, A74 employs FlexSus, a next-generation monitoring and decision support system originally co-developed with Linköping University and the Technical University of Denmark.

FlexSus functions as both observatory and control tower, offering:

Zone-based precision monitoring
Predictive alerts for deviation and risk
Integration with INFF frameworks for sustainable finance alignment
Transparent dashboards for donors, states, and implementing actors

In short, FlexSus is the command layer that enables adaptive governance — without losing grip on accountability.

INFF & De-risking

A74 embeds Integrated National Financing Frameworks (INFF) across all eligible national missions.
This tool, promoted by UN agencies and the African Development Bank, allows countries to:

Align investment and funding strategies with development goals
Coordinate donor flows and private capital under one transparent framework
Show funders how money flows and why risk is minimized

For A74, INFF is not just a recommendation — it is a precondition for scalable investment and sovereign ownership.

Trade, Compliance & Subcontracting

Implementation partners are not passive recipients — they are part of a structured delivery ecosystem.
A74, via GSIA, supports:

Trade facilitation with priority to intra-African and EU-Africa exchange
Regulatory compliance layers, including ESG, social procurement, and financial disclosure
Subcontractor ecosystems, where local businesses are integrated into the supply chain through onboarding, training, and oversight

By embedding accountability into each layer, the system itself becomes a mechanism of empowerment and control.

A System Built for Mission Integrity

From ECHO’s governance protocols to FlexSus’s data granularity, from INFF’s financial structuring to the subcontractor registry — the entire system is designed to answer one question:

Can this mission deliver what it promises, at scale, with integrity?

The tools are not add-ons. They are foundations. They allow A74 to act globally, coordinate locally, and report publicly — without sacrificing speed, ambition, or ethics.
