Territorial Development Operator
The funding exists. Programmes that reach the end, far less so.
ODT designs, structures and steers territorial programmes in Central Africa. We start from the difficulty you have to resolve, we measure what it costs, and we stay until it is lifted. The engineering is delivered by XP-NOVA, Consulting Engineering Firm.
As at 30 June 2026, the 21 World Bank-funded projects in Cameroon showed an overall disbursement rate of 18.7%. The causes cited: public procurement, land tenure, resettlement of affected people, contracting capacity.

The finding, to scale
The four causes cited occur before disbursement, not after
Three of those causes have a situation covered here
11 situations
Which one is yours?
Each is worded the way our counterparts put it to us. Click the one that looks like your case.
Proving that our supply chain complies with the EUDR
“Our exports to Europe stop if we cannot prove anything, and the deadline is fixed.”
The best-documented problem on this marketUnblocking a funded project that is not moving
“The money is there, the agreements are signed, and still nothing is being built.”
Knowing whether this territory is worth the investment
“We have an intention and an area. We have no certainty.”
Making a project bankable
“Our file comes back from the credit committee with technical reservations we do not know how to clear.”
Proving to a third party what actually exists on the ground
“Results are reported to us. We need to verify them without depending on whoever reports them.”
Reporting to our funders with evidence
“Our financial partners want located, dated results. We produce narrative reports.”
Knowing and securing the land in our territory
“We do not know precisely who occupies what, or on what basis.”
Six roadmaps adopted in February 2026Monetising our carbon and anticipating climate change
“We are told our forest is worth credits. We do not know how to prove it to the required standards.”
Taking back control of our own data
“We depend on an outside provider to read our own data, and the platform dies when the project ends.”
Getting works built to specification, and paying for what was actually done
“Our fear is not a shortage of contractors. It is paying for what has not been done.”
Making our municipal development plan fundable
“We have a development plan. It is dormant, because none of its projects is fundable as it stands.”

Works contractors and delegated contracting authorities

“I carry the execution risk on studies I did not produce.”
What binds us
Three rules we apply without exception
No figure without its source and its date
Every figure published on this site carries its origin and its date. A figure whose source cannot be traced has no place in an investment decision.
No reference without the capacity we acted in
We always state the capacity in which we worked on every assignment cited. We never present as ours a result that is not.
We never verify what we structured ourselves
Independent verification only has value if the verifier has nothing to defend. See what we refuse to do.
