Foundation

APLIS & NPMTI

From global cooperation to national delivery

GSTLW convenes globally. APLIS Africa Foundation coordinates continentally. NPMTI executes nationally. The ladder is deliberate: nothing agreed at the Global Week is left without an institution responsible for delivering it.

APLIS

APLIS Africa Foundation

APLIS Africa Foundation is a non-governmental organisation and the continental institutional implementation partner of the ecosystem. It holds continental programme ownership, public-sector transformation work and the regional coordination of APLIS Forums.

Regional forums

Convening nodes across CEMAC, ECOWAS, East, Southern and North Africa.

Seat of Honour

Hosts the rotating regional seat within the Global Week.

Continental synthesis

Produces the Africa Project Delivery Report from national reporting.

Public-sector transformation

Works directly with ministries and delivery units.

NPMTI

National Project Maturity & Transformation Initiative

NPMTI is an APLIS implementation programme — a maturity methodology, government engagement model, assessment instrument and reporting mechanism. It is never a separate brand, entity or event.

Baseline national project maturity assessment with the government delivery institution.
Capability development for delivery units, project leaders and oversight bodies.
Annual State of National Project Delivery Report, published by the country.
Feeds the Country Project Leadership Index (CPLI) and the continental report.

Four-entity mandate model

Power Up Futures Foundation (PUFF-USA)
Power Up Futures Foundation (PUFF-USA) is the U.S.-incorporated, IRS-recognised Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation providing governance, philanthropy and public-benefit oversight for the ecosystem.

GSTLW
Global convening, partnerships, policy, research and publisher of record; institutional home of Skills and Talent Diplomacy.

APLIS Africa Foundation (NGO)
Continental institutional implementation partner: continental programme ownership, public-sector transformation and regional coordination of APLIS Forums.

NPMTI — National Project Maturity & Transformation Initiative
Country-level execution framework (maturity methodology, government engagement model, assessment and reporting mechanism). Never a separate brand, entity or event.

Fund governance: the Global Skills Endowment Fund is governed under PUFF-USA (public benefit). The Global Skills Enterprise Fund is governed through PCA Group or an appropriately authorised investment vehicle — never through the Secretariat. Accelera 1000 is a platform brand only; contracts issue through approved legal entities. Commercial services are delivered separately through approved ecosystem partners (Paraklete Institute / PCA Group). All references to UN and multilateral participation are aspirational and subject to those institutions' own priorities and approval processes.

GSTLW is the institutional home of Skills and Talent Diplomacy. GSLI supplies the evidence, the GSEF Twin Funds align capital, the Global Week creates the compacts, APLIS coordinates regional implementation, and NPMTI translates cooperation into national project maturity and transformation.
