What We Do

GroundTruth is an African-based, multidisciplinary consultancy company  specialising in integrated agri-solutions, water, environmental engineering, and natural resource management. We have a well-established, award-winning track record and a depth of work experience throughout Africa, providing tailor-made and fit-for-purpose solutions and services to multiple clients and sectors across six practice areas (PAs). We bring bespoke solutions to African problems. We are not only pioneering in the work we do, but also in growing human capacity wherever we work. We work collaboratively to deliver services and implement local, appropriate, and world class solutions.

Our work covers in great depth, both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and we collaborate with local and international role players (from mining companies to developers to governmental agencies) to ensure we shape outcomes through integrated technical delivery and local implementation to provide measurable results.

Further to this, we operate across 6 key practice areas, namely: 1) integrated agri-systems and solutions, 2) natural resource management and biodiversity, 3) spatial services and solutions, 4) water resources, 5) advisory services, and 6) climate and sustainability solutions. This means we comprehensively cover everything from river health and water assessment quality to wetland delineation, conservation and restoration, GIS and  biophysical spatial planning, hydrological assessments, advanced freshwater ecosystem modelling, spill management and much more. Our practice areas are all provided in further detail below, so please take the time to explore. If however you do not see the specific service you are looking for, we invite you to reach out as we would love to discuss your project with you.

Our specialists at GroundTruth work synergistically, specializing in connecting our services and collaborating both locally and internationally. We are always ready for a challenge or open to innovation and fresh ideas.
