About Humentum: practical solutions for social good

Humentum is a global, non-profit organisation partnering with social good organisations to unlock the strategic power of their operating models. It focuses on practical solutions to improve the effectiveness of finance, people, risk, and compliance processes. Equity, resilience, and accountability sits at the centre of its approach, and their years of experience working with hundreds of global development organisations translate into deep understanding and better results.

Problems faced

Humentum was formed in 2017 by the merger of InsideNGO, LINGOs, and Mango. The leaders of these organisations felt they could accomplish more as one global organisation, working together, than as individual organisations. Now operating across the globe, Humentum faced the challenge of compliance with regional employment and tax legislation in countries where it did not have its own established entities.

Humentum needed support employing local and specialised talent in these countries. Support was required with onboarding, payroll, and ongoing employment of workers in these countries.
