Government Program Implementation & PMO Support

Complex Programs Don't Fail
for Lack of Plans.
They Fail for Lack of Follow-Through.

Farah Strategy & Consulting helps government agencies, healthcare organizations, and community-serving nonprofits get complex programs off the ground and across the finish line.

I keep a small number of active engagements so each client gets real attention, not a project manager checking in once a week.

About

The Person Who Does the Work, Not Just Writes the Report.

I'm Abdifatah Farah. I help government agencies and healthcare organizations take programs from planning to execution — the part where most things actually go wrong. I've managed multi-agency rollouts, kept compliance-heavy contracts on track, and coordinated the kind of cross-sector work where nobody's quite sure who owns what.

My background is in Medicaid managed care operations, CCO coordination, HRSN program oversight, and housing technical assistance. I worked at Elevance Health for three years running healthcare operations and compliance, and I've spent time at the community level helping navigate the exact systems I now help clients build. I'm finishing a Master of Public Administration — which matters less as a credential and more because it keeps me grounded in how policy actually shapes what's possible on the ground.

I'm not here to hand you a strategy deck and wish you luck. I stay in the work — tracking timelines, flagging risks early, writing reports that people actually read, and making sure deliverables land on time.

How I Work

How an Engagement Actually Works

No mystery, no surprises. Here's what working together typically looks like from first contact to handoff.

01

Discovery Call

We talk through your program, your challenges, and what success actually looks like for you. No pitch — just an honest conversation about whether we're a good fit.

02

Scoping & Proposal

I put together a clear scope — deliverables, timeline, pricing — based on what you told me. No template language, no padded estimates.

03

Active Engagement

I do the actual work. You get regular updates, written progress reports, and early heads-up when something looks off — not an email when it's already a problem.

04

Closeout & Handoff

When the engagement ends, your team inherits something they can actually use — documentation, tracking tools, lessons learned, and a transition that doesn't leave anyone scrambling.

Let's Talk

Let's Talk About What You're Working On

Whether you have a clear scope or just a problem you're trying to solve, a 30-minute call is a good place to start. No obligation, no pitch deck.
