Emerging practices

The cross-cutting nature of our practices means that our core team and Practitioners Network has expertise in programming and analysis around ICT, gender, WASH, governance, humanitarian response, health systems strengthening, and infrastructure development. Our Network Experts in these areas are often available for high-level advisory services and contribute multi-sectoral validation to on-going projects.

In addition, many of our core consultants and network advisers are regional experts who are from and/or have lived, worked, and studied in the communities that we partner with. Our Practitioners Network map can give you an idea of some of our country and regional experience.

 

Client testimonials

As a relatively small nature conservation NGO, we had to really rethink our time and resources for a new five year strategy and MLE plan. The Development Practice worked with us to set up a process and template to update our existing strategy in a way that practically incorporated MLE. Their questions and insight allowed us to think about how to better monitor projects so that we can move towards improved impact reporting.
