International Cooperation

In the domain of international cooperation we carry out projects in transition, and developing countries. The regions of strategic importance to our company cover the Middle East and North Africa, South-east Europe as well as selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In accordance with our organizational structure we are able to offer our customers in international cooperation programmes the entire service spectrum derived from all the fields of activity covered by our company. These services will cover typically the full range of technical, economic, institutional and socio-economic aspects.

Our projects are characterized by the necessity of fruitful trilateral collaboration between the financier/ doner, the client/ beneficiary and the consultant; this setting leads to particular challenges for the Consultant which need to be addressed in all phases of the project cycle.

We address them partly by specific technical project management and judicious coordination of all parties, but also by a custom-made service package backed by interdisciplinary project teams dedicated to the tasks at hand. The specialists sent abroad are selected not only for their specialized technical knowledge but also for their excellent command of foreign languages and high intercultural ability. They are supported by colleagues from the head office who are able to contribute their own extensive experience in similar projects.

Our clients are multilateral and bilateral financing institutions, development organizations as well as authorities in the target countries, including particularly:

• The German Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW)
• The GermanGesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
• The European Commission
• The World Bank
• Regional and local authorities
