Project environment

A favourable outcome of any field intervention in a developing country calls for  adequate institutional capacity, sufficient infrastructure etc., but also a thorough field study among the final beneficiaries on the expectancy and acceptance of the intervention, regardless of the intended means of implementation. We carry out missions and studies to find out whether there will be a favourable environment or “project climate” for further phases of intervention preparation and implementation. 

Feasibility

In any cycle of a development intervention, before making financing decision, maybe the most valuable information is the feasibility of the proposed  intervention. Our covering field experience is apt to promote exercises striving to assess feasibility reliably and accurately. Rather than making a single feasibility study, based on the outcome of appraisal, we prefer inclusion of a feasibility assessment component in each stage of planning and regular reviews during the implementation.  

Programme Support or Budget Support

In case of Programme Support is the chosen way of Development Cooperation we are prepared to undertake assignments pertaining to project preparation. We assist in project identification, Terms of Reference compilation, or assessment of overall relevance of the venture. Project formulation and project document drafting are part of our services as well as pre-implementation appraisals.

Reduction Strategy are important, but maybe even more important is to find out whether there is true commitment from the side of partner country’s development authorities and stakeholders of a future development intervention. In this respect we carry out reliably the field-studies and assessments pertaining to country policies, proposed development programmes, capacity of institutional framework, gender- and poverty-aspects involvement, infrastructure, and not the least important, accountability.

Implementation phase

We assume implementation responsibility of an intervention, solely or partially shared, or we carry out a desired assignment included in a larger entity. For field operations we provide also a full scale of project management services. On the other hand we can commit responsibility on monitoring, evaluation and assorted reviews. 

Analyses and assessments

We complete our service line by provision of analyses and studies pertaining to the above mentioned sectors. Such are economic-, cost-benefit- and risk analyses and impact analyses on gender-, social and environmental issues. We carry out the studies in preferred sequences or under the framework of Poverty Reduction Strategy.
