MISSION

MISSION

Our Mission is to promote development through the application of knowledge and proven expertise to achieve maximum use of the World’s dwindling resources while maintaining competitiveness and shareholder value. This mission is our believe which emanates from the following:

  • That many development projects especially at the community level have made only modest gains due to the neglect of the integration of other stakeholders such as community based organisation and the application of tested and documented knowledge derived from research and proven expertise.
  •  That a holistic approach to development problems is imperative requiring a multidisciplinary orientation.
  •  The need for the development of local capacities, expertise and perspectives in the areas of development planning, project design, planning and implementation. Monitoring and Evaluation.
