ECO Consult is one of Germany‘s leading providers of tech-nical expertise for international projects in the Green Sector. Our core busniess is knowledge transfer and social and po-litical transformation in selected partner countries of official development assistance, based on mutual or, multilateral, political agreements. We assist countries that seek solutions for better governance and business conduct, legal and admi-nistrational reform and capacity building. These challenges tend to go hand in hand and therefore call for integrated ap-proaches. ECO Consult is your partner for strategic advice for the protection and management of natural resources by way of empowerment, administrative, legal and, policy, reform.

ECO analyses the effects of resource mangement and gover-nance for pro-poor growth and rural development. We offer integrated solutions for the development of local skills and institutional capacities.

In policy planning we aid democratization and decentrali-zation processes. We help push forward climate protection measures and integrate climate adaptation policies into dev-elopment planning. In biodiversity conservation we assist integrated park management, establish access and benefit sharing measures and help valuate ecosystem services.

In addition to project implementations and around 700 mis-sions in over 100 countries we use our expertise to develop trainings for local and international staff.

ECO CONSULTING GROUP

Future is our daily business

ECO combines resource management strategies with organizational and personnel devel- opment. We analyze, on the basis of manda-

tory or voluntary agreements, the network of environmental, social and economic challenges of a partner country and dev-elop collaborative solutions.

Our services are process-oriented. They are based on partner- ship, participation, institutional pluralism and subsidiarity. Our customers are public governmental and non-governmental or-ganizations and private sector companies.

ECO Consult sustains two offices in Germany and several project offices in partner countries. Our in-house team of 35 forest and agricultural economists, sociologists, geographers, ethnologists and educational professionals as well as administrative staff are complemented by equal numbers of project staff in the field.

In addition to punctual advice and other more isolated servi-ces ECO has supervised over 80 long-term projects since 1992. Through our deliberately long-term, impact-oriented project planning we help clients to use their budgets in the most ap-propriate and effective way, touch on new financing mechan-isms such as carbon markets, and make success measurable.

Contact us and meet our team. We are looking forward to you.
