We offer solutions for the responsible management of natural resources to protect livelihoods and ecosystems. We partner with private investors to develop and install demonstration projects that improve access to energy in remote locations, increase employment opportunities locally, and enhance economic growth.

We support governments to develop and implement policies that promote pro-poor economic growth, and improve institutional relationships to ensure improved governance and management of natural resources. We differentiate ourselves through our laser focus on developing local capacity to manage natural resources.

Specific areas of expertise include: land tenure; forestry; project development; evaluation services; geospatial analysis; model development, and policy strengthening.
