Approach

Our approach to promote welfare and sustainable economic development combines the highest standards of professional excellence with a genuine passion for improving the livelihoods and the living environment of the people for whom we work, in countries where we operate. ​

In our work we develop a thorough understanding of the needs of our clients. Our systematic, flexible and effective method of working is responsive to the evolving needs, ambitions and aspirations of our customers. We focus on building and maintaining the trust of our clients, by delivering balanced and complete solutions tailored to requirements of a dynamic and competitive environment, and implementing innovative, efficient and cost-effective approaches, methods and techniques that will demonstrate superior development outcomes. Financial performance is an important design parameter for the interventions we propose, but equal attention will be addressed to all relevant, critical social and environmental issues which are deemed supportive to the attainment of financial goals.

The basic, core values of our approach, method of working and the contents of our services include:

• An exclusively entrepreneurial, market oriented focus;
• A participatory, consensus based decision-making process;
• A holistic, integrated, systems approach towards economic development;   
• Focus on strengthening existing local skills and building new ones, and;
• Simultaneous attainment of social, economic and environmental sustainability.

 

Prosperity through Entrepreneurship

We consider entrepreneurship as the single most important driving force in developing the rural economy. We strongly believe in the crucial role of entrepreneurship as important strategic intervention tool that could accelerate economic development in rural areas worldwide.

The promotion of rural enterprises and the development of entrepreneurial skills will contribute to create employment, improve farm or related business earnings, and hence create welfare. We perceive entrepreneurship as an important means to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities and to sustain both a healthy (rural) economy and environment.

To create an environment which will be conducive to the advancement (and prosperity) of rural enterprises and the families depending on them, now and in the future, we believe due consideration should be given to relevant social and environmental aspects.

Systems Approach

In order to prosper and sustain, agribusiness or enterprise development has to be placed in the context of and adapted to local conditions and circumstances. This calls for a holistic or integrated (systems) approach, taking into consideration the complexity and interactions of proposed business activities within the context of their physical, social and economic environment.

We have adopted a systems approach as our main analytical framework for the design of interventions, aiming to contribute to improve the overall performance of enterprises, the sector and the economy to which they belong. This approach recognises the systematic linkages within the business enterprise system.

This approach will lead to a comprehensive strategy to realise quantitative and qualitative improvements in the entire sector, as it will address all relevant aspects of the production (value or market) chain: from primary producer, via collection and processing, to marketing and distribution to the final consumer.
