About Us

The EC&C Development Group is an international strategic consulting firm providing advise to governments, donors, NGOs and private companies working in or for developing and emerging countries.

We strive to contribute to the economic development and energy conservation of those countries by serving our clients according to the following main principles.

• Our solutions are fact-based, rigidly structured and hypothesis-driven and fit within the local context
  We strive to contribute to the economic development and energy conservation of those countries by providing solutions that are fact-based, rigidly structured and hypothesis-driven and fit within the local context.
• Our consultants either have a background in strategy consulting or deep knowledge of a specific country, sector or functional area
  EC&C does this, as much as possible, by forming teams of consultants who have worked with top-tier (strategy) consulting firms in developed countries and experts who have worked in a specific developing country or field of development. The (strategy) consultants with highly-effective problem-solving and communication skills can bring in fresh ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking to unsolved development issues, whilst the experts ensure the strategies are implementable and fit within the local context.
• Our impact is high and measurable. We only take on projects if the value added for the client exceeds the consulting costs
  We believe that engagements should only be undertaken when the value to the client or the client’s beneficiaries can be measured and is expected to exceed the costs of the project.

The team can be characterized as dynamic, intellectual and entrepreneurial. We highly value a culture within the firm based upon trust, commitment, respect, care and mentorship. We strive to place the client interests before those of our firm in everything we do.
