 Forward-looking business leaders and development practitioners are asking “what should our business strategy be, in the light of sustainability?

Sustainable solutions
Projects have, by nature, predefined budgets and time limits imposed on them. It is therefore known from the outset that any support provided through technical assistance or any other expertise on the project is going to come to an end at which point the client will either be expected to take over responsibility for the provisions made or continue maintenance of the outputs. It is essential then that any inputs throughout the development of the project are carefully planned with a view to their ongoing use once the project comes to an end and that a detailed exit strategy is devised as part of the inception phase. ACPDA team does not indulge the client by doing the job for them; rather it helps them to do the job for themselves.
