The underlying motive for much of Ecorys’ work in this area is: what can we do to make the life of people better, be it through our contribution to poverty reduction, to more sustainable public finances, to better delivery of government services and/or to more accountable and transparent governments.
We have considerable expertise in advising and supporting developed, transition and developing countries to strengthen their formulation, implementation and budget execution systems. This work often focuses on governmental structures at central, regional and municipal level. Our expertise is placed at the cutting edge of PFM policy and practice, taking into account of, for instance, the political economy of PFM. We are proud to have among our clients the Governments of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the governments of the Nordic countries, to name but a few. Moreover, we implement challenging projects for the European Commission, World Bank, Asian Development Bank and the InterAmerican Development Bank and other international organisations.
The CA comprises around fifteen consultants who are divided into four fields of expertise: Macroeconomics and Public Finance Management, Governance, Development Cooperation Policy and Aid Management, and Monitoring and Evaluation. Consultants of the CA are active in at least two content areas. They contribute to project implementation as well as project acquisition. It is our philosophy that excellence in acquisition draws on competences acquired in project implementation.
