We are proud of the work we undertake in conjunction with the countries and territories within which we operate. In all cases we operate with the knowledge and cooperation of the state in which development work is being undertaken. Our emphasis is upon achieving results in client states. This means that we have to take a view, in conjunction with our funders, about how best to work with our client states to achieve goals common to both.

Because we often recommend structural changes to development funding models or programmes in the course of our work; and we appreciate and acknowledge the political side-effects of any recommendations we may make, we stay constantly in contact with both client state governments, project funders and any international organisations involved, particularly so as to ensure the efficiency and productivity of the latter.
