POWER AND ENERGY
Driven by a shift in the demand and supply trends, innovation and environmental concerns, the energy transition is well underway, and there are significant opportunities for developing countries to improve the performance of their energy systems.
Policy decisions made by governments in developing countries today will determine whether the future energy systems will be capable of delivering across the three key imperatives: i) economic growth and development, ii) energy security and universal access, and iii) environmental sustainability.
Our mission is to help our clients define appropriate reforms and facilitate their timely implementation by addressing the practical issues that typically frustrate the process.

SOLID WASTE MANAGMENT
Solid waste management is a challenge to city authorities in developing countries due to the increasing generation of waste, the burden of the high cost of waste management on municipal budgets, the lack of understanding of the factors that affect the different stages of waste management, and linkages necessary to enable the proper functioning of the entire system.
As a result, there is dependence on donor funding and the consequent non-sustainability of waste management services upon the termination of that funding.
