Femconsult offers a broad range of technical assistance services for sustainable development world-wide. Our experts are involved in identification, preparation, appraisal, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development interventions, projects and programmes. In addition our experts design, set-up and execute baseline, monitoring and impact surveys as well as social, poverty and gender assessment studies.
Our experts use participatory and integrated approaches because consultation of the stakeholders is the key to appraising the local situation. They ensure that both women and men are part of such consultations in order to avoid gender bias.
Approach
Femconsult is unique in its special focus on gender. Our approach to gender takes into account that women, men and children have different needs, resources and constraints. We attach great importance to a clear understanding of women’s and men’s potentials in development, which are shaped by underlying factors such as the gender division of labour (paid and unpaid), access to and control over resources, and access to social and technical services, education, health, family planning, child care and financial infrastructure.
Femconsult offers flexible solutions. Its prompt delivery and quality control are appreciated worldwide. To achieve flexibility Femconsult can draw from a group of highly qualified and skilled experts of over 500 international and national specialists who are experienced in sustainable development and familiar with gender equity, equality and related issues. |
