Organisations and institutions involved in international development are increasingly asked to demonstrate their results, relevance, efficiency, capacity for innovation and the application of new technologies. NCG’s consultants have extensive and proven experience with assisting organisations in improving their performance, through managing or advising on change processes both from within organisations and as external consultants.

NCG can assist in enhancing your organisational efficiency and impact. We help you to identify your needs for organisational change and advice on improvement measures, whether through the introduction of new technological solutions, reorganization, capacity-building, team-formation etc. NACG can also assist in the implementation of such actions, be it at headquarters, in the field and/or through wider networks.
