Governance and Economic Development

Building institutions that work for the people

Governance and Economic Development helps to ensure that institutions in our partner countries have the capacity to create an enabling environment for socio-economic growth.

  • Our team shares a passion for development and is dedicated to delivering tailor-made solutions for every project, country and context in which we work.
  • Our holistic approach and deep understanding of the approaches to bring together governments, businesses and civil society organisations allows us to arrive at effective solutions to complex governance problems. 
  • We implement projects at all levels - from the macro level of general development strategies, down to the micro level of strengthening local governance and individual businesses, while paying due attention to cross-cutting issues such as human resource development, gender equality, and environmental protection
  • Our services in the areas of good governance and economic growth include:
    • Project cycle management;
    • Technical, economic and socio-economic studies;
    • Institution building;
    • Capacity building;
    • Organisational development and change management; 
    • Policy dialogue and policy advice. 
What I appreciate about GOPA is the trustful partnership and the confidence they have in my work. I receive help when I need it and together we take responsibility for the project’s results.

Prior to joining the team in our headquarters, I worked for GOPA on a GIZ-funded project at the EAC Secretariat in Tanzania. I now have a pleasantly wide perspective on strategic aspects of our projects. I am particularly inspired by the dynamics of working in different countries and on diverse topics
