AGChange - Associates for Global Change

AGChange is an international consulting firm that delivers action-oriented technical assistance in several sectors as outlined below. AGChange's comparative advantage flows from:

• the application of the belief that development programs and projects, as well as private investments, will achieve their goals and targets more easily if Western and national consultants work together as equal professional partners;
• its ability to put into practice its belief that the public and private sectors engaged in promoting development will each benefit by building partnerships with and learning from the other;
• the commitment of AGC's Partners to creativity, innovation and the search for practical synergies and ways to build local capacity;
• a commitment to work only in those geographic and substantive areas where the firm has substantial expertise and capacity;
• its bilingual capacity in English and French and
• its pledge to put performance and results before profits.
