International partnerships

Local consulting support for international work in Pakistan.

We work with consulting firms, development partners and specialist organizations that need local context, research, stakeholder engagement and implementation support.

What we can support

Work that needs local understanding and reliable execution.

Our role can be narrow or broad, depending on the assignment and how the international team is structured.

Local research

Policy, institutional, market and sector research grounded in local sources and interviews.

Stakeholder engagement

Planning and supporting interviews, workshops and consultations with relevant institutions and groups.

Institutional analysis

Mandates, governance, decision rights, processes, constraints and implementation capacity.

Program design

Turning objectives into activities, responsibilities, results frameworks and workable delivery plans.

Local coordination

Keeping workstreams, meetings, inputs and follow-ups moving across institutions and project teams.

Training and handover

Workshops, tools and knowledge transfer designed around the institutions that will carry the work forward.

How we fit into a team

As a local consulting partner, a specialist workstream lead or part of an integrated team.

We can work under an international lead firm, alongside technical specialists, or as the local consulting component of a wider consortium. The structure should follow the assignment, not the other way around.

Where the work also needs engineering, technology or data capabilities, ECMDC can draw on the wider EC Group.
