International development and finance agencies (IDFA)

Growth always matters. It matters in the developed and developing world. Grant Thornton member firms help international development programmes all over the world. They establish the right environments for growth by providing services and practical solutions to the IDFAs.

Improving performance is important to organisations of all kinds. It is certainly an issue for International Development and Finance Agencies whose precious financial resources have to aid some of world’s poorest regions.

Grant Thornton firms work with local non-government organisations (NGOs), small and medium-sized private sector enterprises and government agencies. They use the latest techniques to identify the needs and objectives of a project, develop strategic and tactical solutions and then implement plans.

It means improving financial management and administrative functions in these ways:

• enhance performance and efficiency
• help compliance with procedures and special requirements of international development and finance agencies
• produce tangible business results
• assist the management of change effectively
• improving performance is important to organisations

Experience and expertise are valuable. Member firms have both. They service clients around the world with specialised professionals focused on developing and emerging markets. They believe that the best advice should be provided by experts within local business environments and cultures. International know-how combined with local knowledge delivers the best results.

Businesses, NGOs and governments have recognised that Grant Thornton firms provide this. Projects have measurable outcomes. Each project is treated as unique, with goals specific to the task and the local country.
