ICON-INSTITUTE Consulting Group is a private company designing, managing and implementing international projects in development cooperation. During almost 45 years of experience, we have established ourselves as a recognised actor in the development and cooperation sector. We support our partners and clients with expertise, knowledge and capacities to meet their development objectives and ensure long lasting and sustainable results. We have developed solid cooperation and working relations with international and national development organisations such as the United Nations (UNFPA, UNDP, UNESCO, ILO, etc.), the European Union, the World Bank and other international development banks, bilateral development agencies such as GIZ, KfW, AFD, Enabel, DFID, SIDA, as well as national and local governmental institutions and civil society organisations.

Our expertise covers the full project life cycle, from feasibility studies, formative evaluations and concept development to design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development interventions.

We support the 2030 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals. This enables us to further integrate our thematic and technical expertise and align our interventions to the SDG targets. The good development practices that we have implemented through the years can be broadly disseminated.

We value interdisciplinary and integrated approaches through our core services: capacity development and training, technical assistance, consultancy and research. We believe that these services are complementary and provide the intended impact for development, seeking to bring effective and sustainable change at individual, organisational and environmental levels.

Our solutions ensure that the interventions of our partners and clients are relevant. We also firmly believe that context matters, and we therefore seek to adapt our approach and concepts to the context in which we are to operate and try to adhere to the fundamental principles of human rights, do no harm and leave no-one behind that are embedded in the 2030 Development Agenda.
