Our Approach

AgriSmart Group members have helped governments, donor agencies and private sector companies for more than 35 years in planning, design and execution of projects in Africa, south and East/southeast Asia, Middle East, Oceania and Americas. The central approach to implementation of all projects is collaborative with an emphasis on improving the capacity of local partners to enable consensus, local ownership and cost elements. AgriSmart Group members strongly believes that this approach to capacity development ensures long-term sustainability of project results.

The Group firmly believes that to ensure the lasting impact, it is crucial for the country partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries to not only be actively involved in all phases of the project – from project design to implementation – but also in assuming ownership in defining project goals, activities, indicators and results. The physical and financial ownership and consensus should also rest with the country partners and stakeholders through project design and periodic progress reviews. This approach is proactively followed in every step of project planning and management.
