ARKO CONSULTING Information

ArkoConsulting implements major development programmes alongside international cooperation actors: institutions, organisations and local authorities. Its teams work across Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, including fragile contexts, in 17 countries. We deliver multi-year technical assistance, evaluations and monitoring and evaluation systems. Sectors: governance and decentralisation, civil society, food security, economic inclusion, biodiversity, gender. Methods aligned with OECD-DAC criteria, results-based management (RBM) and EU PRAG procedures. We also build the digital tools these programmes run on: M&E platforms, data collection, dashboards, GIS mapping. This work is carried by ArkoLab, our software unit, which also publishes ArkoNote, an expense accounting system for missions, consultancies and project teams, adapted to each donor's rules (arkonote.arkolab.org). We train field teams and local partners in M&E, project management and the use of these tools. A programme that leaves no local capacity behind has not met its objective. Our teams combine field experts, evaluators and developers. They work with us: European Commission (INTPA, NEAR), AFD, World Bank, GIZ, ECHO, UNEP, Fondation de France.
