Our other areas of expertise
Many countries and regions need to expand their markets to be able to benefit from globalisation. Joining the World Trade Organisation, or setting up and trading with regional trading blocs, have become important routes to economic prosperity. The development of small businesses, building up institutions, restructuring industries, etc, are all safe paths to develop and reach that economic prosperity.
AESA’s commitment to social development extends across various projects, encompassing labour market interventions, human resource development, and civil society strengthening. We provide technical assistance and skill-building support to public and private organisations. Our services include social policy analysis, labour market strategies, education development, and civil society empowerment, all contributing to social inclusion and sustainable growth.
