Consulting Services

While the Mediterranean Center for Sustainable Development Programs (MCSDP) devotes a significant time to preparing youth to face the future through our outdoor education programs for schools and our summer camp, our expertise is actually built on decades of service to bilateral and multilateral international development organizations.

As such MCSDP was created to promote public-private partnership to ensure that the social, economic, and ecological objectives of sustainability are integrated into the decision making process at all levels. We do this by providing consultancy services to governmental, non-governmental and private sector institutions throughout Egypt and the region. MCSDP is an effective task and process oriented advocate of integrated policies for sustainable development, both inside and outside of government. By focusing on the public interest, we are able to rise above sectoral rivalries to facilitate dialogue, build alliances, and create consensus among various interest groups.

Consulting Capabilities

MCSDP is a leading private sector consulting firm specialized in sustainable development practices and environmental managements systems in the Mediterranean region.

The effectiveness, creativity, and credibility of MCSDP lie in our ability to link best practices and technologies to client and stakeholder needs. Using an integrated approach to development, management, and use of available resources, our work starts with an assessment of client needs within the broader framework of sustainability. MCSDP expert teams, together with clients and stakeholders, subsequently develop action plans and implementation strategies, incorporating milestones for monitoring project progress and impact.

MCSDP provides comprehensive services, coordinating the entire process with the active participation of the clients or stakeholders. This "hallmark" approach creates an enabling environment for our clients to build human capacity and strengthen their institutional capabilities throughout the project cycle.

MCSDP draws upon our vast network of regional and international experts and collaborating consulting and engineering firms in response to client needs. Our in-depth knowledge of the Mediterranean socio-economic and cultural framework, coupled with practical experience navigating the region's complex political and institutional landscape, places MCSDP at the forefront of environmental service providers and on the cutting edge of sustainable development planning.
