mesopartner applies the principle of partnership both internally and in its interaction with customers and other external partners. We share knowledge, and we engage in joint learning. We broaden the expertise of practitioners on the ground, and we build their capacity to work effectively and creatively.

In our approach to development, we subscribe to the subsidiarity principle. We strive to equip people close to the ground with concepts and methods to better understand their reality and find ways of changing it for the better.

We have learned that successful development is based on iterations and adaptation. Planning is important, but in a global economy that is getting more complex, dynamic and volatile plans have to be revised and adapted continuously. Strategy is important, and it must not be confused with strategic planning. Process management is crucial, and it needs to be based on intense and efficient communication.
