Launching and Sustaining Processes of Local or Regional Economic Development

mesopartner specialises in developing and disseminating concepts and methodologies to launch, manage, monitor and assess local or regional economic development processes. We primarily work in developing and transformation countries. Our most widely used product is Participatory Appraisal of Competitive Advantage (PACA). However, our product portfolio is not limited to PACA. We offer a comprehensive product package that addresses the complete life cycle of territorial development initiatives:

GENESIS is a methodology to identify catalytic projects in a participatory way, using scenario writing.

SkilLED is a portfolio of training courses to introduce or deepen the understanding of territorial development.

PACA and RALIS are methods for a quick, action-oriented
scan of a local economy.

The Compass of Local Competitiveness is a participatory performance management tool that is based on the Balanced Scorecard.
