Project Design and Management

We design and manage projects ranging from large-scope Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs to working with regional and local civil society organizations (CSOs) in health promotion, micro-entrepreneurial, and other programs targeted to vulnerable populations.

Our experience and expertise in needs and capacity gap assessments, facilitation, training, and monitoring and evaluation, along with our deep understanding of the region, are essential tools in managing progress toward project objectives with all stakeholders.
  • Through the Hewlett-Packard Learning Iniative for Entrepreneurs (HP LIFE), we work with more than 50 CSOs to train micro-entrepreneurs and youth in low-income communities in business and information technology skills, disbursing equipment and cash grants and providing “Training of Trainer” workshops.
  • The Migrant Worker Capacity Building and Better Factory Project, a two-year pilot program we co-designed, demonstrated our ability to work with government-operated training schools, factories, migrant workers, and corporate donors. This project aims to promote migrant labor well-being, resolve labor shortages, and reduce high turnover rates in Chinese factories through provision of pre-departure training, job placement, and review of factory human resource policies and practice. Our role in project implementation included monitoring and evaluation, and facilitation of stakeholder meetings. 
  • For the Deutsche Bank five-year regional HIV/AIDS Program, we supported and strengthened CSO partners in five countries across Asia to implement programs on HIV/AIDS for orphaned and vulnerable children and their families. One example of this work is our partnership with the Association for Community and Ecology Development (ACED) on income-generating activities in the Chiang Rai region of Thailand.  

In addition to Deutsche Bank, we have also advised Hewlett-Packard, Starbucks Asia, adidas, and other corporations on their strategies for CSR and employee engagement. For more details on these and other projects, please see the Projects section of our site.
