Today, we deliver technical assistance to over 100 countries annually – a project portfolio managed by 350 permanent staff. Our network of external experts approaches 25,000 development professionals worldwide, and our 51 offices in 27 countries support long-term partnerships and build local capacity in the countries where we work. In every sector we ask ourselves if we can introduce new services where, together with clients, we can contribute to the development goals. Through our work we aim at visibly improving livelihoods and developing resilient future societies that are inclusive, stable, well governed and climate-smart. The green growth and circular economy initiatives we work on with our partners address climate change through adaptation, mitigation and building of resilience. At the same time, they also promote job creation and generate wealth. We integrate human rights-based approaches and structured capacity-development and skills transfer into our projects and work closely with institutions to develop expertise within agricultural sector reform, private sector development, and peace, security and governance processes. We incorporate the UN Sustainable Development Goals in all our activities and measure their impact on society and the environment. We believe that aligning our work with the SDGs enables us to identify and deliver solutions that contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world − a fundamental objective of NIRAS employees. NIRAS’ solutions are addressing the major societal challenges of our time and are directly contributing to the UN’s 17 SDGs. 3
