Approach

The cornerstones of COFAD’s approach are

• Multi- and interdisciplinarity

We believe that effective and sustainable development can only be achieved through a thorough analysis and consideration of all relevant aspects of a problem, including social, economic, political, institutional, technical, and environmental. To cope with this challenge, we work in an interdisciplinary manner in multidisciplinary teams covering all required fields of expertise.

• Solid professional background

We find it essential to have in-house or affiliated competence within our specific fields to ensure high professional standards of our work. In consequence, we have always confined our activities to fields in which are fully covered by the professional background of our staff or of our key collabotators.

• Client orientation

We are committed to serve our clients in the best possible way; their benefit is our first concern.
