NICHAD – Network of International Consultants in Heath and Development

Our Ethos

We recognise that aid budgets and programmes are under increasing pressure to keep costs down, demonstrate value for money and still deliver results. Our model helps ensure that the costs of hiring and using consultants are kept to a minimum whilst still providing high quality expertise. The current economic climate makes employing self-employed consultants attractive.

We are a network of consultants with no corporate identity and have no buildings to maintain and no management overheads. This means that we are demonstrably value for money. We will quote you a daily rate plus reimbursables at cost.

Our network is transaction light, can respond and mobilise quickly and is committed to using new technology (including secure video conferencing) to reduce costs.

Who we are

We are a group of self employed health development specialists who have worked extensively in low and middle income countries.

We share a common vision of reducing poverty and improving the health and lives of others.

We have complementary skills, knowledge and a strong track record of delivering short and medium term consultancy for a range of national governments, foundations, major charities and international agencies.
