Our Ethos
![home_eco_sep1 home_eco_sep1](https://nichad.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/home_eco_sep1.png)
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.
