ETG Team Philosophy

Economic Transformations Group (ETG) is a networked consultancy, which means that we hire the most qualified experts according to the needs of the project.  We also work in partnership with other development organizations and consultancies.  Our core team consists of the partner members of ETG who provide the overall framework and philosophy behind all of our projects.  Through our combined  network of professional contacts built up through years of experience, we have the ability to build a dream team for activating sustainable economies in a variety of contexts.
