Eda successfully combines action research approach to understand context and nature of problems well, and development support that focuses on emerging practices and finding practical, feasible and innovative responses to challenges. The experience we have gained allows us a deep understanding of the local context and hidden factors that enable or inhibit success of development projects.

The team is dedicated to continuous learning, adoption of new methodologies/tools and gaining experience in their application to help our partners and customers to respond efficiently to increasingly complex challenges they face.
