Accenture Development Partnerships: Service Overview

Accenture Development Partnerships collaborates with organisations working in the international development sector by delivering innovative solutions that truly change the way people work and live.

We also help companies targeting emerging markets for growth to develop the kind of social development projects that are essential to build traction in these regions.

• Teaming with our clients to help them become high-performance organisations, and applying Accenture’s business and technology capabilities to help them maximise their impact.

• Advancing market-based solutions to development challenges which are scalable, sustainable and outcome-oriented.

• Fostering collaboration and partnerships between the public, private and non-profit sectors in order to address global development challenges.

We achieve this mission by making Accenture's core capabilities–its best people and strategic business, technology and project management expertise–available to clients in the international development sector on a not-for-profit basis.

Organisational Strengthening. The management and operational challenges that developmental organisations face are often similar to those faced by the private sector. These challenges include implementing new strategies that require significant organisational change, improving the efficiency of support functions and utilizing information technology to inform management decision-making.
