Consulting is a major part of the development job market. And as one of the world’s top donors, the European Union is an attractive destination for consultants in a variety of fields — from governance to gender to green energy. Yet even for the most seasoned expert, it can be difficult to build a successful career as an EU aid consultant.
So, how do you win a consulting assignment with EuropeAid — and how to avoid bureaucratic hurdles and other pitfalls once on the job? These questions were front and center at our recent webinar “Successful consulting with EuropeAid.”
The webinar featured a presentation by Henry Leerentveld, cofounder and chairman of Technical Assistance Consultants United, a membership organization that represents the interests of individual aid experts. After his presentation, Henry answered questions submitted live by webinar participants, together with his colleagues Stephen Dewar and Michael Gericke.
