Agriculture
Dalberg recognizes the strategic importance of agriculture – and the economic stability and opportunity a healthy industry creates – in developing countries. They work with clients across the global agriculture sector to identify, design and implement solutions that add value to market participants, from the smallholder farmer to the global retailer. Their clients include foundations, operational and advocacy NGOs, and national governments active in investing and growing agricultural markets across multiple geographies – particularly, in recent work, Africa.
Conflict, human rights, and humanitarian aid
They help their clients to develop sound strategy, optimize performance, measure the impact of their efforts, locate like-minded partners, and access new sources of funding. As a result of their work, their clients are able to enhance their strategies and capabilities to respond to some of the world's most pressing and complex humanitarian challenges.
Corporate
Dalberg helps corporations achieve lasting competitive advantage in developing markets. They work with corporate leaders to ensure that they understand the commercial, social and political conditions affecting their opportunities in these markets. They stay with their clients as they engage with partners in government, civil society and local business.
Energy and environment
Dalberg's energy and environment practice works with companies, NGOs, foundations, governments and international agencies to advance environmental sustainability. They help their clients to transform markets, make sound supply-side choices, access financing, develop standards, navigate regulatory change, locate like-minded partners and develop strategies to address key environmental risks.
Global health
From designing new financing mechanisms to building an inspirational strategic direction for a dynamic NGO, global health leaders partner with Dalberg.
