Montrose was established in 2009 to provide efficient, high quality consultancy and project management solutions to development agencies and private sector clients working in the international development and social performance arenas.

Montrose was set up to be a much needed antidote to the mediocrity of much of the not-for-profit world and the complacency of the large consulting companies. Value, bespoke, technically sound and client-focused were (and remain) their watch words.

Today, Montrose is an international development services company providing support to clients operating in the developing world. The organization provides comprehensive services in the areas of technical assistance, social investment programming, project management and business development. Specialized in the sectors of health, water & sanitation, education and rural livelihoods they also provide support in the cross-cutting area of monitoring and evaluation, particularly the application of the newest technology to improve the performance and reach of development programmes. Their clients include bilateral and multilateral development agencies, the private sector, Non-Governmental Organizations and other development stakeholders. Their goal is to provide professional, efficient and effective international development services that ensure investment in the developing world leads to long-term improvements in health, education and livelihoods.

Montrose focuses on maximising quality, impact, value for money and responsiveness while minimising risk in all their social performance and development programmes for private and public sector clients.

Montrose believes that efficient social performance for the private sector must address corporate needs of maximising benefit while minimising risks. They help private sector clients to realise the win-win scenario of corporate benefit and local impact. Similarly, their work with development agencies is driven by technical quality, local knowledge, impact and value for money.
