DECC specializes its services in fostering Economic Development and Recovery across diverse environments—from crisis and post-crisis settings to long-term development contexts. We empower governments, development partners, and the private sector to overcome systemic socio-economic challenges, such as market inefficiencies and limited resource access, policy reform and targeted programmatic solutions.

Our core expertise is strengthening and leveraging the Private Sector and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as vital engines for local economic development. We provide end-to-end support—from strategic planning, resource mobilization, and value chain development to practical implementation and impact evaluation. Our services are designed to accelerate inclusive participation, strengthen the business ecosystem, and foster strategic linkage through empowerment of women and youths, policy dialogue, targeted skills development, and enterprise support. We strengthen capacity for enabling business environments by facilitating access to finance, technology, market linkages, and knowledge transfer, while delivering essential capacity building and infrastructure support.

Crucially, Resilience, Green Growth, and Gender and Social Inclusion are not add-ons; they are seamlessly embedded at the core of all our interventions, ensuring our solutions are not only effective but also sustainable and equitable. DECC’s core team of experts bring multidimensional perspectives in increasing the efficiency of development financing in the area of ‘local economic development’ that are focused in creating sustainable employment opportunities at local level.
