Rural Development Division

In many parts of the world efforts to promote rural development have undergone substantial changes in recent years. To make them more effective government services aiming at the rural sector are increasingly been decentralized and they are delivered with strong participation of target groups and beneficiaries.

DMC’s rural Development unit supports this process by providing its expertise and suitable tools (Management information systems, Monitoring & Evaluation etc.) to increase the efficiency of these decentralized authorities.

In many countries government agencies have withdrawn completely form rendering services for which they were responsible so far and left the field to the private sector, professional bodies, non-government agencies and self-help organizations.

To create and to promote institutions which are geared to the newly evolving needs is the challenge of rural development of today. The unit of Rural Development with its multi-sectorial approach is experienced and well equipped to assist in this process. Its main role is to initiate and to moderate this “Process of change” in collaboration with our partners.
