About us
DMI Associates is an independent technical assistance and public policy advisory company.
Specialised in institutional capacity building, the company has, since its creation in 1998, conducted more than 300 missions in over 70 countries. As a donor operator, we implement technical assistance projects in transitioning or developing countries around the world.
DMI Associates works independently of its related funding organisations and beneficiaries. The company therefore works objectively from a political, economic, ideological and religious perspective. We pride ourselves in maintaining intellectual integrity in all circumstances, as well as total transparency in the achievement of the missions entrusted to us.
