MCS

 

Medway consultancy Services (UK) Ltd

In the words of the head of one international funding agency in Dhaka, Bangladesh, MCS is an innovation ‘whose time has come, indeed, it is overdue!’.

The sustainability of so many significant aid and development programmes, especially for essential infrastructure, is often hampered by the reverse flow of funds for Consultants and Specialists from developed nations.

MCS’ unique blend of developed world expertise and experience, and the locally trained specialists in need of expertise transfer and experience represents a major innovation in sustainable development. Especially since that blend provides expertise of international standard at closer to local prices!

UK registered MCS has its main operating centre in Dhaka, Bangladesh, one of the world’s least developed nations, where nature seems to conspire to obstruct every major investment in infrastructure and sustainable constructions and institutions.

From the very real, and ever present threat of major earthquake, to widespread annual flooding in what is the world’s largest river delta system that comprises most of the country, to regular severe cyclones, and the forecast by specialists that over 30% of the entire landmass of the nation is threatened by climate change, Bangladesh is, perhaps, of all developing nations one of the neediest of such support. And yet, paradoxically, Bangladesh has a world leading record of homegrown innovation in development work, requiring , for the most part, only an innovation such as MCS to  more rapidly take even greater leadership in its own sustainable development!
