Economic Development & Trade Advisory

Maputo, Moçambique

Advisory across the full distance between development capital and functioning markets.

ELIM Serviços works with multilateral and bilateral institutions to design and deliver development programmes — and with the enterprises inside those markets, to help them trade, grow and mentor the next generation.

Anchor methodology — Strengthening Market Systems. We apply the Market Systems Development (M4P) approach across the design, implementation and evaluation of every engagement.
