We See More Similarities and Less Differences

“Over the years, it’s become apparent that there is a great deal of similarity in the issues and challenges that individuals and clients face, despite the differences between the institutions attending our workshops and the countries in which they operated. Notwithstanding the types of institutions and their country of origin, their challenges, strengths and weaknesses were more similar than they were different.”

As a result of DKG’s community development experience, in urban, rural and Native American communities, within the United States, as well as our experience in emerging markets, and developing economies within Asia, Caribbean and Central America, Europe and Central Asia, North Africa and Middle East, North America, and Sub Saharan Africa, we are well aware that many MSMEs often come to the table with limited resources, information, and experience. Nevertheless, we believe that these are not necessarily the only indices of unacceptable risk.

“We’ve built into our training services the tools and techniques essential for entrepreneurs, lenders, investors and technical assistance providers to accurately identify, assess and mitigate an applicant’s financial and non-financial risks.”

“We believe that the well-trained and fully prepared professional can provide his or her organization and clients with services that result in improved and sustainable performance.”
