ADE is a private consultancy created in 1990.

Our mission is to contribute to improved public decision-making through independent policy advice.

Our clients include international institutions, bilateral and multilateral development agencies, NGOs, and national public institutions. We advise our clients on the entire policy cycle, from design to implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and strategic recommendations.

Our goal is to bridge the gap between research and policy by applying academic rigour to answer concrete policy questions.

We do so by drawing on our in-house technical expertise and our worldwide network of academic partners, specialised consultancies, and freelance experts. We are highly client-oriented, offering innovative and tailor-made solutions to meet the needs of each organisation. We guarantee excellence through our rigorous quality assurance systems.
