IHS implements projects both locally and internationally. We work closely with national and local governments, development organisations, international and local non-governmental organisations, the private sector, and academic and training institutions worldwide, mainly in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe.
Our team of multidisciplinary, international staff has expertise ranging from municipal finance, to participatory planning, action and strategic planning, housing policies and finance, and environmental planning and management. Our staff mix the rigour of knowledge transfer with practical expertise acquired through direct involvement in projects and advisory services worldwide.
"IHS' expertise in urban development was invaluable, and its ability to bring stakeholders from diverse backgrounds was instrumental in creating innovative solutions to complex challenges. Their hands-on approach helped ensure that our solutions were practical, effective, and sustainable, and it gave us valuable insights into scaling up and replicating our successes. I can confidently say that IHS' passion, expertise, and commitment to making a difference in the world are truly inspiring."
