ECO Consult GmbH & Co. KG

ECO was founded by Dr. Steve Sepp, Cornelia Sepp and Dietrich Busacker in 1992. It is amongst Germany's leading consultancies for natural resources management in official development assistance. In order to enhance livelihood support systems, combat poverty and prevent the decrease of bioresources we touch on all political intervention levels, resorting to a wide scope of technical disciplines. Looking back at close to 80 longterm projects and 700 short-term missions, we offer broad experience worldwide, with a special focus on the francophone Africa and Maghreb. We are called by commissioning bodies such as German Technical Cooperation (GIZ GmbH), the European Commission, FAO, the World Bank as well as non-governmental organizations. Our 30 in-house experts and associate consultants form an interdisciplinary team. In order to provide for a comprehensive approach to development, ECO has developed a network of branches. ECO sustains two domestic offices in Oberaula (head office) and Frankfurt am Main. Other offices are based in the field projects. In 2005, the ECO Consulting Group established its Agadir office, ECOG Maghreb, as a special basis for cooperation in the Maghreb.
