Our program design and management services help clients get the very best return on their program that fits their organization needs. ELCS has built technical capacity to manage complex projects that require sophisticated and experienced program management. We understand project frameworks and methodologies as well as the required tools, techniques and processes to meet individual project requirements. The ELCS team has examined project failures (cost overruns, benefit shortfalls and/or delays) in Afghanistan involving public institutions, international organizations, and local entities in the marketplace. ELCS project management considers the following factors in designing and delivering projects:

• • Project environment (including the political situation)
  • Culture (socio-economic background and thought processes of different actors)
  • Environment (reducing pollution and sustainable use of natural resources)
  • Social (ethnic hostility, beneficiaries’ resistance to new social values)
  • Corruption (political influence and lack of strong regulatory institutions)
