LTS is owned by its current staff. This motivates the team to focus on quality and impact. Our history… Over our 36 years of working with both public and private sectors, we have seen numerous changes and challenges. Over the years, many ‘current issues’ have required us to look to our past to understand how to best address the core issues in development: economics, building capacity, re-shaping policies, empowering the poorest. We have a strong and extensive history in each of these areas. What clients and partners say:"We found LTS International to be a thorough, responsive and flexible consultancy when asked to undertake the first stocktake of England's regional forestry strategies to inform our forward planning." "I think of all the evaluations I have ever participated in yours (LTS) was very unique both in design and execution – a very good learning process for the team. We appreciate your very good thoughts on what we could add to improve the project." Solomon Mwangi, NatureKenya "The (LTS) programme management team is to be commended for the progress made, often in difficult circumstances." – Ghana Research & Advocacy Programme "The review LTS International conducted for us on our National Forest Programme provided an excellent basis on which to take forward its revision. They identified its link to the key policy documents for the delivery of sustainable forest management in the UK but more importantly identified areas that would benefit from simplification, particularly in the area of information gathering." Mike Dudley, Head International Policy, Forestry Commission UK "Well done for an excellent job and setting a gold standard for management and communications – not just for Malawi!" "We all agree that this is an excellent piece of work. It is extremely thorough and your depth of knowledge on this topic is clearly evident. We also all agreed that it was very informative with well thought through analysis and conclusions." – Thematic Review of Darwin Initiative Projects. Sarah Nelson, DEFRA UK "Thank you very much for your always kind, prompt and professional assistance, it has TRULY been a real pleasure working with you and your team. I hope that we will have further opportunities to work together on other projects in the future." "LTS synthesized a large amount of technical information across a number of sectors – health, technology, science – to produce a much sought after, readable document. It captured and delivered our message really effectively, and certainly helped us engage with potential partners." "We are very impressed with the professional work produced in the tight timeframe. Your work has exceeded our expectations." |
