ASSIST was established in 2003 as a three-person NGO in the Philippines. From there, we have expanded through the rest of the region of Southeast Asia. Inspired by the growth since, we are still driven by the same passion and purpose for progress and prosperity in Asia.
We take pride in our professional outlook, social responsibility, and process-oriented approach to capacity building towards social improvement and sustainable transformation.
ASSIST Development Consulting is a multidisciplinary consulting unit that utilizes grants and delivers key projects through technical services to numerous stakeholders across our priority sectors. We have worked to provide individuals, organizations, communities, and economies with the capacity to enhance their own programs and policies. We aim to connect civil society, public and private partners in the implementation of localized solutions to achieve inclusive growth in alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
ASSIST’s Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) brings together private companies and international organisations under a framework that creates innovative interventions which benefit our wide range of partners and beneficiaries. At PSP we harness the power and creativity of the private sector to design and implement projects that introduce new technologies, open markets, transfer knowledge, and create opportunities. We provide a proven way to make the private sector a driver of sustainable development. Despite the great potential developing countries and growing economies have, there remain significant risks should any company enter these areas, such as weak infrastructure and a lack of qualifications. Private Sector Partnerships minimizes these risks through providing financial and professional support, bolstering global partnerships with governments, NGOs, other private organizations, and communities.
Creativelab, a specialized unit under ASSIST, strive to help your organization and its programs achieve optimum impact through maximum outreach.
Through a unique mix of contextualized social development, regional presence and innovative design capabilities we solve the communication, visibility and knowledge management needs of development stakeholders, such as NGOs, social enterprises, UN agencies, International Financing Institutions and others.
As a development organization in Asia, our goal is to empower our target groups and make them resilient to the social, economic and environmental challenges – through our three distinct, yet coherent arms:
Development Solutions has grown into a solution provider leveraging over 15 years of experience and strong expertise in our priority areas, delivering a range of comprehensive technical assistance and capacity building services.
Our learnings and proceeds from the various projects are put to best use by Social Actions through programs that create sustainable and lasting impact in the areas of our work.
Our social enterprise, AsianNGO, through its rich information platform and publication called iMPACT, leverages on ASSIST to serve as a pillar in building capacity among key development stakeholders.
