Development
MEP facilitates operations in challenging environments for development, reconstruction, defense, and corporate clientele primarily through the identification, vetting, and management of local national professionals. This extended reach into local networks also provides MEP with an acute sensitivity to community dynamics. MEP develops and implements custom community engagement strategies. Ultimately, these activities increase understanding, reduce risk, and build relationships between clients and local stakeholders.
Due to its strong ties to its areas of operation, MEP offers distinct advantages to development partners, be they governmental, non-profit, or private. MEP’s connections to local communities emerge from its business model: to hire local national professionals whenever possible. This provides insight into cultural, language, or technical limitations that may improve project planning, implementation, and management. Consequently, MEP employees have a native perspective on regional issues.
International development and reconstruction clientele must consider social, political, and economic circumstances when creating technical solutions for local development needs. MEP’s services complement these comprehensive programs with easy access to a local national workforce. Additionally, MEP can customize training programs to expand cultural and language awareness or to support capacity-building activities. Experienced instructors teach these courses both domestically and on-site, enabling stakeholders to accomplish development objectives more sustainably.
In alignment with the company vision to enable human freedom worldwide, MEP has created a joint venture, Justice Services International (JSI), to provide criminal justice, law enforcement, and personnel support to nation-building missions overseas for the departments of State, Defense, and Justice, as well as the United States Agency for International Development.
MEP affirms its commitment to operate responsibly through its core values and guiding principles. Further, MEP belongs to various associations, such as the UN Global Compact, that foster dialogue between private and public sector stakeholders to create innovative solutions for the world’s development needs. MEP believes no company that impinges upon others far from its corporate headquarters will thrive when compared to those companies that honor the individual and thereby unlock human potential.
