Consultancy

TorqAid offers Global Humitarian Practice services in  the three key areas of consultancy/advisory work, training, and resources.  This page focuses in on the first of these, whilst other pages deal with training and resources. Advisory work is largely built around an ongoing relationship with the client in question, whilst consultancy is more about one-off contracts with individual clients.  Mentoring is more of an ongoing one-to-one relationship with the Global Humanitarian Practitioner (GHP) in question.
