LAMAR: Linking needs with resources, doing business with social responsibility

Over the years, the number of organization seeking assistance and bidding for development work from development institutions increases. The concern is obvious, “getting the job”, and “delivering project to the much needed”. While all these are very valid, the task now is to be able to do it right. It is therefore essential to put in place a sound check and balance mechanism to ensure that development assistance and resources are utilized efficiently and effectively. This therefore demands that all participants should develop a sense of social responsibility in delivering much needed assistance as the world now contends with limited resources. Development now requires partnership, development cooperation, more so, “accountability and social responsibility”.

Multi-sectorial partnership is seen not merely as an “alternative” but as a priority strategy. Development and donor agencies play a more crucial role not merely as source of funds but also as partners in “development management”. These roles demands that they tap on exemplary and competent human expertise to deliver the job.

Consulting organizations and individuals who seek development works are co-partners in ensuring that development funds while limited are being used astutely for such purposes.
They are socially accountable to deliver their commitment to the highest standards all assignment entrusted to them.

The global reality of poverty and needs serves as a backdrop when Lamar does it job: doing business with social responsibility, making sure that clients get maximum benefits, because development is about efficient us of ‘resources’.

Lamar hopes to link these needs with the right resources by providing development institutions with the best consultants and consulting firms who can deliver the job and carry out their mandate on the ground. In turn: development institutions and their recipients get maximum benefits while consulting firms and individual consultant are given the opportunity to continuously enhance their skills and expertise level which now translate into a continuing cycle of “development learning and sharing”; thus increasing mutual benefits to the stakeholders, proponents, clients, consultants, and thereby helps sustain and maintain these extremely limited resources and making them available for continuing future development requirements.
