Our collaboration with Rozvojmastri team started in 2018. We have noticed their activities in development business sector and have participated in various events and meetings organized by RM because we were interested in business opportunities outside our standard region.
At the beginning we were worried and respectful of the conditions and environments
unknown to us. That is why we were also hesitating whether we would really engage in
interesting projects. RM helped us to assess possible benefits and risks and thanks
to their help and the impression we had of meetings and events organized within RM
activities we decided to take advantage of the current opportunity where we
participated in the tender process and won the contract with UNDP to develop the
functional specification of information system for the Ministry of Transport and
Maritime Affairs in Montenegro. The contract value was $ 29,000 and the project
lasted 4 months.
Although we had to learn new rules and respond to unexpected events, we eventually
managed it without major problems. It was thanks to the help of RM, who were always
willing to help, advise or explain the rules required by IFIs. We can confirm that
they are always able to help by knowing the environment and the rules and they try
to support the realized projects to become successful and bring expected result.
We have become acquainted with RM activities in 2015. Since then, we have participated in various events organized by RM, business missions, seminars, coaching sessions and we also received support with preparation of bid documents and finding project partners.
We really appreciate the practical approach RM applies. This is largely aimed at
getting
information from the source of IFIs that are potentially interesting for our
consulting
business. Through these contacts, we have been successfully involved in several
assignments at the EBRD – these initial references helped us to expand our
development
business and to win additional consulting projects related to property & tourism
sector
in Mongolia and Kazakhstan.
RM is able to facilitate contacts and relevant information which otherwise is
complicated to retrieve. This is thanks to the expertise of the RM staff as they
have a
proven track record in working with the IFIs. Due to the pleasant cooperation with
RM
we’ve had the opportunity to work on very interesting consulting projects in
Central/Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
