Technical Assistance and project preparation
We provide technical assistance solutions to facilitate project implementation and strengthen the capabilities of the stakeholders involved.
We enhance the impact of our interventions through strategic partnerships with other international development cooperation actors, leveraging national and European resources to support sustainable development initiatives.
Private operators may register in the Supplier Register to access collaboration opportunities with CDP in technical assistance activities.
Open tenders may also be consulted to explore ongoing opportunities related to active programmes.
