Conocimiento, territorio y compromiso humano

Gerenssa is a company with more than 18 years of experience in consulting, particularly in the preparation, monitoring and evaluation of policies, programs and projects of social and economic development, in urban and rural contexts. We have worked with several bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies, with central government entities, departmental and municipal governments and with civil society institutions; we have regional experience in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Guyana, Mexico and Spain; we have generated presence and consolidated local work teams in the nine departments of the country, and internationally we have associate consultants in Georgia USA and El Salvador.

“Uno de los grandes desafíos que nos planteamos como equipo es el de incidir políticamente a partir del trabajo técnico riguroso y del compromiso humano.”

En cada espacio de diálogo y socialización con nuestras contrapartes y comunidades, procuramos recuperar la voz de quiénes son nuestros interlocutores: no únicamente como receptores o beneficiarios pasivos, sino como sujetos vivos, dignos y protagonistas activos de su propio desarrollo.

Creemos firmemente que el trabajo de campo es el núcleo insustituible de nuestra labor: es desde el territorio donde se conoce la realidad, se sienten las necesidades, se dialoga constructivamente y nunca se pierde de vista el fin último de toda política pública.

The institutional experience of GERENSSA includes more than 270 consultancies in different areas of work, we have special experience in the elaboration of baselines and intermediate, final and ex post evaluations, in projects related to urban development, such as real estate market studies, urban revitalization, neighborhood improvement, drinking water and sanitation, citizen culture,  mobility and urban transport among others, but we also have significant experience in rural areas, in issues related to social protection, human rights, gender, productive development, food security, community development, water resources management, among others.

Gerenssa has accompanied many of his studies, research, diagnoses, evaluations and baselines with audiovisual products, which have the potential to show the perspectives, conclusions and lessons learned in a concise and agile way, and above all in a creative, artistic and friendly way. The documentary video captures and transmits images that show the impacts or effects achieved through the different interventions. Audiovisual products show the lights and shadows of the actions undertaken, always proactively, and constitute a powerful instrument of political advocacy, awareness,training and social accountability.
