For stronger programs that generate cutting-edge, comprehensive solutions, Abt collaborates with government agencies and ministries, their beneficiaries, Tribes, and other organizations on program design and implementation. We provide the full range of technical assistance to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency and to enhance program performance.
