How we evolved
It all started with a simple idea in 2014: Let’s build a development consultancy firm where the only priority is to help those in need better. Profit, image, politics are all secondary.
Do good, better!
How?
Our concept is different: As a social enterprise, we help organizations, social enterprises, humanitarian agencies, B-Corps and socially responsible private corporations around the world to do better. Our MzN – International Development
Experts support with insights into:
Consultancy such as digital and agile transformation, strategic business development, organizational restructuring and capacity building.
Funding support and finance advice to help to secure and grow your organizational funding streams.
Tailored trainings and events for decision-makers of change making organizations such as social enterprises, NGOs and other corporations working in the development and humanitarian field.
Proposal writing
We are guided by a strict ethical code, a willingness to challenge conventional thinking and we work a bit different to what many expect. This mindset aligns our thinking with that of our clients. All our decisions are made with the efficiency and success of our projects in mind, even if it means hurting the bottom line.
OUR VALUES
TRANSPARENCY
Wherever we can, we publish what we do and our results, good and bad.
SUSTAINABILITY
We have built a strong and durable company that is here to stay. We take full account of our environmental impact.
CAN DO ATTITUDE
We attract, retain and develop the best talent worldwide. We challenge each other to do better and adopt a “can-do” attitude.
INTEGRITY
We take responsibility, are unyieldingly honest, say what we mean and match our behavior to our words. Always!

Director International Programm Team, IRC UKMzN has only been working on difficult assignments. I've enjoyed a trust relationship which has facilitated the process and an openness to listen to requirements. MzN has posed relevant challenging questions and given feedback on the market which is useful to benchmark against.
