Integra is an international development firm with a fresh and modern perspective. We understand that the 21st century presents unique development challenges. Climate change and resource degradation threaten livelihoods now more than ever. Together with rising global consumption and increasingly interconnected financial markets they have made food security a pressing challenge for many developing countries. Free trade and global integration present both opportunities and challenges for economic growth, and advanced technologies offer new possibilities for economic inclusion, business growth, and citizen participation in government. Integra takes a forward thinking and results oriented approach that understands these dynamics and offers clients a reliable partner, one that operates with integrity.
