Why us?
Jennifer Schmidt Consulting is a small, agile and flexible company that can cover the lack of readily deployable resources in international organisations, governmental agencies or other consulting companies. Experts can, with very short notice, be sent to the field, in support of existing missions, or to assess potential programmes.
Because of our knowledge and extensive field experience, we can quickly identify key areas of concern and relevant stakeholders. We are efficient team players with the aim of timely and adequate delivery of tailor-made solutions. We are specialists with general knowledge of peacekeeping operations and the area or region we operate in.
Our strength is to draw up strategies and plan the implementation of them based on the political context and the required needs in a given situation. We can offer advice, coaching to heads of missions, and expertise. We also offer legal services related to international work (Codes of Conduct, negotiation of SOFA/SOMA’s, revision of SOP’s etc).
Jennifer Schmidt Consulting has a pragmatic and end-state oriented approach to its undertakings. The execution of a project is designed in accordance with the clients’ needs and desires. A mobile team of qualified specialists can be put together to carry out a particular operation, or we can work as part of an already existing team. We can also staff key positions to cover a critical gap in the build-up of a mission, or in times of crises. |
