DCS offers management, policy reform, educational, research, training, scholarship and evaluation services, among numerous others technical competencies. DCS’s technical engagements include financial services, management consulting, private sector development, public sector health, environmental management, gender, poverty alleviation, governance, and food security.

Fundamental to DCS's approach is to first understand the needs of our clients, stakeholders and the beneficiaries of our work. We do not follow the "one solution fits all" approach, but rather strive to develop customized solutions that address the unique situation and environment of each client.  Whether our client is a government, institution, community or individual, we place a strong emphasis on capacity building and participatory approaches to developing solutions that are client-driven and address their needs and challenges.  We bring stakeholders into our project design, and put great emphasis on involving the beneficiaries in project planning and decision-making. This participatory approach has proved to be a unique approach that is most effective in addressing and resolving deeply rooted development problems.

The DCS Approach enables us to:

•  Work with our clients to identify and understand needs and develop a solution-oriented implementation plan to address those needs
• Help project beneficiaries come together to articulate their needs, mobilize their resources, and plan and manage change
• Facilitate institutional capacity building and reform to assist governments to improve governance and promote effective resource management
