Since 1986, ICEA (Ingénieurs Conseil et Economistes Associés) has provided economic and management consulting services in the field of public services in emerging and developing countries. For nearly 30 years, ICEA’s area of expertise has been the economic, institutional, regulatory, tariff, financial, commercial and organizational aspects of public utilities, especially in the water and sanitation, energy, telecommunications, and waste management sectors. ICEA’s financial and institutional independence from all industrial and public or private groups is a guarantee of neutrality and objectivity for its approach to assignments. Its consultants endeavor to adopt an approach that is as pragmatic and practical as possible, with a view to formulating fully operational assessments and recommendations and assisting clients with decision-making and implementation in the field. They are placing the emphasis on speed and flexibility of action in order to give priority to solutions tailored to the needs of each client over standardized solutions which are often poorly adapted to specific national contexts. ICEA’s multisectoral approach also enables its staff to benefit from varied experiences and to get a fresh perspective on the clients’ issues.
