Finnish Overseas Consultants (FinnOC) Ltd

is a global consultancy company providing services in planning, procurement and implementation of sectoral development projects.

Road, Transport and Management Systems

We specialize in road engineering, asset management, and construction supervision, providing customized solutions for both rural and urban transport sector projects.

FinnOC supports public sector clients in managing road assets by developing comprehensive Road Asset Management Systems (RAMS), from the initial concept through to implementation, ensuring long-term sustainability.

Our expertise spans pavement and bridge management systems, HDM-4, and GIS technology, allowing for effective road maintenance and the integration of environmental and socio-economic considerations into decision-making processes.

Climate Change

We prepare climate change profiles and scenarios while advising clients on enhancing the resilience of their projects and assets against climate impacts.

Our multidisciplinary experts identify, evaluate, and quantify climate risks and vulnerabilities, assess environmental hazards, and conduct climate change impact assessments. Additionally, we develop climate change adaptation plans and policy reform proposals.

By integrating climate change considerations into our sustainable transport projects, we generate co-benefits such as improved air quality, traffic safety, and enhanced mobility.

Capacity and Institutional Development

We understand the challenges professionals face in keeping up with new developments and believe that continuous education and training are key to driving institutional change, improving efficiency, and boosting productivity.

We offer comprehensive capacity and skills assessments, along with tailored training plans and services. Our capacity assessments take into account your organization’s goals, structure, resources, performance, and culture.

By using innovative, research-backed training methods, we ensure that programs are aligned with your specific learning objectives and audience needs.

Socio-economic and Environmental Studies

We deliver high-quality social and environmental research using both quantitative and qualitative methods, supported by advanced and cost-effective data collection technologies.

Gender equality and inclusion are central to our work, with a strong focus on women’s representation in our research. Our expertise includes Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA) and socio-economic studies, helping clients anticipate and mitigate potential project impacts.

Additionally, we offer expertise in renewable energy, providing comprehensive feasibility studies for solar, hydropower, and other renewable projects.

Procurement Management

FinnOC’s experts bring extensive experience from both public and private sector contracting through competitive bidding, ensuring a thorough understanding of the complexities involved.

We can manage the entire bidding process alongside the client, from preparing bidding documents to organizing pre-qualification, evaluation, and contract negotiations for the actual bidding competition.

Our team has successfully assisted clients in implementing various contract models, including performance-based road maintenance contracts, ensuring optimal value and long-term sustainability. Additionally, we ensure compliance with industry standards and adapt strategies to meet the specific needs of each project.

Rural and Social Development

We work with communities facing challenges like climate change, resource depletion, and remoteness from markets. By developing skills in agriculture, aquaculture, forestry, and business, we help improve livelihoods while promoting sustainable natural resource management.

Using participatory approaches, we engage all stakeholders to ensure lasting results. Beyond economic development, we focus on social issues such as combating Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and communicable diseases.

Climate resilience and adaptation are key aspects of our work, especially in rural communities heavily impacted by climate change.
