PUM - Netherlands Senior Experts
PUM has played an important role in the field of international development assistance for the past 28 years, sending senior experts to more than 80 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. Upon request, PUM’s experts offer their skills and experience to businesses and organisations in places where these are most needed. PUM projects are intense and generally take two till three weeks.

PUM’s goal can best be defined by the following challenging phrase: Work defeats poverty. The programmes are geared towards fighting poverty and encouraging sustainable development in social free-market economies around the world. This goes hand-in-hand with building a healthy and free society. To accomplish this task, PUM strives to improve business climate, stimulates the creation of new employment and assists with the changeover to cleaner means of production. In order to ensure a favourable business climate, PUM maintains close ties with foreign unions, employers' organizations, chambers of commerce and creditors. And last but not least, PUM mediates between clients and Dutch firms. Co-operation is essential to future development.
