In 2017, IMC Worldwide continued to grow and deliver solutions that produce maximum social, economic and environmental value for disadvantaged communities around the world.

We delivered 132 projects across 48 countries with funding from donors such as the UK Department for International Development (DFID), World Bank, Caribbean Development Bank, USAID, Asian Development Bank, European Union, Islamic Development Bank and European Investment Bank. We also entered new countries, including Swaziland, Somalia, Jordan, Niue, Belarus and Armenia.
We expanded the range of services we offer and established new teams working across trade and investment, urban and resilient development, and water, sanitation and hygiene. Their establishment make us even better equipped to help tackle the greatest challenges of our time.
We continued to harness technologies to maximise the impact of our programmes on the lives of vulnerable people and work in fragile and conflict-affected states such as South Sudan to generate learning from and improve the impact of humanitarian aid delivery.
Our work has been recognised by organisations such as British Expertise and the UK Association for Consultancy and Engineering from which we received recognition and awards.
We believe that our responsibility in the world does not end with the programmes we implement.
From allocating £10,000 per year to our Charity Fund to support poverty alleviation initiatives in the regions where we operate through to joining the UN Global Compact, we reinforced our commitment to make the world a better place.
The people behind IMC, which grew to 124 permanent staff, are our greatest asset. Thanks to their talent, passion and hard work we achieved much during 2017, and are confident this will continue in 2018 and beyond.
