In today’s dynamic world, success can only be achieved through hard
work, ability, skill and know-how. All these call for manpower
development, organizational adjustment and organizational adaptability.
Earthsavers Research and Consultancy Bureau (ERCB) is a Ugandan
firm, duly registered with the Registrar of Companies in the Ministry
of Justice and Constitutional Affairs. We are a fundraising arm of
Earthsavers Movement Uganda Chapter – an indigenous NGO. The firm is
staffed with able consultants in the fields of projects and general
management, finance, computer science, agriculture, economics, gender
analysis, disability, community based rehabilitation, participatory
approaches, micro finance, poverty alleviation, training needs
assessment, education, cultural heritage, environment protection,
strategic planning, social mobilization, sustainable development
strategies, NGO landscape, income generating activities and the entire
social sector in general.
The main thrust of our very existence is to assist our clients
in developing and improving their skills in the fields mentioned above.
Doing the work calls for various methods and activities ranging from
process consulting to task consulting. We also organize and conduct
workshops when there is need.
ERCB’s permanent and semi – permanent consultants have carried
out several assignments. We have worked for Government Ministries and
International. Our input to various organizations has created positive
change and we are using their expertise to review and improve other
organizations and projects.
Types of assignments
Feasibility studies
Our consultants have assisted many companies and organizations
in writing feasibility studies. They have also offered investment
advise to clients in order to ensure that the clients are not left
alone. Their success is our pride. It is cost effective to conduct
feasibility rather than implementing a project without a feasibility
check. The results could be disastrous.
Information Technology
Our consultants have assisted many individuals and companies
to develop Management Information Systems as well training in their
use. Other activities include computer training, software development,
website designing among others.
Project proposals and strategic plans
Several organizations have benefited from our expertise of
writing project proposals and strategic plans. Proposals we have done
have focused on every aspect of society, business and so many other
ventures. We have helped organizations, from medium to large, in making
strategic plans for varying years.
Environmental impact assessments and environmental audits
The firm has able consultants to handle EIPs and environmental
audits. Venture capitalists and government institutions and other
agencies shall benefit from these services. We conduct environmental
audits at the level of project formulation and/or completion. The
latter is applicable when National Environment Authority (NEMA) calls
for the same.
Organizational development
The business and organizational environment is very dynamic
and therefore organizations need to be adaptable. This calls for
organizational self assessment, development and restructuring the
field. Our consultants have earned a credit in helping organizations
conduct self-assessment in terms of improving service delivery,
governance, general management, financial management and the external
relations.
Manpower planning, selection, recruitment and development
Our consultants have helped many organizations in manpower
planning, identifying training needs and fitting the right person in
the right job
Business planning (Corporate planning)

Media consultancy and marketing promotions
Our media consultants have helped many corporations develop
state of the art media packages that have revolutionalised their
business operations. Particular works have been in the areas of
advertising, public relations, market research and promotions.
OUR FEES
The fee is based on skills, the need for the talents and the
fact that we give the client a state of the art service. We do not ask
clients to pay for the cheap, short cut methods and do not overcharge
for top-notch processes. We lay our fees on table and as a business we
do not settle for less than break even.
