Development Assistance
Improving living conditions for the world’s poorest citizens has been a hallmark of CDM Smith since its earliest assignments in the 1960s. Today—bringing experience with development-funded projects in more than 100 countries—we deliver and manage water and sanitation, transportation, energy, facilities, environmental and disaster assistance project and programs.
We provide expertise to bilateral donors and multilateral development banks for the benefit of host country partners in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. Our consulting, capacity building, program management, engineering and construction expertise helps alleviate global poverty through practical and sustainable solutions that foster economic growth, deliver sustainable infrastructure and strengthen institutions.

The importance of the work we do not only comes from partnering on critical infrastructure, but as important, from developing local capacity for sustained success.
