Our Current Projects - Spring Semester 2023
unicef côte d’ivoire
UNICEF operates in Côte d'Ivoire and across the globe to assist the most vulnerable children. Their mission is to ensure these children can access essential services such as quality healthcare, nutritious food, clean water, and education. The NGO is committed to safeguarding these children from violence and exploitation, regardless of their origin or place of residence.
Our team will analyze the social and macroeconomic environment in Cote d’Ivoire to inform the Social Policy program and then provide a detailed analysis of the national budget of Côte d’Ivoire. Secondly, the consultants will assist some of the country’s small social enterprises with the creation of business plans and market analysis.

180DC will assist a Bolivian co-operative which is producing high-end furnitures. In order to boost their efficacy, an inventory management system will be developed to keep track of furniture available in stock, upload photos and communicate with the center.
