About Sherpa for Development Consulting

Sherpa is a women-led socio-economic development consulting firm that was established in 2020 with a clear aspiration to support economic and human capital development. We offer consulting services in the areas of public policy in education, labor market & employment, youth, women empowerment, economic development, and government delivery.
