About US

At GOPA, we see every project and political challenge as an opportunity to shape a better tomorrow—one that uplifts communities, fosters resilience, and protects our shared environment. By enabling our partners to reach their goals, we help them navigate a path to a more sustainable future. 

For 60 years, we have worked alongside organisations, communities, and institutions to navigate the complexities of a changing world. Founded in Germany in 1965, we have grown into a trusted performer and advisor in international development, with over 1000 staff and a network of 5,000 experts delivering results across five continents.

Together, we deliver standalone and multidisciplinary solutions that tackle a broad spectrum of development needs—from energy engineering, infrastructure development and agriculture to economic development, governance, and beyond—creating transformational impact for people and institutions worldwide. Our work advances the Sustainable Development Goals, and in all our own offices, we have set climate targets to align with the Paris Agreement, ensuring that long-term sustainability underpins both our operations and the solutions we create. 

Guided by a commitment to excellence and sustainability, we strive to deliver results that meet the highest standards while prioritising solutions that endure. By combining global expertise with local knowledge, we design and implement approaches that are practical, thoughtful, and tailored to the needs of the people and places we serve.

In all the work that we do, we bring high-end technical expertise to realise the priorities set by governments, institutions, and investors. We transform their aspirations into tangible projects, implementing each one with precision, care, and measurable impact. Rather than charting our own course, we listen, align with their vision, and make it happen.

We think globally and act locally. Every project is an opportunity to drive change, strengthen institutions, and foster informed choices that lead to sustainable futures. We work across our clients' value chains, leveraging our expertise, innovation and creativity to address the risks and opportunities posed by global challenges.  Guided by the belief that dignity, resilience, and opportunity should be within everyone’s reach, we are committed to making a difference that lasts.

This is GOPA: a trusted partner for progress, a champion of sustainability, and a team dedicated to creating meaningful impact for generations to come.
