"Work from Resource Consulting Services has been of consistently high quality and most helpful in finding solutions to modern day governance challenges the private sector, governments and civil society are facing in natural resources sectors in complex environments." Dr. Peter Eigen, Chairman, EITI
Resource Consulting Services (RCS) is a research, strategy development and implementation consultancy that provides considered solutions to clients’ challenges in extractive and agricultural sectors. We employ world-class analysis skills to develop practical strategies that are fact based and scientifically informed. Our analysis and strategies are matched with advisory, implementation and evaluation services throughout a project’s lifespan.
RCS has global reach drawing on core staff expertise and specialist in country specialists. Our range of products has helped the private sector, including extractive companies and investment banks, the World Bank, the US and European Governments and many others to better understand and help navigate otherwise concealed and previously unforeseen dynamics. As a result, RCS’ clients can better navigate vested economic and political interests, including governmental integrity and artisanal mining issues. RCS Clients capitalise on numerous identified opportunities, such as improved political and more effective economic relationships with relevant stakeholders.
For research and analysis purposes RCS has developed tailored Political Economy Assessment (PEA) and Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) methodologies to inform strategy development and advice. The PEA identifies and helps understand political and economic incentives that underlie stakeholder actions and the risks and opportunities that these present to projects and processes. The EIA identifies and understands detailed information on the intricate workings of economic systems and processes directly and indirectly impacting projects.
For strategy development and implementation purposes RCS provides relationship management and communication strategies in complex and challenging environments focussed on a wide range of stakeholders. Our wide range of experience and knowledge gained from working with communities, civil society, Governments and intergovernmental organisations, positions us uniquely to advise industry and others drawing on our unrivalled knowledge of how these sectors view and relate to political and business and political environments. This allows RCS to manage projects effectively in evolving and challenging environments assisting clients in promoting company values and wider reputation.
RCS provides key local knowledge to help facilitate investment into developing countries enabling our clients to understand integrity issues regarding persons and companies, trace beneficial ownership structures, revenue payments and conducts reporting on supply chain risk and management. RCS also advises companies on the development and implementation of international certification schemes for natural resources.
