About OPM
OPM was established in 1996 as an independent research-based consultancy, having previously been part of the University of Oxford.
We have an international reputation for independence, rigour and informed analysis plus the ability to provide practical assistance in solving clients’ problems.
We provide high quality analysis, advice and support in the design and implementation of economic and social development policies primarily in poor and middle income countries. We aim to strengthen the public institutions in charge of those policies and, through them, to contribute to improved economic and social outcomes.
OPM is a leading consulting practice in the field of international development. Our consultants are professionally respected in their specialist fields, with a reputation for combining intellectual leadership and rigour with the practical know-how and ability to develop solutions that work.
OPM has an international reputation for combining analytical rigour with practical know-how. Key aspects of the way we work include: rigorous policy advice derived from both research and practical experience; a core group of full-time staff and Associates who can deliver a distinctive OPM product; and, a strong back office administration team to support project management.
From its original focus on sub-Saharan Africa, over the years OPM has progressively expanded its geographic reach to work in over 90 countries with a wide range of clients in Africa, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and transition countries, throughout Asia and the Middle East, and in central and southern America.
Based in Oxford, OPM has country offices in India, Pakistan and South Africa, providing access and support to a much larger network of organisations and independent consultants across the globe for specific project needs.
