About me / About business or organisation:: I am an experienced development consultant working with the private sector and civil society in conflict and post-conflict environments. Based in Palestine since 2008, I have authored a number of articles on entrepreneurship in Palestine. I also serve as Project Manager for a DFID funded security sector reform project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

I hold degrees in international relations and business administration from Georgetown University and SDA Bocconi. In my free time, I design furniture and home accessories.

I'm about to embark on a Ethical project in Palestine because I think this land holds a lot of hide opportunity. In particular the project aims to upgrade some existing skills in the testile palestinian heritage, and in the same time to trig a series of marketing actions, in order to create a link between the artisans women and the international market. I'm curios to know more about the settings of your organization in Palestine...may be we could team up and share ideas... Ciao Ciao Moira

It is only part of what I do though. I like your soubriquet - 'Our mission is global and so are we' I would like to think that describes what Im trying to do: using globalistaion as a force for good not exploitation. I would apprecisate your advice. If you drop me a line at davidmcgill61@yahoo.co.uk I'll forward details and images.
