ADC supports SOCIEUX+'s knowledge management efforts

16 April 2025

Last Thursday and Friday, ADC's Executive Director, Federico Martire, and Senior Disability Inclusion Expert, Janina Arsenjeva, attended the Kick-off seminar of SOCIEUX+ e-course ‘Labour market inclusion for Persons with Disabilities in low- and middle-income countries’ held at ENABEL's headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The workshop marked the beginning of the initiative. ADC has been trusted with the preparation of the course's content, a recognition of our company's experience in the field of disability rights and inclusion in international cooperation settings.

More than just a get together

The seminar was not a mere meet-and-greet. Participants from SOCIEUX+'s consortium members (namely, Expertise France, ENABEL, and FIAP) and invited guests from ILO and the Belgian government, worked alongside Federico and Janina to deconstruct and rebuild the concept of disability inclusion in the labour market. The aim? To lay the ground for a useful and accessible e-course aiming to reinforce the capacity of public institutions to embed a disability-inclusive approach to employment policies and practices.

Building upon and expanding SOCIEUX+'s experience

SOCIEUX+ is an EU co-financed facility that brings European expertise in the field of social protection, labour, and employment to countries across the globe, on the demand of partner institutions. Over the course of the years, the programme has accumulated a significant amount of knowledge and experience: this will represent the basis of ADC's work for the development of the e-Course. But there's more: a robust human rights-based approach will be applied, alongside experiences and good practices from the Global South that can pinpoint the path to inclusion in employment.

And now? Next steps

Following workshop, ADC consulting team will w ork to review SOCIEUX+'s actions in the field of disability inclusion, finetune the definition of the target groups, and work to ensure accessibility and inclusivity throughout the course.

Agile Development Consulting - Why, What, and How

14 April 2025

Agile Development Consulting (or ADC for friends) is still a young consultancy company, but with a bold vision for a fairer, more inclusive, and more sustainable world. We provide services in strategic advice, knowledge and learning management, and monitoring and evaluation; all within the realm of international cooperation.

We anchor our work in the belief that our world and development models are not fair, just, nor sustainable. That’s why human rights, inclusion, and a focus on the most marginalized are the compass for every aspect of our work.

Yes, we’re a young company with still plenty to learn! And yes, we operate in a highly competitive business environment, in a difficult international setting where standing out from the crowd is neither easy nor, sometimes, advantageous. And yes, we know that nowadays offering certain expertise can be met with skepticism. Yet we firmly believe our values-driven approach can make a difference. By balancing strategic orientation, advocacy, and sensitivity to cultural and socio-economic diversity, we help our clients deliver impactful results and build consensus.

Underpinning our daily work are the principles of respect, inclusion, integrity, ethical innovation, and participation. This is all enshrined in our Charter of Values, which every team member and collaborator pledges to uphold. At ADC, we believe that sustainable growth and opportunities can only thrive in an environment built on mutual understanding, honest cooperation, and equal partnerships.

As founders, we bring over 15 years of professional experience in international cooperation, coupled with a strong ethical foundation shaped by a human rights-based approach. We’ve learned - and just as importantly, “unlearned” - a great deal along the way. Now, we want to put that journey to work for anyone striving for a brighter future, whether in the public or private sector, for-profit or non-profit, global North or global South. If our values resonate with you, ADC can be your partner in action.
