GSDO promotes social inclusion worldwide, supporting the rights of vulnerable and marginalised groups and their access to social services, education and the labour market. We help creating livelihoods and providing basic infrastructure for refugees and displaced people, and we address gender issues, civil society involvement, women’s and children’s rights in projects aiming at creating equal opportunities for everyone.

GSDO develops transport strategies around the world through direct support to transport authorities, drafting of sector strategies and development plans, technical expertise in the prioritisation and development of investment projects and PPP schemes as well as the sound management of public and donor funds for the development of transport systems, including corridor-based networks like the TEN-T, TMN-T and Motorways of the Sea.
