Welcome to Brokering Development Solutions,
where strategy meets impact in fragile and conflict-affected regions
Brokering Development Solutions (BDS) helps NGOs, multilateral institutions, and purpose-driven companies navigate disruption, form strategic alliances, and scale impact. With deep expertise in fragile and conflict-affected states, BDS offers high-level advisory on Gulf engagement, localisation strategies, and donor diversification. From designing private sector strategies on forced displacement with IFC to brokering partnerships for Syrian and Palestinian-led initiatives, BDS drives results where innovation, diplomacy, and development intersect. Whether facilitating strategic convening or aligning with the EU-GCC agenda, BDS delivers tailored, cross-regional solutions to build sustainable, locally led change.
Our team brings decades of experience in fragile and conflict-affected settings, combining global expertise with deep local insight to deliver lasting impact.
We design adaptive, forward-thinking solutions that respond to real-world complexity — aligning innovation with your mission and context.
We work closely with every partner, tailoring strategies that reflect your goals, values, and operational realities — ensuring relevance and results.
We support organizations in designing fundable, multi-actor programs that align with global standards. Our approach includes strategic co-design, Theory of Change development, and value alignment.
We help international organisations, local and international NGO’s, family offices and government stakeholders both in USA, Europe and the Arabic Gulf to design and execute bold new strategies
We guide organizations to align with the latest aid transparency and impact standards, and help you to comply with specific donor reporting and MEL compliance regulations
At GFA we are strategizing how to engage with new markets. The Arabic Gulf is one of these. Brokering Development Solutions advised us not only what counterparts in the GCC states would be best to engage with, but also gave a unique reflection on the best approach to take and what our very own successful proposition to that market could be.
I highly recommend Yannick, a senior development aid executive distinguished by exceptional strategic thinking skills, a broad and influential professional network, and a strong capacity to quickly grasp and navigate complex situations.
In times of reshaping strategies for international cooperation, Yannick has proven to be the accelerator we need. Reinforcing our localisation and knowledge collaboration approach, maximizing opportunities of engagement with new and existing partners, and exploring new avenues and alliances. Always with the utmost respect for our organisational DNA, nonetheless never hesitating to challenge us at the same time.
