“I have learned to know Joost as a reliable and strong conceptual consultant. Having worked for Synergo, he has done an excellent job in coaching and building the capacity of the LYDIA Foundation in Saranda, Albania. We have successfully cooperated for five years: hired Joost as a Capacity Building Consultant and hired Joost more than once.”  

“The teaching on Project Cycle Management (PCM) which Joost facilitated was highly effective in enabling community development trainees to understand the need for good project planning and begin to develop skills of problem analysis and project design using a variety of planning tools. Joost gave his teaching for one week within our FCD-school and we are highly satisfied!”

“Mr. Joost G.H. Vermeulen has done an excellent job in preparing and delivering the online Modules 1 & 4 of the Innovation Coaches Training implemented by AMBERO Consulting from September 2022 till October 2023.

In 10 online-sessions of 1.5 hours he taught the more than 25 participants the basics of how to implement Value Chain Analyses, including setting up a VC-map.

Joost was at all times a very pleasant, reliable, dedicated and competent trainer and colleague! Thanks to him we not only managed to conduct successfully Module 1 (his core competence) but he was also a crucial and great support for structuring the whole training program. I would also like to mention his ability to identify and compare the strengths and weaknesses of digital communication and work platforms (including setting up courses on Atingi).

I can totally recommend him and I am already looking forward to the next collaboration with him.”
