Strategic partnerships that expand our reach

EBD Global Optimum was built on the CEO’s decade of hands-on experience with Global Environment Facility (GEF)–funded projects.

With ten years in the market, EBD Global Optimum is well positioned to support international organizations involved in development processes, particularly UN agencies, development banks, and NGOs.

Our core team and network of associated consultants bring a broad, multi-disciplinary, and geographically diverse skill set, gained through the successful execution of projects worldwide.

To deliver stronger and more comprehensive solutions, EBD Global Optimum has established strategic alliances with specialized partners:

  • In partnership with Antea Belgium (part of Antea Group) and NGO HIVOS, we conducted complex technical studies on climate adaptation and risk assessment in Belize and Timor-Leste, and supported the development of adaptation projects in Guinea-Bissau.
  • Working with Katalizar (Brazil), we developed a GEF International Waters project in 2024 focused on tackling plastic pollution.
  • Leveraging our Lusophone expertise, we developed projects in Mozambique and Angola in 2025 in collaboration with Data4Moz (Mozambique) and HolĂ­sticos (Angola).
  • For an innovative rice-production project in Chad (2025), we partnered with Irrawaddy Consulting (Belgium).

Across all our projects, we apply rigorous and internationally aligned methodologies, including stakeholder engagement, social and environmental safeguards, gender-responsive and socially inclusive approaches, and policy analysis.

EBD means “Ecosystems and Biodiversity” and “Global Optimum” means pursuing what is best for most.

With those ideas at the heart of our work, we embrace important global challenges, including climate. We are a female-led Brazil-based company with a unique perspective on global issues and the will to solve problems in smart ways.
