MIRO Consultancy and Training

Two consultants, also offering their combined experience and expertise

Who are we?

We are MIRO Consultancy and Training, consisting of two consultants: Mischa Heeger and Rosanne van Halm. We both work as (interim) consultants and we also collaborate and combine our experience and expertise where needed.

Mischa is specialized in organizations and management and rosanne is a controller (business/finance/project). Together we offer a unique combination of complementary expertise and backgrounds on organizational, operational and financial management for (local) NGO’s. We are specialized in USAID funding, and can support in navigating the USAID rules and regulations. We work from our own experience and combine practice with up-to-date theoretical knowledge.

MIRO can provide support in pre-award surveys, organizational capacity assessments, compliance adherence, training on rules and regs and mentoring of new recipients to enable optimal performance. For USAID recipients/partners, either new, expected or established, MIRO can support proposal development including budgeting, award negotiations, and setting up systems that follow the rules and regulations of USAID to gain and maintain funding with the ultimate goal of making a bigger impact in project implementation and international development.
