ADP

I am going to Nairobi, Kenya as part of my company's ADP Program. 


Employees who join the group sign up for 3-6 months projects in both developing countries and nonprofit headquarters.


ADP stands for Accenture Development Partnerships. 


Here is some information from Accenture's website on the group:

Accenture Development Partnerships (ADP) is a pioneering “corporate social enterprise” which employs an innovative not-for-profit business model as a means to channel the core business capabilities of Accenture to organizations in the international development sector.
Our mission is to have a catalytic impact on global development challenges by:

  • Providing development sector organizations with access to Accenture’s people, knowledge, methodologies and frameworks, and global network.
  • Teaming with our clients to help them become high-performance organizations, applying Accenture’s business and technology experience to help them fulfill their missions and maximize their impact.
  • Advancing solutions to development challenges which are scalable, sustainable and outcome-oriented.
  • Fostering collaboration and partnerships between the public, private and non-profit sectors in order to address global development challenges.
We aim to achieve this mission by providing our clients in the international development sector with access to Accenture’s full range of management consulting and technology services via a model that is affordable, sustainable and scalable:

  • Accenture makes a contribution by providing consultants at marginal cost, free of profit and overhead, to work on ADP assignments worldwide.
  • Our employees accept a voluntary salary reduction (of up to 50 percent) for the time they are working on ADP assignments, which represents a significant personal contribution to the program and to our clients.
  • Our clients make a contribution by paying fees at not-for-profit rates which aim to cover this reduced cost base.
