Our Mission

THE BLACK PEARL HAS LONG BEEN PRIZED AS A SYMBOL OF PROSPERITY,PROTECTION, AND ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE.

Black Pearl consultants work at the nexus of international affairs, development, emergency management and disaster relief, providing wide-ranging expertise and experience to help our clients plan for and respond to risks and uncertainties across the globe to build a safer and more prosperous future.

A central focus of Black Pearl is helping people around the world feel safe and protect their futures through interventions in the areas of human health, sustainable agriculture, small business development, emergency management, and a range of program and project support.

Our diverse staff of consultants has decades of experience working in the field with indigenous communities, the extremely poor, refugees and victims of disaster and conflict in both the US and around the world. Collectively we have also worked with national governments throughout North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, as well as bilateral donors, multilateral donors such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, and several United Nations Organizations, such as UNOPS and FAO.

Black Pearl is a boutique international development consulting firm. Our philosophy is driven by our origins. We believe that smaller, tailored approaches to international development, program and project management, and emergency response can bring superior results to our customers and the people they serve. We also know that by staying small, we are able to stay affordable, nimble and deliver efficient, customized solutions to both our clients and our communities.

People come first in our world, and nothing is ever planned without developing trust with our clients and the communities they serve so that we can get a clear understanding of the challenges they face. We believe that when people are safe, healthy, and financially secure, they are empowered to make better decisions about other aspects of their lives and communities, whether it be environmental protection, childhood education or equitable governance.

“Black Pearl – let our knowledge work to your advantage, for a more secure and more prosperous world.”
