It's been a real pleasure working with the CID team. We're very appreciative to the team's efforts, and for allowing us to lean on CID's expertise over the course of the past few months. I have to also say you have been incredibly great listeners and thought-partners; two qualities which I believe added a lot of value to the conversations we've had.
Partnering with CID on gender mainstreaming has been a genuine learning journey for our Foundation. CID helped us kickstart a crosscutting theme our 2023-2028 strategy identified as critical, adding a much-needed gender lens through foundation-wide capacity building and close partnership on our gender strategy. Gender is now part of our project cycle, our implementing partners are engaging with it, and we are reviewing our internal policies through the same lens. What set CID apart was their professionalism and flexibility. They met us where we were and empowered our team, leaving us with tools and a mindset that will outlast the project.
We worked closely with CID on the Community Engagement Plan for our Lazoghly Complex in Downtown Cairo, and it was a very positive experience. From project initiation, the team showed a strong understanding of the local context and the importance of engaging thoughtfully with the surrounding community in such a unique and historic area. The CID team’s communication was clear, efficient, and easy to work with, keeping us fully updated throughout the process. Their reporting was equally strong. CID brought a knowledgeable, committed, and approachable team to the project.
It has been a pleasure working with the CID team on the development of a strategic communication
plan for the education reform program. They have delivered outstanding work, from the situational
assessment to the implementation plan, showcasing a deep understanding of the education ecosystem and of our needs. Throughout the assignment, they have been a knowledgeable, reliable and supportive consultant, and, through their innovative approaches, have managed to deliver truly actionable and impact-centered recommendations to the Ministry of Education which will greatly support the reform journey
A quick note before my last day tomorrow to thank you all for the great support and advice you have given to me and the business since we entered Egypt. It’s added great value to our decision-making, from your understanding of the political dimension, to how issues will be perceived ‘on the street’. You have covered all the angles! You are a great team, and I will very much miss working with you all. Hopefully we will get the chance to work together again in the future. I know that Diana is very much looking forward to working with you, looking ahead. Meantime, keep doing what you do.
Yesterday we successfully delivered a truck to the NGO in Sharkia as part of the 2022 social impact project, continuing our commitment to community support in partnership with the NGO.
We are relying on the Sharkia team to follow up with the NGO and ensure regular quarterly reports, and we remain available for any needed support.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to making this happen. Special thanks to our consultancy, CID, for your valued efforts, and to the Plant team for the well-organized setup.
The CO-OP partnership between AUC School of Business and CID Consulting is exemplary. The professionalism and responsiveness of CID supervising mentors coupled with CID’s rich technical setting is conducive to a great six-month learning experience for our students.

We are pleased to confirm USAID’s approval of the needs assessment report. Thank you to the CID team for the hard work and professionalism that made this possible. Olivier also extends his appreciation to the team for their valued efforts.
I would like to seize this opportunity to thank CID Consulting for all their hard work throughout the COVID-19 lockdown situation and all the constraints we are all going through, as well as for their patience in processing the assignment.We now hope there will be a strong commitment from the key decision-makers to implement the recommendations of the report through the project and look forward to a successful operationalization of these recommendations.
This is to express my great gratitude to CID for a long, impactful, and economically successful partnership and cooperation over several decades. GFA has cooperated with CID at multiple fronts and implemented dozens of multi-million Euro projects and studies related to the development of the Egyptian economy in particular to, private sector development, industrial reform, and vocational training.The partnership was strong and grew even stronger in troubled times, resting on the trust built over time and the dedication of both teams to outstanding quality standards in service delivery.
The team and I really enjoyed the process of rebranding our companies with CID. We had just come out of a major restructure and the CID team helped us shape strategic direction on both a brand and business perspective. Their team had the perfect balance between creativity of marketeers and the acumen of management consultants.

CID’s professional and timely commitment really has helped us kick start our innovation process.Thank you for making this happen!
