Our Firm Tools 4 Knowledge SL, T4K is an international management consulting and training firm based in Spain, specialised in implementing technical assistance and consulting projects for international development organizations, governments and other Institutions involved in agriculture and food systems. T4K S.L. is a firm of international consultants, established first in 1996 as a unit of AcebucharForestal SL, and then in 2013, after a buy-out by its partners, incorporated as an independent company based in Madrid, Spain. Our perspective is thoroughly international. We have undertaken over 30 assignments in 25 countries in Europe, the Americas and Africa. For over 15 years we have built a solid track record advising companies and public agencies and institutions on issues relating to strategy, operations and management. The Firm works for private companies, public bodies (Public Agencies, Ministries and regions) and for international development aid and financing institutions (European Commission’s EuropeAid, the World Bank Group, IADB, UNDP, AECID, etc.). The fact that we have worked for our major clients on a continuing basis over many years is a testimony to the quality of our service. T4K has worked extensively with both public sector agencies and private sector clients, and has consequently a particularly strong understanding of issues that arise at the public-private interface.
