About Us

J.E. Austin Associates, Inc. (JAA) was founded in 1986 for the purpose of assisting businesses, governments, non-profit organizations, educational and financial institutions, producer organizations, and other organizations around the world to improve productivity, to enhance competitiveness, to strengthen management and strategy implementation, and to facilitate economic development.

JAA stresses facilitation and building local capabilities. The company, therefore, emphasizes the “downloading” of tools, methodologies, and approaches to local partners and ensures that they have the best information, lessons, and skills available to identify and implement initiatives most likely to achieve sustainable results. JAA believes that economic growth, competitiveness, and other development challenges are best addressed by empowering local stakeholders to own the development process.

Since 1986, JAA has completed more than 680 projects in 120 countries. In any given year, JAA’s professional staffers work on projects in more than 30 countries worldwide.

J.E. Austin Associates (JAA) has developed a set of values through which we guide our actions, processes, and programming. To achieve cohesion and unity, we expect that these values will extend to both our home office staff and our field staff. This is our social compact and our agreement as an organization for how we want to engage in work. 

  • Collaboration: Be willing to give and receive feedback, mentor others, promote learning, share experiences, and be intentional about building positive and high functioning teams.
  • Impact:  Co-create sustainable solutions to improve livelihoods and deliver results. 
  • Inclusion: Leave room for questions and let everyone’s voice be heard and valued equally.
  • Integrity: Do quality work in accordance with regulations and maintain a high degree of honesty.
  • Leadership: Be a thought leader and a day-to-day leader amongst your peers and be a leader who is adaptable, reliable, ethical, supportive, and creative. 
  • Respect: Assume the best in people and treat people well regardless of differences. 
  • Transparency: Be clear and open in communications, decision-making, and processes.
