Madrid-based Daryl Upsall Consulting International has opened an office in Shanghai, China, with the appointment of Sarah Bissell as Senior Consultant for the South East Asia Region.
DUCI’s Chief Executive Daryl Upsall said: “In recent years many international NGOs have contacted us regarding how they can evaluate the market for fundraising and in other cases how they can simply get stated with building a fundraising programme in China.
“Now with our opening in Shanghai and with someone with the knowledge and expertise of Sarah Bissell we can be confident that DUCI can meet these needs.”
The agency will be offering new market development services in China, and fundraising services for established nonprofits in China.
