Our Story

RMDG Global began its journey in Melbourne in 1997 — not as a typical consulting firm, but as a collective of thinkers and practitioners who believed that development must grow from within a society’s own culture, values, and aspirations. What started as a small network of like-minded professionals has evolved into a vibrant, virtual consortium connecting experts across continents — from Asia and the Pacific Islands to Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Australasia.

For nearly three decades, RMDG has been bringing together globally recognised specialists who share a common purpose: to advance inclusive, sustainable, and equitable development in ways that truly reflect the people and contexts they serve.

In a post-COVID world shaped by rapid change, RMDG Global now operates through a flexible virtual platform — agile, collaborative, and deeply grounded in local realities. The network continues to bridge ideas and action, combining global experience with cultural insight to co-create solutions that endure.

Today, RMDG Global stands as a community of learning and innovation — one that works with, not for, governments, development partners, and citizens. Guided by empathy, creativity, and respect for local wisdom, RMDG continues to craft pathways for transformation that are as human as they are effective.
