We are an international development firm specializing in four pivotal domains that collectively aim to promote prosperity and resilience, specifically in conflict-affected and fragile contexts. Our expertise spans Research and Analysis, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning, Institutional Strengthening, and Social and Behavior Change Communication.
We aim to enable and empower communities under pressure from conflict or its aftermath, and in underdeveloped states more generally, to reclaim their own agency, and build prosperous economies and resilient societies.
What do we do?
We harness the power of evidence and data to co-design and deliver solutions that contribute to transforming the extraordinarily vulnerable communities we serve.
We collaborate with governments, civil society organizations, international aid and development organizations, and corporations through a combination of robust, data-driven research and deep, place-based engagement to make international development more effective, inclusive, and sustainable. We harness the power of evidence and data to co-design and deliver solutions that contribute to transforming the extraordinarily vulnerable communities we serve.
Founded in 2009, we have delivered over 120 projects across multiple sectors for over 100 clients in Afghanistan.
