Our projects focus on policy and programming, research, needs assessments, perception studies, context monitoring, and monitoring and evaluation. We work on thematic areas such as governance, conflict resolution, political economy, informality, climate, migration, prevention of violent extremism, youth, gender, human rights, employment, health, water, food security, and WASH.
