Social Research, Strategic Planning & Policy Development

Our team of specialists understands the profound impact of policy across the wide range of issues facing the Horn of Africa. We support governments, private firms, and civil society organizations as they navigate complex decisions at the intersection of legislative, political, regulatory, and commercial considerations. In close collaboration with our clients, we undertake the full spectrum of public policy work from research, design, and analysis to strategic planning, evaluation, and stakeholder consultation. Our ultimate goal is to provide actionable, evidence-based recommendations that enhance the relevance, efficiency, and impact of decisions at every stage of the policy process. We deliver this support through three core, interconnected services;

• Policy Design & Mapping - We conduct intensive research and stakeholder engagement to develop new policies or refine existing ones, using visual mapping to give clients a holistic view of their strategic landscape.
• Policy Analysis - Employs a systemic approach that integrates sectoral expertise with a full spectrum of economic, social, political, and cultural factors, ensuring recommendations are contextually grounded.
• Strategic Planning service - Helps clients define and achieve long-term goals through facilitated workshops, in-depth research, and tailored advisory support, culminating in robust planning documents and executive presentations. The result is actionable evidence translated into feasible, funded, and implementable strategies.
