Center for Operational Analysis and Research - COAR

COAR Global Ltd. (COAR) is a political risk and #development consultancy that supports the design and implementation of #humanitarian and development projects in complex and conflict-affected environments. COAR consists of researchers and analysts with varied expertise in academia, international development, and security. Founded and led by those directly affected by #conflict, our teams combine international and national researchers, and employ a participatory approach that discourages hierarchies, and encourages collaboration and disruptive thinking.

COAR serves the international community in volatile contexts and delivers real-time technical solutions, analysis, and insights to align operations with increasingly complex and dynamic environments. We go where others will not, and maintain active research teams in #Syria, #Myanmar, #Yemen, and #Libya. Our clients include the United Nations, the European Union, diplomatic missions, development banks, international NGOs, and international development companies. Our solutions fill system-wide information gaps and ground-truth assumptions underpinning policy and operations, thereby improving decision-making, safeguarding investments, increasing efficiency, and boosting impact. Products are tailored to client-specific needs, context, and include:

• Monitoring and regular updates:
• Thematic and strategic research;
• Location profiles;
• Safeguarding and programme assurance;
• Due diligence, entity and stakeholder analysis, investigations and risk assessments;
• Advisory, local insight, and bespoke recommendations.
