Established in 2018 to support the delivery of more rapid, efficient, impactful, and accountable interventions in Syria, COAR Global Ltd. (COAR) is a consultancy purpose-built to operate sustainably in protracted crises and complex operational environments. Since its inception, COAR has expanded geographically and thematically, and has translated its experience in Syria into an integrated approach that allows our partners and clients to navigate the world’s most complex environments with intention and impact. Our work strengthens the impact, efficiency, and sustainability of interventions while enhancing risk management, preparedness, and stabilisation efforts. COAR challenges conventional approaches and recalibrates practices to align more closely with on-the-ground realities, enabling policymakers and implementers to design and deliver more agile and effective solutions in complex, fragile, and high-risk environments.

COAR builds networks where others cannot, providing the access, evidence and insights needed to implement accountable, ground-truthed, and data-driven interventions in complex and high-risk environments. Led by colleagues from the contexts in which we operate, COAR combines international expertise with hyper-local knowledge through a participatory approach that discourages hierarchies, strengthens collaboration and fosters disruptive thinking, translating a deep understanding of crisis dynamics into best practices and locally grounded solutions. COAR delivers timely, relevant and context-sensitive analysis and research, empowering our clients to maneuver efficiently and securely within crisis environments. Through a flexible package of dedicated services — spanning monitoring and reporting, accountability and due diligence, joint assessments, thematic analysis, capacity building, and market entry support — COAR enhances programmatic effectiveness and strategic planning.
