Mission statement
To address this gap, COAR has made it its mission to bridge policy and practice by grounding aid and development responses in comprehensive, context-driven research and analysis that enable policymakers and implementers to devise better solutions in increasingly complex, fragile, and high-risk environments. Through extensive local field networks, COAR brings forward the voices of conflict-affected communities, ensuring that outcomes and impact align with the realities of complex and rapidly evolving environments. By focusing on countries rather than sectors or funding streams, COAR operates at the nexus of humanitarian, resilience, stabilisation, early recovery, and development programming.
