A brief introduction

overview
COAR provides custom-made, real-time solutions that bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering clients to achieve impactful outcomes through the delivery of sustainable, effective, and efficient interventions. COAR has supported clients in Syria, Myanmar, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, and Ukraine, and currently engages teams active from West Africa through Southeast Asia. These teams provide the granular insight and global expertise COAR’s clients need to execute their respective mandates and carry out innovative, context-appropriate actions wherever they work. COAR’s solutions fill system-wide information gaps and serve to ground-truth assumptions underpinning strategy, policy, and conflict-sensitive programming. This work reveals — and positions clients to address — underlying drivers of conflict and instability. All COAR products and services are bespoke, tailored specifically to client needs and target contexts.
