What We Do
Conflict Mapping
Our conflict mapping services are designed to offer a detailed and nuanced understanding of conflict patterns and trends. We employ a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to map out the geographical and temporal aspects of conflicts, identify key actors and stakeholders, and analyze the underlying causes and triggers. This process involves:
Data Collection and Analysis: We gather data from multiple sources, including field surveys, interviews, and secondary data from reliable sources. Our team uses advanced analytical tools to process and interpret this data, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Stakeholder Mapping: Identifying and understanding the roles and relationships of various stakeholders involved in the conflict, including governmental entities, non-state actors, local communities, and international organizations.
Conflict Trend Analysis: We track and analyze the evolution of conflicts over time, identifying patterns and forecasting potential future developments. This helps in understanding the cyclical nature of conflicts and planning appropriate interventions.
Political and Security Risk Assessments
Our conflict mapping is complemented by thorough political and security risk assessments. We provide actionable insights into the potential risks and threats posed by conflicts to various stakeholders, including governments, NGOs, and private sector entities. These assessments are crucial for strategic planning and decision-making in conflict-prone areas.
Conflict Impact Assessments
Understanding the impact of conflicts on communities and institutions is vital for effective intervention. Our conflict impact assessments evaluate the socio-economic, political, and humanitarian impacts of conflicts, providing a holistic view of the consequences and aiding in the development of targeted responses.
