Research Collaborative

Not all displacement crises are recorded and reported, often languishing in the shadows of emergency response and prevention. Although humanitarian assistance should be based on need, some crises receive more attention than others. In collaboration with universities, NGOs and social enterprises, we offer research-related initiatives to raise awareness of displaced people whose plight has received less public attention or has been misrepresented.

We are initiating a robust analysis through participatory research practices and ethnographic tools. By enabling affected citizens to conduct research & assessments in their own communities and everyday spaces, our aim is to understand best practices from their grassroot realities and together design effective programs for social impact.
