Research underpins all of our work. Whether assessing the effects of violent extremism on local markets, mapping right-wing propaganda on closed social media channels, or evaluating the long-term impact of development programming, our teams of local researchers collect thousands of data points each month both online and off.
We work with local experts and thought leaders to ensure our research is optimally tailored to local dynamics.
In Afghanistan, we used custom-built AI-enabled software to track and map attacks by violent extremist groups to inform a large-scale development programme.
