Who we are

From insight to impact

Radar Consultancy supports organisations working with people in fragile and conflict-affected settings, promoting accountability, evidence-based decision-making and learning for development.

We identify critical insights, design targeted initiatives and deliver bespoke solutions to promote peace, security and sustainable development in fragile and conflict-affected regions.

We provide grounded, innovative and multi-disciplinary capabilities. Our field teams and partners can reach hard-to-access areas, and our experts engage at both strategic and operational levels.

Our work spans Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and the United Kingdom, with deep local networks and long-term partnerships at the core of everything we do.

What we stand for

Three commitments behind every assignment

  • Accountability

    Evidence that shows what happened and why, so organisations can answer to the people they serve and the donors who fund them.

  • Evidence-based decisions

    Independent, triangulated analysis that gives decision-makers a clear view of the context before they act.

  • Learning for development

    Findings that feed back into programmes, so each phase of work is better informed than the last.
