At Osman Consulting, we don’t just respond to emergencies and disasters, we carry out research to understand the causes and drivers and to assess impact, thus helping to prevent future recurrence and maximise the effectiveness of humanitarian and stabilisation expenditure. 

​

We believe that the best research gives a voice to the individuals and communities we seek to help, people who are often marginalised or traumatised. We work at grassroots level and build trust by speaking to communities in their language and ensuring our research draws on their experience and expertise and responds to their needs.

​

Our research is grounded in our practical expertise and nuanced understanding of the context, underlying issues and root causes in unstable and crisis environments, while drawing on the latest best practice and academic insight. Our extensive networks make field research possible in locations where it is often restricted.
