Annual learning and Strategy day.

As the Osman Consulting team we held our annual learning and strategy day on the 28th of July 2026 where we took time to reflect on last year’s achievements, successes, setbacks and lessons learnt. We managed to discuss our work which is immensely shaped by core Humanitarian Principles in each project we implement.  We appreciated the dedication shown by our colleagues who are ready and willing to travel to disaster-stricken areas with enthusiasm and sheer determination. Our recent travels to Venezuela, Sudan, Bosnia and Herzegovina among many other countries have not only strengthened our team but have re-ignited in us a fire to continue showing up in times of crises.

We reflected on our role as a private company within the humanitarian sector, comparing our recent progress with previous years. This included improvements in implementation, learning, policy development, and stakeholder engagement, alongside strong results in compliance, fund optimisation, and the use of lessons learned to inform future programmes. We also considered how stronger grassroots delivery, localised implementation, and context-led design have helped us support the work of many charities and INGOs worldwide.

We are also especially proud of our internally developed customisable monitoring and evaluation tool ATLAS which has been pivotal in the streamlining of our work and we are happy to have complemented our technical expertise with our long-lasting engagement with training and capacity building that now allows us to count more than 270 trained enumerators Worldwide within a network of more than 100 partners around the world.

We are also encouraged by the growth of our seasonal, humanitarian, and disaster management work in South America, as well as by stronger relationships across our network. This progress has been driven by close internal collaboration and a consistent commitment to reviewing and improving our own systems, helping us strengthen innovation and the quality of our work.

As we continue to grow, our focus remains on improving our methods, expanding our reach, and responding quickly in hard-to-reach areas. The next chapter will be shaped by people-centred projects that uphold humanity, independence, neutrality, and impartiality at the heart of our work. To close the day, each team member received a thoughtful internal award recognising their contribution and the role they play in setting a positive direction for the year ahead.
