PoliSync exists to improve the lives of communities around the world, including refugees, forcibly displaced persons, people affected by conflict, disaster, poverty, and lower-income communities, as well as future generations facing the impact of today's global challenges. We design and deliver innovative, practical solutions: connecting the humanitarian and technology sectors, building capacity of nonprofits serving those most in need, and ensuring evidence reaches and benefits the communities it concerns.
Our projects are independently designed and implemented — funded by governments and foundations who trust us to translate their investment into real impact on the ground. We bring together research, technology, data, and capacity building not as ends in themselves, but as tools in service of the communities we work with. We collaborate with international organisations, governments, and civil society partners globally.

Five pillars to support international policy engagement
-

Policy analysis
We conduct independent policy research on a range of global challenges. We apply rigorous research methodologies while respecting policy actors timelines, and we present research results in a constructive way that challenges business as usual and sparks creative thinking.
-

Capacity building workshops
We offer advanced policy skills and thematic workshops for current and future professionals working in international affairs. We also work with international organisations, governments and other stakeholders to custom-design trainings for their staff and delegates.
-

Data visualisation
We support actors collect, manage, analyse and visualise their data. We help them to tell stories with their data, in support of evidence-based policy-making.
-

Stakeholder & community engagement
We help connect evidence-based policy solutions with stakeholders and communities globally. We help actors clarify objectives, understand target audiences, design the right communications, UI and UX tools and connect with audiences through the right channels.
-

Technology Innovation
We offer technical expertise, advice and research on technology and innovation, including emerging tech, for local and international organisations and social impact-focused nonprofits and companies. We serve as an interlocutor between humanitarian, development and technology sectors, conceptualising, designing and managing community-inclusive, context-adapted innovative technology projects.
