Gist Research

GIST is a research, advisory and project implementation company that focuses on conflict, governance, and peacebuilding. We work with governments, international organisations, and local community structures to inform, design and implement transformative strategies and projects. We provide a multi-disciplinary research capability, with dedicated field teams and local partners able to access hard to reach areas, and national and international experts engaging at strategic and operational levels. Our primary source access is complemented and reinforced through open source and remote sensing data exploitation. Learning from operating in the world’s most challenging environments, we have systematically developed tested capabilities to deliver across Africa, the Levant, the Balkans, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We work alongside clients, partners and stakeholders, bringing professionalism and passion to research, design and implement tailored solutions.
