Navigating Complex Transitions in Fragile Contexts
Trias combines deep contextual knowledge, broad institutional experience and fresh perspectives to support clients through complex transitions in fragile contexts. We aim to support countries, communities and institutions transition from violent conflict to inclusive peace, humanitarian crisis to sustainable development, and entrenched instability to long term recovery.
Thematic Areas
Peace, Security
& Stabilisation
We work with partners to understand drivers of conflict, identify opportunities for prevention, co-design stabilization initiatives, facilitate dialogue, support peace processes and sustain peacebuilding initiatives.
Recovery, Resilience
& Development
We support national governments, development and humanitarian actors, and the private sector to plan and deliver a coordinated response in post-crisis settings, both conflict and disaster related.
Political & Economic
Transitions
We facilitate complex multi-stakeholder processes to plan, reform and build more inclusive and sustainable institutions.
Climate, Conflict
& Migration
We recognize the challenges for governments and communities that stem from the interrelationship between climate change, conflict and migration. We work in partnership with research institutions and national bodies to address these challenges.
Our Approach
We provide partnership and long term accompaniment to national governments, development and humanitarian actors, and the private sector. We value building trusting and flexible relationships, and prioritise reliability, responsiveness and learning.
We work on the practical implementation of policy: The reality of the nexus, the integration of best practice, the operationalisation of strategies and principles. We understand institutions and the challenging contexts in which they operate, and appreciate what it takes to get things done and make them stick.
We emphasise processes as well as results: We’ve learnt that often the approach is as important as the outcomes, the informal can be as valuable as the formal, and that sometimes unintended consequences can be significant.
