Since 2003, we have been helping companies to operate sustainably, ethically, and profitably in complex and fragile environments, and have developed effective approaches to address hostile or sensitive situations.
We work with clients, their partners and opponents to design customised solutions that create common ground and enable shared prosperity and a sustainable future. All the while, we take a scrip from the medical doctor on our team: prevention is better than cure; and especially in the event of acute crisis, the root causes of insecurity must be identified and treated.

Mapping Conflict Drivers in West Africa (Emmanuelle Diehl)
For more than a decade, ECAS has helped governments, multilateral agencies, and corporations to stabilise volatile environments. We specialise in designing violence reduction early warning and response systems and programmes to yield security outcomes without resorting to hard security measures.
Our toolbox for stabilisation and violence reduction includes community security systems, sub-national early warning and response activities, national and sub-national dialogue, conflict-sensitive area-based development programming, dispute resolution and mediation. We also work closely with security forces to normalise community relations and negotiate entry into violence-affected areas.

Our experts know much about the post-2015 development agenda – after all, they helped come up with it. From the development goals of the last millennium to envisioning the goals for this one, ECAS has been at the forefront of preventing conflict and building resilient communities through conflict-sensitive approaches and early-warning mechanisms.

Bottom-up stakeholder engagement and local capacity for conflict management, combined with strong conflict analysis, are critical to the ambitious and cross-cutting post-2015 development agenda.
We continue this work through a thriving conflict sensitive development practice. Our work for clients is about helping them better implement programmes in transition, fragile, and conflict-affected areas. We do this through a range of actions, including field research and analysis, monitoring and evaluation, programme design – and work on thematics such as climate resilience.
