Who we are:
Integrity is an international consultancy and ethical service provider working in fragile, conflict-affected and complex environments around the globe.
We help our clients in government, international development and the private sector to succeed in these challenging environments, while building trust with and giving voice to local people. Our access and trust at a community level, combined with our global perspectives, produce powerful recommendations and deliver positive and sustainable change.
Our vision is to set the standard for ethically delivered, expert services in conflict, post-conflict and fragile environments. Through our work we help the international community transform conflict and build stability, accountability and prosperity. We do not advocate, we listen, comprehend and recommend. We implement based on evidence and learning.
Headquartered in London, Integrity operates regional offices in Lebanon, Turkey and Kenya. Our multi-national team of over 50 specialists has extensive experience of delivering complex programmes in fragile geographies across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
We deliver five key services: programme management and implementation / project and programme design, monitoring and evaluation / research and analysis / stakeholder engagement / capacity development.
