STEP IN, STAND OUT

Through our work with CSOs across our target regions, we identified a critical gap: the disconnect between international actors and the lived realities of rights holders. While global institutions are committed to delivering sustainable support for displaced populations, misrepresentation and limited contextual understanding often result in misguided funding and ineffective strategies.

At UiN, we believe in the power of evidence. Through research and field-based needs assessments, we provide international organizations and public institutions with grounded, actionable insights. This ensures their interventions are informed by real needs, not assumptions, maximizing impact where it matters most.

UiN was founded by a team with firsthand experience of involuntary migration, we’ve lived the challenges, received support from NGOs and public institutions, and emerged as changemakers.

Our journey fuels our purpose: to empower organizations that uplift displaced communities. We work alongside NGOs and public institutions to ensure their efforts continue to create future changemakers, strengthening communities for the long run.

Because this is where we come from, and this is where we can make the biggest difference.

Our team understands the realities of both regions, we’ve experienced displacement, pursued education, gained expertise, and mastered the tools needed to bridge the cultural and systemic gaps. Our deep-rooted knowledge allows us to deliver research, insights, and solutions that truly reflect the needs of both communities.

While NGOs execute humanitarian and development projects that improve the lives of refugees and involuntary migrants, we support NGOs and public institutions in making those projects more effective.

Our role is to strengthen decision-making through research, insights, and tailored strategies by providing:

* High-quality research papers

* Evidence-based proposals & grant applications

* Policy recommendations

* Strategic communication materials

In short, we don’t run projects, we ensure they’re designed and implemented based on real data, real needs, and real impact. But at the core, we share the same mission: to help vulnerable people access their rights in an increasingly challenging world.

Our partners include civil society organizations (CSOs), public institutions, social enterprises, and other legally registered entities working to enhance the livelihoods and resilience of rights holders. Whether operating at a local, national, or regional level, we collaborate with actors committed to inclusive development, social impact, and sustainable outcomes, across small, medium, and large-scale initiatives.
