Our History
Insights for Action didn't begin in a boardroom. It began in the field where our co-founders spent years doing humanitarian work across the MENA region and kept asking the same question: are we doing the right thing, and are we learning from it? That question became a conviction, and that conviction became a firm.
Established in 2019 and formally registered since 2025, Insights for Action is a Beirut-based research and evaluation company working across Lebanon, Syria, and the wider region, bringing together local and international researchers as equals. We invest in our field relationships beyond any single project, hold ourselves to rigorous methodological standards, and write every report as if the people it describes will one day read it. We didn't set out to build just another research firm.
We set out to build a better one.
Work With Us: Expert Roster
As humanitarian, displacement, and peacebuilding challenges evolve across the MENA region, the need for locally grounded research is critical. We are building a collaborative expert roster of independent researchers, thematic specialists, policy analysts, and field evaluators to deploy for rapid-response studies, evaluations, and long-term research initiatives. IFA guarantees:
Ethical, Equitable Partnerships: We value regional knowledge, lived experience, and localized expertise. We build equitable research partnerships, not top-down transactional assignments.
Flexible, On-Demand Engagement: Access short-term deployable consultancies, aligned with your thematic focus and availability.
Regional Network & Knowledge Sharing: Connect with a peer network of MENA-based social scientists, policy experts, and humanitarian practitioners.
