The Karama Group was founded on the belief that foreign assistance achieves its greatest impact when it is informed by accurate, ground-truthed understanding. After years of working in complex environments, our founders saw a recurring gap between strategic planning and local realities—often driven by limited access, constrained visibility, and the challenges of operating in highly sensitive contexts.
Recognizing the need for more reliable, context-driven insight, we established The Karama Group to help bridge this divide. Our focus is on ensuring that our partners have the information, perspective, and assurance required to operate responsibly, effectively, and in a manner that respects the dignity of the communities involved.
Our Story
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is grounded in the belief that meaningful advisory work requires analytical rigor, cultural understanding, and a strong sense of responsibility. We approach each engagement with care for context, respect for the people involved, and a commitment to supporting sound, well-informed decisions.
Our philosophy is anchored in three commitments:
Dignity — engaging with cultural awareness and respect for the people and contexts in which we work
Clarity — ensuring our assessments and recommendations are concise, transparent, and practical to apply
Responsibility — supporting careful, informed decision-making in sensitive or high-stakes environments
Accountability By Design
Discreet. Field Driven. Trusted.
Field-Informed
We rely on trusted local networks, direct observation, and rigorous triangulation to ensure that our findings reflect realities on the ground.
Our Approach
Independent
Our work is grounded in objective, evidence-based assessments and is not tied to any political, ideological, or institutional agenda.
Discreet
We operate quietly and professionally, with a strict commitment to confidentiality in all engagements and reporting.
Actionable
We focus on clear, concise, and practical outputs that directly support decision-making, portfolio management, and risk mitigation.
