Our services

 Karama provides bespoke, high-quality consultancy services that help humanitarian actors improve the relevance, effectiveness, and impact of their work. 

Drawing on participatory methods and the practical expertise of our team, we support organisations to better understand and engage with local contexts, communities, and dynamics. 

Our services include tailored capacity sharing, strategic advisory, facilitation, and applied research—designed to meet the real-world challenges faced by humanitarian teams. 

With a strong foundation in practical, real-world experience and a commitment to principled, context-sensitive practice, Karama helps clients deliver aid that is more responsive, respectful, and locally informed. 

 Karama specialises in tailored context analysis, offering deep insights into complex humanitarian environments. 

Our team combines profound humanitarian experience with strong analytical skills to help organisations navigate the social, cultural, and political dynamics that shape effective humanitarian response. 

Whether supporting programme design, strategy development, or operational planning, we deliver nuanced, practical understanding that enables agencies to act with greater relevance, sensitivity, and impact in the contexts where they work. 

 We offer services that include context-sensitive mapping of grassroots responses, participatory dialogue processes that bring mutual aid practitioners and humanitarian agencies together, and the design of strategies that support local leadership on local terms. 

We also provide advisory support, training, and tools to help organisations work in solidarity with communities—not over them. Our work helps international actors move from symbolic participation to real partnership, fostering more effective, culturally grounded, and dignified humanitarian responses.
