What We Do
OTAP links threat intelligence to pragmatic peacebuilding. Our briefs and client work deliver risk insights into stabilisation pathways. We publish reports on transnational risks and map levers for de-escalation, as well as train the next generation through structured apprenticeships. Thanks to donors like you, we can scale our outputs, formalise training, and establish early-warning and scenario units that institutions and firms can rely on during crises.
Our Philosophy
Unlike other organisations, OTAP does more than promote peacebuilding; we also provide the incentives. Conflicts often emerge when diplomacy fails to address stakeholder concerns, which is why we approach peacebuilding a little differently.
-
Applying a realist approach to policymaking, we recognise that peace starts at the very top. By incentivising actors using a broad toolkit, we leverage foreign investment opportunities and results-based aid delivery proposals to ensure the political rivals of today become the business partners of tomorrow.
-
Using our special blend of peacebuilding insight and strategic foresight, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of risks for our clients. We then provide tailored policy options so that you are always prepared, because at OTAP, we don’t just show you where the fire is; we also show you how to rebuild the house.
-
Along with our dedication to peacebuilding, we are also passionate about training the professionals of tomorrow. Young professionals in school or who have just graduated can apply to either our intelligence or policymaking apprenticeships, wherein we equip them with the skills needed to enter the industry ready to take on any challenge.
Our Goals
Assess Emerging Threats
We monitor threats to the supply chain, major or potential national industries, and critical international security.
Map Peacebuilding Opportunities
We focus on local stakeholder necessities and native dynamics.
Equip Relevant Stakeholders
We ensure that leaders are equipped with the tools to harness current geopolitical movements and thrive in an ever-changing world.
The Problem, and Our Solution
Decision-makers face fast-moving conflicts, fragmented information, and limited local capacity. Analytical shops flag the fire, but few also show how to rebuild the house. We do both by closing the gap between intelligence and peacebuilding.
