Intelligence & Analysis
Cetus combines our existing resource hub with in-depth desk research and intel from our network on the ground to deliver high quality research, analysis, and actionable recommendations . We swiftly translate complex realities into tailored outputs, including maps and other graphics, ground briefs, short and long form reports, conflict analyses, and policy recommendations.
Democratic & Institutional Strengthening
We strengthen local ownership and participation in democratic institutions through our existing relationships with local communities, civil society organizations, and grassroots leaders. Our partners give us unique insights on local needs, risks, and entry points, allowing us to design targeted, collaborative capacity-building and technical support.
Peacebuilding & Stabilization
Our conflict sensitive approach is centered around preventing and countering violent extremism and other conflict to help communities to heal. Our team works with local peacebuilding partners to conduct rapid conflict analyses, develops localized conflict and extremism prevention strategies, and designs peace and stability activities.
Business Development
Cetus has developed winning proposals for a wide range of donors, including USAID, the World Bank, private foundations, and other governmental agencies.
