BUILDING RESPONSIVE INSTITUTIONS, PROMOTING PROSPEROUS SOCIETIES.

Siren is a not-for-profit international development consultancy. We help organisations from across the public and social sectors become more effective, accountable and inclusive.

Our approach pivots around building an evidence base for change, strengthening organisational capacities, and leveraging technology to address barriers to social, political and economic inclusion.

We partner with organisations who share our drive to help people realise their full potential. As consultants, we place our partners at the helm of change, and enable them to sustainably transform their organisations and contexts.

WHAT WE DO

Our teams combine cutting-edge research and analysis with tech-infused change management services to make organisations more responsive and accountable to the communities they serve.

Research

We use social science research techniques to deliver solution-driven analysis that informs our work.

Change management

We provide a range of consulting and capacity building services to support organisations through the entire transformation process.

THEMATIC EXPERTISE

Our teams build the capacity of states to meet the expectations of their people, and for different social groups to articulate their expectations of public institutions and agree upon common goals.

Our Sectors

Civil society resilience and peacebuilding

We support the people directly affected by crises and instability to have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, whether in terms of the goods or services they receive or their ability to access future prosperity.

Security sector transformation

We work with local partners to develop security systems that are professional, effective and ultimately accountable to civilian authorities.

Public sector governance and accountability

We support our partners to build strong systems of democratic governance that make public institutions more responsive to the needs of the people they serve, and capable of delivering services effectively and equitably.

Justice and the rule of law

We work with civil society and public sector institutions to build inclusive justice systems that can be relied upon to act fairly, impartially and in line with human rights norms.
