Transition International

Transition International (TI) is a Netherlands-based international consultancy firm with a network of experts around the world. We specialise in tackling the challenges of transitions from: war to peace; relief to development; insecurity to security; crisis to positive change; poverty to dignity; and exclusion to representation. Transitions are difficult and often painful, but they also provide a window of opportunity. We believe that the benefits of any transition must be highlighted when seeking a positive outcome. We promote change through knowledge development, training and advisory services, to help the key actors make the different stages of transition more transparent, inclusive and sustainable. TI, while operating on a commercial basis, is a value-driven consultancy firm. We are guided by the ambition to contribute to a peaceful and more secure world, in which human dignity and our environment are both respected and protected. We understand that context is often at least as important as the substance of a programme or project. We therefore employ a conflict, gender and age-sensitive approach, and strive towards the broadest possible participation of stakeholders and affected communities. TI offers high quality applied research, data-collection for contextual analyses, coherent policy and strategy development, programme design, and project evaluation. Additionally, training on specific transition issues and trouble-shooting in ongoing projects has become one of TI's areas of expertise. The company draws its expertise from its network of consultants, experienced in a wide scope of technical fields, and consists of a number of inter-dependent desks. TI draws on this pool of knowledge to provide tailor-made and client-oriented assistance, often combining the expertise of several specialists in one assignment. This results in a truly multidisciplinary approach and is reflected in the holistic strategies we propose and the products we deliver.
