Mandate
Noria conducts field-based investigations for the purpose of growing understanding around critical political issues. Our primary mandates are to translate data gathered on the ground into original analyses, and to leverage our research for the purpose of informing policy debates and engaging wider audiences.
Developing long-term research programs
We believe that political crises cannot be understood without a deep grasp for the dynamics on the ground.
Promoting access to field-based knowledge
We bridge the divides that keep academic research from reaching both lay audiences and relevant policy communities.
Supporting the tradecraft of research
We helps to ensure the existence of independent research and contributes to its future.
