What We Do

Albany works with people and communities in some of the toughest places in the world.

We provide advice and training for governments, civil society organisations, and key leaders, tailored specifically to local circumstances and culture.

We believe in local solutions and our well-established networks across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia give us the partners and access we need to achieve them.

We work closely with our local partners to build grassroots resilience to the drivers of crisis and conflict and to find home-grown solutions to the problems that cause them.

Case Study - Advocacy & Outreach

Geneva Advocacy & Outreach

Albany was contracted by the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office to provide communications support to the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) in the build-up to and during the Geneva II peace talks in 2014. The aim was to strengthen the SNC’s legitimacy, and therefore a considerable negotiating position, empowering them to propagate their own narrative and counter regime narratives. Secondary objectives included increased Syrian awareness of Geneva and SNC legitimacy.
