Organizational, Project and Policy Development
The WolfGroup has undertaken the development of a wide-range of projects, policies and strategies with its integrated teams of consultants. The range of themes and deliverables speak to the breadth of expertise we can rally.Policy and Strategy Projects
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)We lead an institutional review of how the ICRC responds to the operational and resource demands of high profile conflicts and complex emergencies. Process included broad-based consultation within the organization, and with external actors in the UN system, RC/RC Movement, NGOs, NATO and the private sector.
International Council of Volunteer Agencies (ICVA)
Developed a fresh initiative around the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and NGOs entitled, ’Strengthening the relevance of humanitarian principles in humanitarian action’. Through intensive dialogue with stakeholders, developed a Discussion Paper reflecting the challenges facing the Code, and the piloting of Learning Events to enable organizations to more effectively employ them.
Quaker United Nations Office (QUNO)
This was a compact stock-taking exercise of the Disarmament and Peace programme, examining its partnerships and developing strategic options for the organization’s future thinking.
Voluntary Organisations in Cooperation in Emergencies (VOICE), The SPHERE Project
For these clients we undertook complementary research and strategy development around the issue of how civilian and military actors can- and cannot- interact in situations of armed conflict and natural disasters. These projects contributed to the evolving thinking of how multi-agency operations should unfold, and in identifying challenges on the strategic horizon. Products included discussion papers and training packages.
World Food Programme (WFP)
We were part of a Field Study on the Protection of Civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2006. Our work was in support of an ongoing policy project exploring how the Programme could improve beneficiary protection, through its staff, mandate and operations. The outcome of the field research included the formulation of country-level and strategic recommendations for the eventual WFP policy formulation. In 2009, we undertook a review of all WFP-commissioned research projects to develop a discussion paper for a High Level Humanitarian Conference.
Project Development
"UNRWA at 60" campaignThe WolfGroup lead an ambitious initiative to develop events, networks and interest around the commemoration of 60 years of service that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has undertaken alongside Palestine refugees. The campaign development included facilitating the strategy development and streamlining of project types and outputs. We assembled a multi-disciplinary team to directly develop feasible project proposals and produce printed, digital and web-based products for further fund-raising and global coordination.
Geneva Peacebuilding Platform (GPP)
We served as the project leader of the project International Geneva and the UN Peacebuilding Commmission in close partnership with QUNO and the HEI/CCDP. Developed the project from a comprehensive analytical mapping of Geneva-based Peacebuilding capacities, to the organization of high-level conferences with the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) and founded the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform, a joint initiative for 2008.
