About Caerus
Founded in early 2010, Caerus pioneers new ways of understanding and engaging in complex environments. We foster inter-disciplinary problem-solving through our practice areas Plan & Prepare, Design & Execute and Measure & Understand, to help clients appreciate and address the world’s most complex challenges.
The Caerus Mission
We partner with clients and communities to design, implement and evaluate integrative approaches to stability, governance and growth in frontier environments affected by conflict and disaster.
Why we’re here
We formed Caerus because we saw a critical gap we can fill. We focus on:
- Community driven development
- Human centered design
- Organizational and community resilience and
- Field-based research to understand and address violent conflict
Having worked everywhere – from the boardroom to the Situation Room, the battlefield to the marketplace, we value collaboration amongst diverse communities. We seek to jointly create new capacities for local stability, prosperity and dignity.
Caerus develops and supports new ways for communities, businesses, governments and international organizations to work together – promoting prosperity, stability, and social well being in conflict and disaster affected areas.
We treat the population as the principal actor, seeking to co-create viable long term solutions in an open partnership with the people whose lives they most directly affect.
With our partners, we operate in the challenging overlap between conflict, poverty, climate change, urbanization, crime, social dislocation, energy scarcity and resource inequality. Few others understand this space as our diverse team does, or operate in it as we can.
