Sayara International is a social enterprise that blends rigorous research with targeted communication to support development in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. The organization provides complex monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning (MERL) services alongside social and behavior change communication (SBCC) in challenging environments. Its work spans countering disinformation and assessing education, migration, inclusive governance, climate change, and health. Headquartered in Washington, DC, Sayara operates in the international trade and development sector and was founded in 2003, with activity across 30 countries in Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Field teams are based in Khartoum, Kyiv, and Nairobi, with supporting offices in Dubai, Istanbul, London, Marseille, and Warsaw, reflecting a decentralized structure that emphasizes local talent and agility. Its clients include governments, civil society organizations, and international institutions, and a recent development is a 2021 partnership with the Spotlight Initiative to host a Spanish-language webinar on methodologies for studying violence against women, girls, and adolescents (VAWGA).
