Change Pulses

Change Pulses is a Lebanon-based research and advisory consultancy supporting smarter, safer decision-making in fragile and politically complex contexts. We work with humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding organizations at moments of high uncertainty—when political sensitivity, protection risks, and stakeholder dynamics require clear judgment, not just more data. Operating at the intersection of governance, protection, social stability, and civic engagement, we provide context-first, conflict-sensitive analysis and advisory support that helps organizations navigate complexity, reduce unintended harm, and engage responsibly with institutions and communities. What We Do • Context & Risk Intelligence – political economy analysis, stakeholder and power mapping, and risk assessments that surface formal and informal dynamics shaping outcomes. • Policy & Advocacy Advisory – translating evidence and local insight into credible, conflict-sensitive policy positioning, advocacy strategies, and engagement roadmaps. • Advocacy & Governance Capacity Building – practical workshops and learning labs strengthening strategic advocacy, institutional navigation, and risk-aware engagement. Our Approach Our work is guided by internationally recognized best practices in fragile and conflict-affected settings, drawing on frameworks from the OECD and ALNAP. We prioritize: • Context-first analysis grounded in local realities • Conflict sensitivity and “do no harm” principles • Evidence-based, decision-oriented outputs • Ethical, independent, and non-partisan engagement Who We Work With UN agencies, donor-funded programs, INGOs, consortia, civil society organizations, youth networks, and municipal actors seeking to operate more effectively—and safely—in fragile environments.
