About Voluntās (Latin; will, goal, purpose, meaning)

Voluntās Policy Advisory is a consultancy company driven by creating strategies with a purpose beyond profit and developing policies for a sustainable impact. We provide fact-based recommendations and policy options based on extensive research and analysis in volatile regions. Our goal is to have a positive impact on populations affected by crisis in order to improve their living standards and access to rights.

• • … deliver strategic and context-sensitive monitoring and evaluation

  • … carry out context specific due diligence for private and public partners

We work extensively in North Africa with several clients including UN agencies, International NGOs, major donors, and private companies. Many of our current projects particularly focus on Libya.
