The following services can be ordered individually, or you may choose to have an OICD office based permanently in your country to provide all services continuously providing consistent long-term results (OICD directives). Contact us here. It is in the
ability to almost immediately ascertain and respond to the roots of
local conflict that the OICD most excels.
Using a worldwide network of social and cultural anthropologists
intimately familiar with the ethnic/religious groups concerned, the OICD
can begin to put a conflict response project together within days of a
flashpoint occurrence. Using
its media campaigning expertise, the OICD sets out a response agenda
that cuts to the quick of identities in question, beginning to propagate
alternative cultural and ethnic ‘narratives’ which move towards
peaceful identifications and non-sectarian imaginative models.
Campaigns can last any length of time and are scaled accordingly
to the identified population and state of crisis on both sides of the
conflict. In
countries with a history of ethnic conflict, the OICD encourages
governments to take advantage of having an OICD office operating
domestically on a permanent basis as part of a conflict avoidance
strategy. Contact us for more information on how we can help use our
innovative research and media campaigns to help with your conflict
response and prevention strategy. Working in
close co-operation with Principia’s highly experienced community
development team, the OICD can tailor social development projects to a
wide range of particular circumstances and needs, worldwide.
Ethnographic
research methods are employed to help inform projects tailored to your
needs. The OICD is
particularly effective in the deconstruction of class boundaries through
concentrated media campaigning, and this can aid greatly in the
regeneration of economically deprived areas. Through our Principia partners, we also offer the full range of community development services. The OICD’s anthropological perspective and ethnographic approach means that it can quickly identify the fissures in the national makeup that prevent people from voting. With an expertise in tracking national identities and local communities through time, the OICD can soon put a media campaign together which speaks to your non-voters and engages them in the need to link their locales with their wider society. Contact us. Our social research services are second-to-none. The ethnographic approach is quickly becoming recognized as the most powerful of social methodologies when it comes to tapping into the identities and attitudes of your population. Whatever
you wish to find out about your population, including future
generational predictions of how they will conceive their national
identities – and/or their ethnic makeup – the OICD can provide the
innovative research and high-level results. Contact us to discuss your research needs.
