Research from difficult to access locations
While much of Asia has experienced rapid economic development, many peripheral regions have experienced chronic conflict which has resulted in pockets of uneven development, insecurity, and ungovernability. While these regions often face a number of serious challenges, and are often the most at need, accessing these areas is often the most difficult. Customized and specific information, analysis, and recommendations based upon on the ground realities are essential for organizations to better understand and address relevant issues, especially for groups wanting to provide assistance in these areas.
Access Asia works in partnership with a range of organizations in the public and private sectors on tailored projects providing research and analysis, visual documentation, and recommended solutions. We also provide investigative reportage, policy papers and public outreach writing.
Conflict management and mitigation
Subnational, national, and international conflict of various sizes and intensities affects almost two-thirds of Asia. The root causes of violent conflict are often highly complicated and diverse requiring sound research, unbiased analysis and creative mitigation efforts that address the source of conflict.
Access Asia provides highly tailored conflict management and mitigation research and programming for government and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focusing on subnational and transnational conflicts and their peripheral issues.
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
Managing complex projects and quantifying their efficacy can be a difficult and time-consuming process for many organizations, and donors often require third-party M&E research.
Access Asia provides focused M&E for NGOs and donors that provides valuable feedback on active projects, identifies problems and possible solutions during the lifespan of a project, quantifies project effectiveness, evaluates a project's original goals with its outcomes, establishes a framework and threshold of success in future projects, and measures stakeholders perceptions of projects.
Media monitoring
An effective media monitoring service can save businesses, organizations and government agencies countless hours of time combing media sources for the information they seek. It is even more relevant in today's digital age, which has opened an entirely new platform for the spread of information – and misinformation.
Access Asia provides customized media monitoring services in English, Burmese and Thai on specific topics and geographical areas as well as in-depth analysis on media issues.
Political risk analysis
Understanding political risks can give businesses, organizations and governments crucial foresight for effective decision making. Analysis of political risk in volatile countries or regions provides managers and policy makers with qualified and quantified assessments of the likelihood of risks and threats occurring and the impact they may have on operations or policies.
Access Asia provides customized political risk analysis, reports and security threat assessments combining on the ground intelligence with strategic insight and forecasting on both national and subnational levels. We also provide highly specific business intelligence and recommendations to mitigate market and security risks for businesses or organizations operating in seemingly unpredictable areas.
