Our team of 25-30 professionals works at the forefront of urgent international crises and foreign policy challenges, including conflict resolution in Ukraine, Yemen, Mali, and Myanmar. We tackle major global challenges such as climate change and internet freedom, while working to create a more equitable diplomatic system through initiatives like improving UN Security Council working methods, ensuring women’s inclusion in peace processes, and supporting refugee participation in global policy development. ID maintains established non-profit entities with standardized benefits and payroll systems in the US, UK, and Switzerland, and currently employs personnel in seven additional countries through Employer-of-Record (EOR) and consultant arrangements.
