Our technical assistance, toolkits and dialogues put affected communities at the centre of problem definition and solution design.



Technical Assistance

Providing on-demand and rapid expertise for transformation.

Amara Hub strengthens local actors and equips leaders in low resource communities, rural towns, and emerging cities with the critical skillsets and capacity necessary for practice, process and policy change.

Implementation Toolkits

Knowledge-to-Impact resources to counter societal challenges.

We research and co-create tools that allow communities to better identify their risks, assets, and vulnerabilities; evaluate existing and needed levels of protection; and assess the cost of their action or inaction.

PubAffairs Dialogues

Engaging with different perspectives on the issues that matter.

By convening stakeholders in meaningful information exchange, Amara Hub is able to surface and analyze findings, economic influences, social insights and policy-based solutions that address specific challenges.

Amara Hub’s theory of change is rooted in three interconnected pillars:

  • Co-Creation: Partnering directly with communities to design context-specific solutions, while engaging policymakers, local agencies, and technical experts from the outset to align priorities and ensure scalability.
  • Capacity Enablement: Building skills and deploying accessible tools to strengthen local agency.
  • Systems Change: Facilitating dialogue between communities and institutions to shift power dynamics, embed community voices into policies, and allocate resources toward locally owned initiatives.
