Equalise.it emerged from the enduring partnerships cultivated by International Conflict and Security Consulting Ltd. (INCAS), the leading and oldest consultancy that works for social impact, peace, and security in transition, fragile, and conflict-affected regions. With a partners network that encompasses high-calibre national consultancies and NGOs across more than 20 countries, INCAS is part of a powerful collective that tackles some of the world's most pressing issues. A major obstacle to growth among INCAS partners has been capacity to effectively access project opportunities and funding, exacerbated by limited in-house business development capabilities. This often led to a cycle of sub-contracting that not only hinders independent growth but also curtails the broader impact of organisations that are best placed to address the challenges at hand.
