In addition, Analysts helped the City of Cartagena, Colombia develop an employment strategy to adapt to rapid changes in its economy and infrastructure and supported a leading US non-profit in applying a racial justice and equity lens to its programming. Through these and other projects, Analysts have previously travelled to a diverse range of countries including Ecuador, Ethiopia, Morocco, Philippines, Tanzania.
