ABOUT NOVORA

Novora is a research organisation designed to

increase accessibility to knowledge

At Novora, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between access to critical knowledge and the organisations that need it most. We provide essential research and resources to those facing challenges in accessibility, grounded in the belief that comprehensive, analytical research is the cornerstone of stable governance and effective decision-making.

We support organisations in understanding the social implications of geopolitical complexities and in preparing for a more stable, peace-filled future. Our insights span areas such as counter-terrorism, international security, government instability, WAM & DDR, human security, and climate. By analysing the intersections and patterns across these domains, we offer valuable perspectives on fragile situations.

To this end, we are confident that the provision of research, knowledge, insight, and academia can unlock solutions to even the most complex problems — opening new horizons. By equipping organisations with the understanding they need, we empower them to implement solution-oriented strategies that drive meaningful progress at every level.

Political Neutrality

We uphold complete impartiality in our research, remaining free from political influence or bias. Our commitment to neutrality ensures integrity, objectivity, and trust, allowing our research to serve as a reliable foundation for informed decision-making.

Accessibility of Knowledge

We believe that valuable research should be available to those who need it most. By focusing on open-access resources, we help organisations overcome barriers to critical information.

Impact-Driven Approach

Our goal is to contribute to meaningful, solution-oriented decision making. We strive to provide research that empowers organisations to learn from past policies and make informed choices for the future.

Integrity & Transparency

We operate with honesty and clarity, ensuring that our research methods, sources, and findings remain transparent. We openly share our processes, decisions, and data to foster a culture of openness and mutual understanding.

Our Core Values

Help fund peace - donate to give books.

In September 2024 we deployed over 50 books to Somalia to aid their peace-building initiatives. This year, through sponsorship, we hope to give even more. You too can be a part of the change.
