What makes us unique?

OQ is community driven from diagnostics, program design, building solutions, peer learning locally and regionally to funding support. We provide the control of the development process, resources and decision-making authority directly to the communities. Our interventions are collaborative, collective, cooperative and synergistic. Communities design and guide their own strategic conversations. Through these conversations, communities generate new knowledge and release the human ingenuity needed to address complex challenges. When communities have the capacity to design and guide their own complex conversations, they self-organize, they experiment, they adapt, they innovate, they have ownership and feel deeply committed.
