Advancing evidence, partnerships, and responsible innovation for lasting impact.
ARSIC is a purpose-driven advisory practice advancing human rights, gender equality, and sustainable development through evidence-based advisory, research, evaluation, strategic learning, and responsible innovation.
Working across Asia, Africa, Europe, and beyond, we support governments, United Nations agencies, civil society organizations, foundations, and responsible businesses to navigate complex social challenges, strengthen institutions, and create lasting impact.
From child rights and social protection to governance, migration, education, public policy, and emerging technologies, our work transforms evidence into practical action that informs decisions, shapes policy, and improves people's lives.
Who We Are.
We believe lasting impact is created when rigorous evidence meets practical action.
Our work brings together research, evaluation, strategic advisory, and collaborative learning to support governments, United Nations agencies, civil society organizations, foundations, responsible businesses, and academic institutions in designing stronger policies, programmes, and systems.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we work alongside our partners to understand context, identify opportunities, and co-create practical, evidence-informed approaches that deliver sustainable change.
Our Approach.
The Funder.
ARSIC was founded by Dr. Anita Ramsak, an international human rights specialist, researcher, evaluator, and strategic advisor with more than 15 years of experience supporting governments, United Nations agencies, development organizations, and civil society across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Pacific.
Her work spans human rights, child rights, gender equality, governance, migration, education, social protection, and responsible innovation, with a strong focus on strengthening public systems through evidence, learning, and collaboration.
ARSIC was established from a simple belief: lasting social impact requires more than good intentions. It requires rigorous evidence, trusted partnerships, and practical solutions grounded in local realities. Today, ARSIC brings together multidisciplinary expertise to help partners navigate complexity, strengthen institutions, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
Built for Collaboration.
ARSIC is built around collaboration.
We work with a trusted network of researchers, practitioners, policy specialists, facilitators, designers, technologists, and partner organizations to bring together the right expertise for each initiative. This collaborative approach enables us to combine international experience with local knowledge, creating practical, context-responsive solutions that address complex challenges.
Operational team.
A small but effective team is in charge of ensuring that all processes run smoothly.
