About Us

The fragility and growth consultants

Oxcon is a consulting firm with unparalleled expertise in some of the most complex international environments. Our firsthand expertise in the developing world, with a focus on frontier markets, fragile and conflict-affected states, coupled with our ‘insider’ understanding of the work and demands of international organisations, non-governmental, public, and private sector, makes us uniquely positioned to be your organisation’s partner when it comes to exploring, understanding, and developing public and private sector policies with respect to those countries.

Global and sectoral outlook

The complexities of emerging and frontier markets often calls for a concerted approach, from the macro level, in the development of national and sectoral policies, to the meso and micro levels, down to the organisational one. Our experience and services cover the range of policy analysis and intervention, advising international organisations and governments, alongside companies and NGOs on specific, pinpointed projects. Our consultants and collaborators are located near the centres of global business – we call Oxford our home, and maintain a presence in Brussels – as well as across our target markets in Africa and Asia.

Engagements

OXCON engages with partners in both remote and field work, across a range of subjects including economic development, public policy and administration, research, humanitarian aid, freedom of speech online and offline.
