About us
USING COMMUNICATIONS TO SOLVE COMPLEX PROBLEMS IN CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS Albany works with people and communities in some of the toughest places in the world. We provide advice and training for governments, civil society organisations, and key leaders tailored specifically to local circumstances and culture. We believe in local solutions and our well-established networks across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia give us the partners and access we need to get to grips with them, We work closely with our local partners to build grassroots resilience to the drivers of crisis and conflict and to find home-grown solutions to the problems that cause them. Our philosophy is that robust two-way communications provide the primary mechanism for solving problems and building resilience to social, economic and political shocks. Animating civil society, or the public space between the state, market, community and family, has become central to our method of work. We call it comprehensive communications. What drives Albany is our purpose "to lead in the conception and delivery of outcomes that strengthen the resilience of civil societies in challenging environments, through the medium of Comprehensive Communications".

It’s always a pleasure for Albany’s team for Albany’s team to be invited to Hedayah conferences. We look forward to more engaging panels and discussions over the next few days! #hedayahconference #CVE #researchconference24
A recap of highlights from day one of the #Hedayah International Research Conference & Communications Expo in London where researchers, practitioners and policymakers converged to tackle a common cause, to counter extremism and violent extremism. Hedayah has convened over 200 experts from around the world to exchange ground-breaking research and innovative solutions to advance the work of countering extremism and violent extremism. We welcomed opening remarks from Owen Jenkins CMG, Director General, Indo-Pacific, Middle East and North Africa Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, H.E. Ismail Chekkori, Director of Global Issues Maroc Diplomatie 🇲🇦 and H.E. Nadia Costantini, Head of Counter-Terrorism Division European External Action Service, and a keynote speech from Ramiro Martinez U.S. Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism. Through collaboration and dedication, we can forge stronger frameworks for combating the challenges of extremism and terrorism that threaten societies. Stay tuned for more on our in-depth discussions on unravelling the ever-changing landscape of extremism. #HedayahConference #ResearchConference24 #CommsExpo24 #RCxExpo24

💡How can we harness gaming in communication?💡 Here’s a few glimpses of our event last week where we looked at innovative communications in an age where legacy media and even conventional social media platforms are no longer where people go to for their news and information. 🕹 Through the prism of a bespoke game we examined how audiences were pivoting to platforms like Twitch, Discord, Reddit and Telegram linked to memes and games to exchange ideas, chat and share information. Albany was able to show how the low cost, AI supported games engine and digital tool kit we have developed can leverage this new information environment. We call it interactive engagement.

⬇ A great summary by Struan Murray on the recent voting in #Moldova and Albany's #mediafreedom campaign in the country in 2020. To learn more about Albany's projects follow the link below! ⬇ https://lnkd.in/d_DvFNV #strategiccommunications #civilsociety #geopolitics
Today’s results from Moldova’s referendum on EU membership are a stark reminder of the covert and overt forces shaping the country’s future. Moldova stands at a critical crossroad, wrestling with competing visions - one anchored in European integration and the other looking eastward toward Russia. The first batch of preliminary results indicated a "no" to Moldova’s EU future, but a last-minute spike in votes from the country’s diaspora won the referendum by the slimmest of margins. Although early counts showed voters largely rejecting the proposal to enshrine Moldova’s EU path in its constitution, the final results now show the referendum has passed. With 99.5% of votes counted, 50.3% of voters backed EU membership, while 49.7% opposed it, highlighting a nation deeply divided on its future direction. Reflecting on my time working with Albany Associates , part of the team delivering a media freedom programme in Moldova, we experienced the importance of a free and pluralistic media to safeguard democracy and give citizens access to unbiased information. During the 2020 presidential election, we worked on a media development programme that supported non-profit and independent outlets like TV8, part of Media Alternativa, which became a key platform for delivering fact-based news in an environment where Russian disinformation often distorted the public narrative. The objective was simple but vital: empower local media to inform citizens truthfully, counter malign influences, and promote transparency. The nature of today’s vote highlights the persistence of disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining Moldova’s path to the EU. President Maia Sandu’s denunciation of foreign interference in this referendum echoes what we witnessed during the delivery of the programme - persistent efforts by external actors to sow division and exploit vulnerabilities. While the path forward will undoubtedly remain challenging, today’s vote shows that the desire for a European future remains strong, even in the face of external pressure. Moldova’s journey toward EU membership is now closer to being realised, and we should remain hopeful that the foundations laid by civil society, independent media, and the resilience of the Moldovan people will continue to strengthen the country’s democratic future. #Moldova #EUMembership #Democracy #MediaFreedom #Disinformation #Geopolitics #CivilSociety

🗓 This Sunday, #moldova will go to the polls to potentially re-elect its president Maia Sandu and hold a referendum on joining the #EU. It does so in the face of extensive Kremlin interference and subversion. This is not the first campaign Moldova has faced. ⬇ Watch the clip below to understand more about Moldova, its resilience, and the Kremlin's subversion efforts. #strategiccommunications #resilience

“The world’s worst humanitarian crisis and also a geo-political time-bomb” ⬆ How The Economist describes the ongoing conflict in #Sudan. https://lnkd.in/gWsmqv7c The ongoing civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Paramilitary Rapid Support Forces receives little attention compared to other conflicts raging today. In part this is because there is a failure of understanding the conflicts true implications. As summarised in the article, the war threatens trade, heightens great power geopolitical risk, and creates another wave of refugees exacerbating an already mounting crisis. The current perception is of a false choice between two warlords, but this cannot bring peace. Albany’s experience in the region demonstrates that grass-roots initiatives led by democratic groups are the surest way to establish dialogue between stakeholders and create a lasting peace. #stabilisation #peacebuilding

'The riots may have died down, but the manipulation and subversion are almost certain to continue, and the narratives that facilitated the disorder are more likely to take hold' writes Joe Morley-Davies in the latest RUSI Commentary.
