S4 Global Solutions

Leveraging over a decade of success in some of the world’s most complex environments, S4GS works with clients in development, diplomacy, and defense to build well-informed policies and effective programs. We focus on states in political transition, and we believe that any successful transformation requires a near-constant stream of well-analyzed information, a robust and resilient civil society, and an accountable security sector. We support our clients by combining reliable information with the capacity to facilitate or directly implement programs.

S4GS is a Service Disabled, Veteran Owned Small Business

We prioritize localized solutions that meet our partners where they are.

Reliable information is the cornerstone of everything we do at S4. We use a variety of collection tools, expert analysis, and state-of-the-art data mapping to help our clients write realistic policy and plan successful interventions. We facilitate access to complex places and firmly believe in the importance of ground truth.

S4 helps our partners build resilient civil society networks in closed and oppressive states. We excel in:

Fragile states often find themselves the targets of foreign actors. S4 helps transitioning states and their civil societies recognize, monitor, and counter threats from unwanted foreign influence.

Our work supports the positive role as security sector can and must play. Nothing is more dangerous to a state in transition than an unaccountable and poorly trained security sector. S4 staff has years of experience training and advising militaries and law enforcement agencies to be a force for good in their societies. S4 also supports civil society partners to investigate, monitor and influence their nations’ security sector.
