Objectives and Vision Statement

Consulting and research agency that provides intellectual services

Initiated in 2015, Oghma Group International (OGI) is a female-led consulting and research agency that provides high-quality intellectual services to development organizations, professionals, businesses, governments, and individuals. Established with a mission to empower professional women—especially single heads of households—OGI facilitates commissioned and tendered opportunities that allow women to contribute meaningfully to the workforce, reclaim financial agency, and leverage their expertise through flexible, high-value work.
 
OGI has since evolved into a trusted partner for a wide range of clients, including INGOs, NGOs, academic institutions, media professionals, legal teams, and independent researchers. We operate fluently in English, Arabic, French, and Armenian, enabling us to serve diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.
 
Our core strength lies in producing contextually grounded, ethically sound, and methodologically rigorous research and analysis. We specialize in working in insecure environments, accessing hard-to-reach communities, and documenting minority issues and under-studied or politically sensitive topics—from conflict zones to migration corridors, and from marginalized ethnic groups to informal economies.
 
OGI’s services span six categories:
 
1. Research Areas – designing and implementing qualitative and quantitative research across the social sciences, humanities, and public health sectors
2. Writing Services – developing content ranging from analytical essays to catalogues and collaborative editorial projects
3. Country of Information Expert Witness (COEW) – providing expert analysis for legal, policy, and humanitarian cases
4. Stakeholder Mapping and Contact Identification – identifying key actors, networks, and informants for research, outreach, and partnership
5. Intellectual and Creative Production Support – supporting the development of written, visual, and narrative content for publication or public engagement
6. Translation and Transcription Services – delivering multilingual content with cultural nuance and professional accuracy
 
Our approach is distinguished by our ability to operate in complex contexts with a deep commitment to accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and inclusiveness. From documenting diaspora dynamics and refugee movements to assessing political risks or translating overlooked stories into evidence-based reports, we aim to produce knowledge that informs, connects, and drives impact.
 
Looking ahead, OGI seeks to deepen its regional and global collaborations, advance gender-inclusive research practices, and promote systemic change through thoughtful, evidence-based, and ethically produced work.

What's In A Name?

The power of language lies in communication-the ability to connect, convey ideas, and transform lives. Words shape our understanding of the world, break barriers, and create opportunities. Recognizing this, we named our organization Oghma, drawing inspiration from the Celtic god of eloquence, wisdom, and learning. Oghma, often linked to the ancient Ogham script, represents the profound role of language in knowledge-sharing and empowerment.

Our journey began as a translation agency with a mission to support women-divorcees, heads of households, and mothers-by providing them with job opportunities. For these women, mastering language was more than just a skill; it was a means of reclaiming agency, achieving financial independence, and rewriting their own narratives. The name Oghma reflects our commitment to harnessing the power of words to convey meaning across languages, express innovative ideas, and share insights that inform, inspire, connect, and transform.

2025-Non-Resident Lebanese and the 2026 Parliamentary Elections: Partners in Lebanon’s Development and Renewal
 
Lebanon’s vast diaspora has long been its economic lifeline, sustaining families, businesses, and the national economy through remittances, trade, and investment. Yet their political role remains contested and constrained. As Lebanon prepares for its 2026 parliamentary elections, this research explores the crucial role of non-resident Lebanese in shaping the country’s future. It examines their demands for genuine political representation, the obstacles posed by entrenched sectarian interests, and the urgent need for electoral reform. By analyzing media discourse, legal frameworks, and diaspora advocacy, this study highlights how empowering the Lebanese abroad is essential for rebuilding a sovereign, democratic, and prosperous Lebanon.
