About Hora Public Policies

At Hora Public Policy Consulting, we transform evidence into action.

Working at the intersection of Human Rights, Civil Rights, Public Policy, and Accountability, we help institutions understand complex social challenges, strengthen rights-based responses, and improve outcomes for individuals and communities.

Through applied research, policy evaluation, institutional assessments, and strategic advisory services, we support governments, nonprofit organizations, legal professionals, and public institutions in making informed, equitable, and accountable decisions.

We believe that stronger institutions, evidence-informed policies, and the protection of fundamental rights are essential to building more just, democratic, and resilient societies.

Hora Public Policy Consulting was founded at the intersection of Human Rights, Civil Rights, Public Policy, and Institutional Accountability.

Drawing on more than a decade of experience in government, applied research, institutional oversight, and evidence production, the consultancy was created to help organizations understand how laws, public policies, and institutional practices shape the lives of individuals and communities—particularly those facing vulnerability, discrimination, exclusion, or barriers to accessing their rights.

The consultancy operates through two integrated areas of practice:

Human Rights, Civil Rights & Public Policy:

We provide applied research, policy analysis, program evaluation, and strategic advisory services to support governments, nonprofit organizations, legal professionals, and public institutions in addressing complex social challenges.

Areas of expertise include homelessness and housing, migration, racial and religious discrimination, gender-based violence, social protection systems, and institutional responses to human rights concerns.

Our work helps organizations identify systemic barriers, evaluate policy effectiveness, strengthen accountability mechanisms, and improve outcomes for individuals and communities.

Institutional Accountability, Expert Analysis & Evidence Production:

We provide expert analysis, technical reports, investigations, and evidence-informed assessments to support institutional decision-making, accountability processes, and legal strategies involving human rights and civil rights issues.

Our work includes socioeconomic and psychosocial impact assessments, policy implementation analysis, institutional diagnostics, and evidence production used in litigation support, mediation, public oversight, and policy reform initiatives.

Particular expertise includes matters involving discrimination, structural violence, homelessness, environmental and social harms, and failures in public service delivery.

Across both areas of practice, our work is guided by a commitment to evidence, rights protection, accountability, and meaningful social impact.
