Thematic Areas
Climate, DRR & Environment
We provide strategic advisory services and research on climate resilience across Bangladesh, addressing vulnerabilities in coastal, flood-prone, and urban areas. Combining scientific data with community insights, we develop risk assessments, nature-based solutions, and adaptation frameworks for sea-level rise, salinity intrusion, and extreme weather. Through participatory approaches and climate finance, we strengthen local resilience while connecting Bangladesh to global resources.
Market Systems & Livelihood Development
We analyze market systems and develop interventions across Bangladesh, identifying constraints and opportunities in key sectors. Our value chain assessments map power dynamics and incentives to drive private sector engagement, strengthen business services, and improve regulations—creating pathways for smallholders, SMEs, and marginalized actors to access better economic opportunities.
WASH
At Inspira, we drive innovative WASH solutions through research and consulting. Using field analysis and satellite data, we develop water systems that balance technology with community needs. Our sanitation and hygiene strategies integrate behavioral science and engineering for lasting, scalable impact. Through cross-cutting research, we deliver evidence-based recommendations that ensure sustainability, equity, and resilience.
Gender & Protection
At Inspira, we conduct research and provide advisory services on gender equality in Bangladesh, focusing on women's economic empowerment, reproductive health rights, and child protection. Using evidence-based methodologies, we address child marriage, maternal health, and women's participation in decision-making. By blending local socioeconomic insights with global best practices, we design interventions that drive measurable progress at household, community, and policy levels.

Nutrition
At Inspira, we conduct health sector research in Bangladesh, mapping patient pathways and identifying bottlenecks in general, maternal, child, and elderly care.
