We provide granular situational awareness rooted in local realities, informing U.S. policy and operational decisions to mitigate risks and guide successful outcomes.

Hands-On Operational Support

Valar’s presence in the region enables us to provide hands-on support that is tailored to local contexts and easily adaptable to evolving client needs. We minimize physical and reputational risks by working directly with clients on-site, staying aligned with their teams and responding to local developments in real time.

Valar has supported U.S. firms to rapidly establish capital-intensive operations in Africa and Latin America, leveraging our local expertise, technical skills, and niche linguistic capabilities.

Partner-Focused Capacity Building

One of our most significant contributions has been enabling the safe expansion of commercial air travel to Aden International Airport in Yemen and Aden Adde International Airport in Somalia. We are implementing the U.S. Department of State aviation security programs in both countries to build sustainable, national-level infrastructure, including the development of comprehensive policies, threat detection systems, and training programs.
