Supporting social impact, inclusive governance and evidence-based decision-making across Europe and beyond
I’m Johannes Langer, a policy and strategy consultant with 14 years of international experience in democratic governance, social inclusion and peacebuilding. I’ve worked with intergovernmental organisations, NGOs and academic institutions across 10 countries on three continents — helping mission-driven teams align strategy, deliver impact and navigate complexity with confidence.

With deep expertise in democratic governance, migration and social inclusion, I deliver rigorous policy research grounded in political realities. From background briefs to policy papers and stakeholder mapping, I help clients make informed decisions and engage effectively in national and EU policy arenas.

I support programme teams to design, implement and review impactful initiatives. Drawing on participatory methods and intercultural sensitivity, I facilitate co-creation processes, advise on theory of change and logframes, and help translate ideas into well-funded and well-run programmes.

I offer tailored support to organisations seeking to align their goals with their work. Whether you're repositioning your mission, planning your next strategic cycle or navigating a political shift, I provide external insights, facilitate strategic thinking and help you stay true to your values while making practical decisions.
If you’re looking for support with research, strategy or programme development, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to explore how I can help.
