Socio-Economic Baseline Studies
Understanding your community's
foundation for stronger decisions.
Baseline studies begin at the start of a project and create a comprehensive picture of your community's socio-economic conditions, serving as the foundation for informed decision-making about future development projects. Your community's unique story – shaped by history, culture, and tradition – deserves to be told through both numbers and narratives.
Gathering Stories
We begin by sitting with Elders, speaking with knowledge keepers, and engaging community members. We map traditional economic activities, document cultural practices and their evolution, and record community aspirations and concerns.
Collecting Numbers
Our team consolidates published data and conducts primary research to fill information gaps.
We analyze:
- Population demographics and trends
- Income and employment patterns
- Housing conditions and needs
Weaving Together
We integrate traditional knowledge with statistical data, creating visual representations of community life and developing interactive tools for exploration. The result is a comprehensive baseline report that becomes your evidence, your advocate, and your guide.
Protecting Cultural Sovereignty
Knowledge is a Gift,
not a Resource to be Extracted.
*Baseline Studies
Your community's story is unique – shaped by history, culture, and tradition.
Our baseline studies capture this richness through both numbers and narratives.
We work alongside your community to:
- Create a comprehensive picture of community life today
- Document traditional economic activities and their modern evolution
- Map community strengths, challenges, and opportunities
- Measure well-being through cultural and contemporary lenses
- Build a strong foundation for funding applications and negotiations
Comprehensive Reporting
We deliver detailed reports that not only present findings but also provide actionable recommendations tailored to the community's context. Our reports are designed to be accessible and informative, ensuring that all stakeholders can engage with the results.
