Research partners

Research and analysis are the building blocks that underpin the effectiveness, relevance, and impact of the Place Literacy Project. They drive evidence-based strategies and initiatives, helping us monitor progress and advocate for equitable, sustainable solutions. Research findings and assessments become valuable resources for policy and knowledge sharing within our community, enabling positive change. Research validates the project's objectives, assesses its impact, and aligns our goals with real-world challenges.

    • Impact assessment:

      • Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the project's initiatives

      • Establish feedback loops to ensure that research findings inform the project's ongoing strategies and initiatives

    • Knowledge sharing:

      • Share research findings with project stakeholders, partners, and the broader community to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration
