Community-led Research: Impacts of Corporate Capture on Land, Housing, and Natural Resources

Share

Reclaiming our stories is a community-led research initiative launched in 2020 that brought together five grassroots groups from Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, Asia, and Latin America to gather their own data on the impacts of corporate actors on women’s rights to land, housing, and natural resources.

An advisory group comprising ESCR-Net members supported the participants in designing and carrying out the research through collective workshops, bilateral exchanges, and one-to-one advising around: documenting corporate capture, conducting power analysis, mitigating security risks, choosing the right research methods and tools, and analyzing data in a participatory way.

How to develop and conduct community-led surveys

Surveys can be a very powerful tool to get a full picture of an issue or problem. A Community-led Survey, unlike a conventional survey, is not only about collecting information – it also allows for information and insights to be exchanged between the community and the research team.  In this video tutorial, Tom Weerachat from the International Accountability Project (IAP) provides an overview of the process of designing and conducting a survey with the participation of community members.
