We provide expert start-to-finish survey and data collection services designed for the Pacific’s unique cultural and political environment, including those involving Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. We have key connections in governments, civil society, academic and policy making circles who we can work with to gather data in politically sensitive and culturally appropriate ways. Culturally meaningful data gathering methodologies are critical to understanding the views of diverse Pacific populations both at home and in the diaspora, such as seasonal workers.
Our holistic approach includes project design, culturally appropriate fieldwork methodologies, rigorous data analysis, and effective and timely reporting. We have extensive research and analytical experience across several Pacific countries, and Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. We understand the requirements of engaging via local customs and cultural protocols, and handling logistical challenges presented by socio-political systems. This ensures ethical, accurate, and high-response-rate data collection. Our work supports governments, inter-governmental organizations, civil society, and businesses to develop evidence-based and mutually beneficial policies, programs, and community initiatives, ultimately contributing to a thriving Pacific region.
