The research division of the agency begins with need assessment studies and baseline surveys. These help to understand ground-level socioeconomic conditions of communities, demographic details, challenges in community services like skills, sanitation, drinking water, and education. This helps develop action plans for the future.
The second strategy for research is impact assessment. The agency conducts an impact assessment of CSR and development projects to identify intangible and tangible changes in the lives of communities where projects were implemented. This helps in the understanding of the overall impact and outcomes of the project from the viewpoint of beneficiaries.
The third task of research is determining Social Return on Investment (SROI) studies to understand the social returns of a community project with regard to financial investment on the project. Evaluative SROI is used to collate, collect, and calculate the vital results based on information and data linked to changes via the intervention.
Next, the agency conducts Social Perception surveys to comprehend the perception of beneficiary communities in the region where CSR or development projects have been undertaken. This helps to finish the feedback loop and take corrective action.
