Applied social research and public policy analyses are conducted at the request of clients who need to shed light on or increase the visibility of an occurrence or problem, or to design or improve the approach and problem-solving mechanisms in place.
Depending on the resources available, the methodology may include document analysis, comparative analysis of best international, regional or local practices, as well as field research involving in-depth interviews, focus groups or surveys with target groups and/or implementers.
In its work, MAP values a participatory approach. In practice, this entails formulating the recommendations together with clients, taking into account the social and political contexts as well as institutional and resource-related particularities. In this way, we ensure their real-life applicability.
