Objective: to improve our intervention strategies and contribute to a continuous learning process within our communities, our staff and within the broader networks to which Planact is affiliated, such as the Urban Sector Network. We do this through gathering information on communities in which Planact is active, and documenting and reflecting on our work as well as undertaking research on relevant development topics.

Detailed community-level surveys help to provide the baseline information that will inform Planact’s interventions as well as to help community leaders to understand the community’s problems, needs, and aspirations. Case study research is undertaken in order to capture best practices, challenges, and lessons learned through community development processes. Planact is also involved in research on various topics relevant to its communities, which should both inform and be informed by Planact’s experiences in the field. Planact places increasing emphasis on project monitoring, documentation, and impact.
