Events
Throughout the community-based research process, the project aims to continue to engage new networks, strengthen the anti-poverty movement, and mobilize knowledge for action. It does this by convening existing and new partners, creating spaces for dialogue and collaboration, and sharing the resources its developed through the research process. Ultimately, we hope to build on the knowledge developed in partnership with communities and translate that into policy change and action with government, community organizations, media and the public.
