Area of study

Community-rooted knowledge

Questions under design — no findings

Knowledge held by rural communities — recorded only with consent, credited to them, and never used to rank places.

Questions we intend to study

  • How can local knowledge about land, water and services be recorded with consent and shared back with the community?
  • How should community accounts sit alongside official statistics when the two differ?

These are questions, not findings. See how we study.
