Op-ed: Rudayna Bahubeshi on community-centric research.
New op-ed! Our Principal Strategist Rudayna Bahubeshi is in Community Centric Fundraising sharing strategies for how organizations can do community-based research in ways that honour local knowledge and reduce "consultation fatigue."
Rudayna's op-ed includes:
💡 The basics of community-centric community-based research
💬 Initiating with meaningful community outreach
📝 Setting intentions with the community throughout the process
🌱 Engage with accessibility in mind and a trauma-informed lens
👥 Intentionally building relationships rather than participating in one-off engagement
"Community consultation is not a good in itself; that is, relationship building and honouring the data provided by the community – and having it inform policy and actions – is the good we are striving for."
