Involve’s mission has always been to focus on providing sustainable help to underprivileged populations. This goal was reflected in the inaugural research question posed during the initial Involve Project in 2012: “Can we set up a long lasting initiative that provides people at the ‘Bottom of the Pyramid’ with clean drinking water?”. Subsequently, a feasibility study was performed on a Dutch NGO to assess the viability of projects aimed at providing clean drinking water in Cameroon.
Over the years, the Involve Consultancy Project has continued to conduct research on the impact of various factors on the quality of life in developing countries. In 2021, Involve collaborated with the UN Refugee Agency to investigate the Graduation Approach in Uganda; targeting households in extreme poverty. Last year, in 2023, we partnered with Barefoot College International to explore strategies for increasing donor acquisitions in Zanzibar.
Working in collaboration with an NGO or a social enterprise, participants will receive guidance and support to execute this impactful research. The project unfolds over three months of desk research (April-June), followed by two immersive weeks of field research abroad ( July/August), culminating in a final presentation for the partner in September. Past editions have taken place all around the world, exploring countries like Ghana, Indonesia, Uganda, Peru, Cameroon, Tanzania, Kenya and Nepal. Each year, the project evolves and its success continues to grow.
