Bridging Peoples: Transforming Communities through Research and Consulting

Bridging Peoples

• WORK
• Our research and assessments are designed to give
  organisations the detailed, contextually-nuanced
  insights they need to improve their work on the
  ground. We also help organisations to develop
  their own community engagement strategies,
  specific to their work and community context.

• LEARN
• Our online and in-person professional development
  programs range from courses for those getting
  started, to practical training for community
  facilitators, to training in strategic community
  engagement for program designers and managers. We
  also provide team packages, tailored to fit
  organisational needs.

• NETWORK
• The Bridging Peoples Network is an online
  community of researchers, aid development
  professionals, trainers, and social change makers
  from around the world. Members benefit from a
  range of resources, events and webinars, learning
  from us, and with each other. The network is free
  to join.

• PODCAST
• Bridging Peoples Podcast takes you behind the
  scenes to talk with researchers and practitioners
  about their work in different parts of the world.
  Every conversation brings you a mix of research,
  stories and insights from from people doing
  fascinating things, in fascinating places.

• About Us
• Bridging Peoples first began in Timor-Leste in
  2015. Our mission is to promote sustainable
  development through effective community
  engagement in Timor-Leste. The idea was simple
  to see if

the principles of good community engagement could
be usefully applied to large-scale aid and
development programs. And it worked.
Since then, we have gone from strength to
strength, transforming from a small consulting
outfit based in Timor-Leste to a global network
of like-minded professionals, all committed to
improving the impact of aid and development by
bridging the critical gap between aid
organisations and local communities.
