Community research
Joint field studies, participatory inquiry and locally grounded evidence.
Partner with us
Shared questions. Clear responsibilities. Useful knowledge.
RFI works with communities and institutions where local knowledge matters, questions cross sectors or established approaches are insufficient.
Partnership opportunities
Different contributions, built around a common purpose.
Indigenous knowledge
Ethical documentation, archiving, intergenerational learning and public education.
Climate resilience
Community adaptation, regenerative practice, food systems, water and biodiversity.
Policy engagement
Evidence briefs, stakeholder dialogue and community participation in decisions.
Institutional capability
Strategy, foresight, knowledge systems, leadership learning and organisational development.
Programme partnership
Collaborative programme design, pilot implementation, learning and responsible scale.
Who we work with
Partners across knowledge, community and institutional life.
Potential partners include communities, traditional and public institutions, universities, schools, civil society organisations, foundations, development agencies, researchers, cultural institutions, professional networks and responsible businesses.
Partnership begins with a clear question, agreed responsibilities and a shared understanding of how the resulting knowledge will be governed and used.
