Research Tools and SCORE
Participatory research and diagnostic tools that uncover the drivers of social cohesion, resilience and democratic development, identify assets and vulnerabilities, and reveal entry points with the greatest potential for positive change.
Core Offering: The Diagnostics
Decision-ready evidence for complex peace and development challenges to help actors understand what is happening, why it is happening, and where action can make a difference.
SeeD's flagship Social Cohesion and Reconciliation Index (SCORE) and its specialised adaptations (e.g. DRIVE, EPI) peace polling, resilience assessments, early-warning tools and thematic diagnostics help partners move beyond general or insufficiently granular perceptions of peace and conflict. Our offering combines context-specific survey design, participatory calibration, sampling and fieldwork quality assurance, advanced data analysis, and evidence translation so partners can identify practical priorities for policy, funding and programming.
- Questionnaire design for social cohesion, trust, participation, resilience, governance, and related themes.
- Sampling strategy, fieldwork planning, quality assurance, and data cleaning support.
- Analysis and reporting that connects findings to practical programme or policy questions.
