Community Voice
We are directed by the community’s voice through its established leaders and organizers
Everything begins with the community's voice. In this phase, DMCI listens by partnering with community organizers and leaders to establish a qualitative dataset from intentionally small community dialogues. DMCI then pairs supportive quantitative data with the community's voice to further strengthen the response to its desires, concerns, and sentiment. The product of this work culminates in what we refer to as a Community Voice Report, published for reporting back to the community and sparking Community Action.
