Using experienced facilitators, CER guides communities through planning and assessment processes which lead to realistic and usable plans. Identifying community needs and assets is fundamental to community planning.
To accomplish this, CER typically employs a mixed methods approach that uses both quantitative and qualitative assessment methodologies. CER provides experts in survey and polling development, data collection, and analysis in order to provide communities with reliable data for planning purposes.
In addition to quantitative data collection and analysis, CER facilitates one-to-one key informant and focus group interviews.
