Reading the territory

Decide with a real reading of the territory.

Every project unfolds inside a territory with its own stakeholders, risks, and perceptions. Social Diagnosis analyzes stakeholders, identifies risks, and gathers community perception to generate evidence before you decide.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before defining the scope.

Which decisions does a social diagnosis inform?

It can inform investment, project design, territorial entry, engagement, mitigation, resource allocation, and monitoring priorities.

Is a diagnosis only a survey?

No. It integrates documentary sources, stakeholders, context, perceptions, risks, and management capacity. Methods are selected according to scope and decision.

Does it include fieldwork?

It can when the territory, access, stage, and exposure level require it. Scope is defined before information is collected.
