BC Rural Development offers research and analysis in economic development, social services, and education. Work includes policy research on critical topics, interviews with interested parties, analysis of relevant data to proposed actions, and projected impact of solutions on communities and/or issues. Our research and analysis is grounded in data which identify and demonstrate problems or issues to be addressed. Once identified, further research can be examined to support actions and planned programming.

BC Rural Development can provide an assessment of existing policy proposals, identification of the range of policy options, and selection of the policy approach that is most likely to succeed in your community or environment. Let us help you with these steps towards crafting a policy proposal, conducting a campaign, and/or achieving the desired policy change.
