What does TNC staff say about the social side of their work and capacity building needs for social impact assessment?
Results of April 2011 survey on needs for capacity building on socioeconomic monitoring and working with local human communities and indigenous peoples

To support efforts to improve the Conservancy’s conservation work and more effectively integrate the human dimension in our strategies, we recently asked Conservancy program and focal area directors and staff to participate in a brief exploratory survey. The objectives of the survey were to better understand: 1) the needs for capacity building on socioeconomic monitoring at the Conservancy, and 2) staff’s interests and needs regarding working with local human communities and indigenous peoples.   This survey was available in English, Spanish, Bahasa, and Portuguese on Survey Monkey  from March 23 through April 11, 2011. E-mail messages were sent to directors of different programs and focal areas to ask for their participation and help in reaching out to their staff whose work may be related to local human communities and indigenous peoples
