Anthropology

Anthropology helps us revisit what we deem necessary, urgent, or expendable, and what could be the consequences of allowing such thinking to undergird our research and projects. On the other hand, anthropological methodology also emphasizes the on-the-ground, human-centered approach. It provides tools to engage key actors and historically excluded communities in the policymaking process. In this way, we can better understand differences of needs, priorities, and living circumstances in various groups.
