With generous support from the Hewlett Foundation, Mercy Corps undertook LEAPP research to understand how community members themselves regard community-led programs, and how they evaluate the contributions made by different groups — or actors — promoting development in their areas.
Mercy Corps worked with independent research firms in Iraq and Afghanistan to interview a total of 1,032 community leaders and members. Twenty-one focus groups were also conducted. Data was analyzed by Globescan Incorporated, an international research consultancy with over two decades of experience in conducting multi-country public and stakeholder opinion surveys.
