Social Research and Policy Analysis

We conduct qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research to understand social, economic, institutional, and political dynamics. Our services include social research, socioeconomic studies, policy analysis, social mapping, community profiling, and research to inform evidence-based policies and programmes.

Sinergi Riset provides research, consulting, evaluation, and advisory services to support evidence-based decision-making, inclusive development, sustainable resource management, and social and environmental transformation. Our services combine rigorous social research, participatory approaches, quantitative and qualitative methods, and contextual knowledge to generate practical and policy-relevant solutions.

Labour and Decent Work

We provide research and advisory services on labour, employment, decent work, industrial relations, occupational safety and health, labour rights, and working conditions. We also conduct labour and supply-chain assessments, including research on child labour, forced labour, worker welfare, and responsible business practices.

Forest and Environmental Governance

We support organisations in understanding and addressing challenges related to forest governance, environmental management, natural-resource governance, and socio-environmental conflicts. Our services include governance assessments, stakeholder analysis, social and environmental research, and studies of community–environment relationships.

Climate Change and Carbon

We provide research and advisory services related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, carbon initiatives, climate governance, and low-carbon development. Our work examines the social dimensions of climate action and supports programmes seeking to connect environmental sustainability with local livelihoods and development.

Social Forestry and Community-Based Natural Resource Management

We conduct research and provide technical support on social forestry, community-based forest management, tenure and access rights, participatory land-use planning, and sustainable livelihoods. Our approach places communities and their knowledge at the centre of efforts to strengthen rights, improve forest governance, and promote sustainable resource use.

Value Chain and Responsible Supply Chains

We undertake value-chain and supply-chain research to identify economic, social, labour, and environmental dynamics from production to markets. Our services include supply-chain mapping, stakeholder analysis, labour-risk assessment, responsible sourcing studies, and research on sustainability and traceability in sectors such as palm oil, forestry, mining, agriculture, fisheries, and other commodities.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact Assessment

We design and implement monitoring, evaluation, learning, and impact assessment studies for development programmes, policies, projects, and interventions. Our services include baseline and endline studies, process evaluation, outcome and impact assessment, theory of change development, participatory evaluation, and mixed-methods evaluation.

Climate Change Adaptation and Sustainable Energy

We conduct research, assessment, and advisory services on climate change adaptation, sustainable energy transitions, and community resilience. Our work examines how communities, institutions, and economic sectors can respond to climate risks while promoting equitable and environmentally sustainable development.

We support climate vulnerability and risk assessments, adaptation planning, renewable energy and energy-transition studies, and community-based climate action. Our approaches integrate socio-economic, environmental, institutional, and policy perspectives to identify practical solutions for strengthening resilience, improving energy access, reducing environmental impacts, and supporting a just transition toward low-carbon development.
