SayPro Capacity Development Initiative
Objective: To Train and Capacitate Learners, Analysts, and Researchers Using the SayPro Methodology on Behavioural Research
1.SayPro Introduction
SayPro is committed to advancing behavioural research capacity by training and empowering a new generation of learners, analysts, and researchers. This initiative is built upon the SayPro Methodology—a structured, evidence-based framework designed to investigate, interpret, and apply behavioural insights to real-world challenges, particularly in consumer behaviour and social impact contexts.
2.SayPro Purpose of the Training and Capacity-Building Program
The primary purpose of this initiative is to:
- Build foundational and advanced competencies in behavioural science and research methodologies.
- Ensure alignment with the SayPro Methodology, promoting consistency and integrity across all SayPro-led or affiliated research.
- Cultivate a research-literate workforce capable of generating and applying insights that inform policy, product development, service delivery, and strategic communication.
- Support internal and external stakeholders by developing a pool of qualified professionals trained in behavioural research best practices.
3.SayPro Target Audience
- Learners: Students and early-career professionals seeking foundational knowledge in behavioural research.
