Redefining community engagement by shifting from top-down approaches to empowering individuals as active architects of policy making
At Impera, we are a UK-based data analytics company with a social purpose, dedicated to assisting organizations with a shared commitment to social impact. Our collaborative efforts extend across diverse sectors, including local and central governments, charitable foundations, and corporates. Grounded in the belief that positive change begins with informed decisions, our mission is to contribute to the creation of better societies, one data point at a time.
Impera covers the full spectrum of data, from quantitative to qualitative, ensuring that positive change can occur on both micro and macro levels. By integrating comprehensive data analysis, we aim to assure social progress and improve individuals’ and community's everyday lives, ultimately fostering a more equitable and thriving society.
The Citizen-led Impact model trains and supports local researchers to study livelihood factors in their neighborhoods. We aim to understand how economic, housing, municipal services, environmental, and social factors affect prosperity and well-being. Our goal is to use this research to shape policies, planning, and investments for better quality of life and opportunities in communities.
