Janali and Co. offer inclusive engagement support to ensure communities are heard on issues that matter.

We facilitate community and stakeholder engagement processes using a variety of creative methods that are tailored to the unique context of each client, community and project.

The Janali & Co. team bring lived experience and facilitation expertise to projects through our established network of co-facilitators whom we engage to support projects. 

We analyse feedback, generating valuable insights that can inform policy, strategies and projects.

We have significant expertise engaging with harder to reach groups, working in low socio-economic communities and intercultural contexts.

We support collaborative planning, problem-solving, and collective action. 

To support planning efforts we undertake social research, stakeholder engagement, asset mapping & community needs assessments.

 We have expertise in planning across a variety of social policy areas and draw on our partnerships with industry experts to bring specialist expertise to our project teams in areas such as homelessness, public health, infrastructure planning and population research.

Janali & Co. is dedicated to turning ideas into action by collaborating with clients and their communities to co-create impactful strategies and projects that lead to lasting, meaningful change.

Our team has expertise in the development of social strategies and plans across a range of policy areas. We bring a community development lens to social planning, helping organisations collaborate with stakeholders to develop plans that reflect their communities needs, aspirations and assets.

We also support organisations with the design of new projects. This work often takes place as part of tender or grant processes, during which we assist clients and their partners to develop logic models, implementation plans, community engagement strategies and partnership frameworks.

Janali & Co. helps organisations embed evaluation principles and practices to demonstrate their impact and improve outcomes for their communities.

We design evaluation frameworks, undertake evaluations and reviews of community development initiatives and help build capability in evaluation.

We understand that assessing the outcomes of community development work can be challenging. Outcomes are often intangible and difficult to quantify. We bring an approach that values the importance of stories in understanding social change.

We have capability in both quantitative and qualitative analysis. We visualise results using design platforms and Power BI.
