For solutions to long term challenges and vulnerabilities, strategies have to first identify the basket of problems and locate aspects of that process which first inhibit the poor themselves, believing they have a role and contribution to make in finding the solutions.

Action Research helps to document and analyze those challenges and vulnerabilities. Studies help priorities to get set and communities begin to link affordability and aspirations to balance out what is possible, then examine what structurally still continues to define obstructions in the form of resources, existing rules regulations and build strategies to address them.
