CONCEPT AND PHILOSOPHY

Environment: biophysical, economic,
institutional, legal & socio-cultural

PACTeam Canada begins at the intersection of the three components of development - people, organisations and resources - and works with clients to explore the dynamic biophysical, economic, institutional, legal and socio-cultural environment within which they operate.

Such an approach and the situational knowledge it generates makes a beneficial contribution to sustainability and offers our clients an integrated, holistic approach.

All of our activities are guided by a set of core beliefs:

• All natural things are inter-connected, and therefore must be managed as a whole
• The integration of local and scientific knowledge results in better management
• Joint learning and capacity building among all parties in the process is a key to success
• Doing things with people and organizations is better than doing things for people and organizations
• Open and honest communication & information development results in informed decision-making
• Outside parties can offer valuable insight into processes, situations, opportunities and challenges
