The Research & Policy Development team at SCFSA is committed to shaping policies and strategies that uphold the well-being, resilience, and self-determination of its seven member Secwépemc communities. Informed by community-driven research, the team navigates an evolving policy and legislative landscape by identifying emerging trends, assessing their impacts, engaging in relevant projects, and providing strategic guidance to SCFSA and its member communities.

Through active engagement with community members and the development of innovative frameworks that reflect Secwépemc laws and cultural values, the team fosters collaboration and ensures SCFSA remains proactive and responsive. Anchored in a comprehensive framework for research and policy development, the team envisions a future where SCFSA remains adaptive to the unique needs of its seven member communities, fostering resilience, empowerment, and long-term sustainability amidst an evolving policy and legislative landscape.
