"Social Surveys Africa has a long-standing relationship with Anglo American and has conducted a range of large social research studies for us over the past twenty years… In addition to designing the study and collecting the data, Social Surveys analysed the strategic implications of the empirical materials for AAP’s policies affecting both migrant and local employees, including policies on housing, transport, indebtedness, health care, employee communication and other related fields. These strategic implications are now being presented to and debated by all levels of management within Anglo American as they impact on our business across sectors."

"The survey sites are all highly volatile and frequently violent communities. The first round of field work was completed in the three weeks before the local government elections, a particularly sensitive time. Social Surveys was able to design and manage the field work process, including community entry and data collection, in a way which navigated this complex environment."

"Social Surveys Africa's independent observer role has provided invaluable advice to all our partners in this complex project (survey of 36000 respondents with strict representative sampling criteria and an experimental, partnership-based and youth-employment-supporting implementation model), helping the team to identify underlying assumptions work with risks and bottlenecks, and manage challenging relationships."

Dr. Rob Moore

Executive Director, GCRO

"The experience and knowledge of Social Surveys with regards to understanding the mining industry and the accommodation challenges in the country was invaluable during the planning, design and overall survey management.
