的 Young Initiative Task Force Model for City and Community Partnerships

任务部队 are student research groups conducting fixed-term, 针对问题进行, and policy-oriented research, guided by academic advisors and overseen by a client (e.g.(地方政府). Research generally falls into six types:

  • Exploratory or mapping: Broad comparison of city policies, plans, and data availability vs. international agreements and datasets.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Outreach to gauge interest/issues (public, 私人, non-profit); expert outreach (academics, 政策制定者).

  • 数据评估 & Collection: Review of data made available through the client to identify gaps in services and data transparency itself.

  • Landscape Analysis: Detailed but broad assessment of issue-specific policies, services, and access.

  • Best Practice Case Studies: Rich case study research on successful practices that can be transferred or translated into a local context.

  • 建议 & Recommendation: Direct request for recommendations or contributions on a specific issue/project/question.

任务部队 drive change and 创新 on multidimensional issues at the municipal level. 的ir model represents a unique opportunity for students to exercise their critical thinking, 数据分析, and communication skills and act as consultants in service with local city governments.
