InterPraxis is an established social and economic consulting firm specializing in: ethics and corporate social responsibility; international development; social auditing; and participatory research.
The name ‘InterPraxis’ is derived from the prefix ‘inter’ referring to a collaborative approach and the word ‘praxis’ meaning the translation of theory into practice. This participatory and results-based approach forms the basis of all our work, together with our dedication to quality, integrity, innovation and cost effectiveness.
What differentiates us from other firms is our commitment to assisting the organizations we work with in achieving their stated goals. We do not simply deliver reports. We also offer hands-on support for project implementation, and remain on-call until a project is brought to completion.
Our mission is to assist our clients to manage change effectively, solve complex problems, build capacity and strength for the future and enhance organizational performance by combining a sound strategy with value-added participatory, ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible practices.
Founded in 1999, we are a Canadian owned firm dedicated to quality, integrity, innovation, cost effectiveness and most importantly… RESULTS.
Many clients choose us because of our extreme adaptability and flexibility – ability to rapidly build large or small specialized teams and disband them just as quickly once the assignment has been completed. Our clients range in size from small non-profit agencies to major international corporations and government departments.
