How did we do it?
How did we reach over 17,000 people from all walks of life? How did we engage them to answer truthfully, and most importantly - what does the data enable us as changemakers to do? Watch this video for an insight into the process and how an inspired global network pulled together to make it happen.
About The People’s Report
The People's Report is a ground-breaking collaboration between Catalyst 2030, the Social Progress Imperative (SPI) and Play Verto (PV) that aims to use anonymised data and insights as a catalyst for discussion, representation and decision-making.
Our collective network and impact partners around the world circulated a playful survey, inviting participants to share their story. Translated into 43 languages, we reached grassroots communities who often never have their voices heard. By the time the survey closed on 6 September 2021, we had engaged 17,446 people from all walks of life.
The data
The data itself has undergone extensive analysis from the teams at SPI and PV, and we are supporting partners, organisations and institutions to use the insights to further their own work, ensuring these voices are represented in ongoing deliberations and strategic considerations.
The anonymised and aggregated data is available to support collective advocacy and social action at a local, national and global level.

How did we do week to week? Check out the total number of voices we captured as we journey through the weeks the survey was live. We saw a huge spike in the last fortnight thanks to the momentum of our impact partners and word getting round - and India and Europe were the best performing regions overall.
What’s next?
Where do we go from here? How do we make sure those who can change the realities of those in need, actually do? What can we do to ensure the data from The People's Report is heard and, more importantly, acted on?
2022 will see us reach more people, and with the benchmark set in this first year, we will be able to see in real-time the changes in attitudes - both physically and mentally - from those who engage and tell us their story. We must continue to put pressure on world leaders and governments to do the right thing, but we can only do that if we have the data to back up our collective voice.
