Local Content
Provide local content planning, reporting and strategy services to optimise your project and ensure compliance. Support local community groups and chambers of commerce to be prepared for major projects.
Local content refers to the quota of locally sourced materials, products, labor, and services that must be used in various industries, particularly within projects or operations that are foreign-funded or international. Essentially, it is a policy requirement aimed at bolstering the domestic sectors of a country by ensuring that a significant percentage of the materials or labor used in any project comes from the host country. This approach can help to foster local economic development, create jobs, and build local capacities.

Community Information Sessions & Workshops
Facilitate sessions and workshops towards particular ends, whether sharing of critical information, gathering insights, discovery work and so forth. As a neutral and objective partner, SEP can surface hard to access insights from individuals and teams.
SEP can facilitate community information sessions that help inform and educate external stakeholders about you project. This can assist in capturing good news stories, highlighting project benefits and identifying potential risks or social impacts.
Workshop facilitation can be used to understand ‘the voice of the customer’ and enable the workshop attendees to become ‘part of the solution’ and buy into the proposed solution. This is particularly important for outrage management associated with activism or disgruntled persons that have particular issues with displacement, finance or ‘way of life’ due to disruption.
Information or workshop session facilitation can be a standalone service offering or used within a larger scope of work.
Facilitation of these services typically overlap with our Public Relations, Local Content and Corporate Social Responsibility offerings, as well as other project needs on a case-by-case basis.
