Manitoba Research Alliance for Transforming Inner-city and
Aboriginal Communities

The Manitoba Research Alliance for Transforming Inner-city and Aboriginal Communities
is a five-year research project dedicated to solving the complex problems of poverty and
social exclusion in Manitoba’s inner-city and Aboriginal communities.

The Alliance’s broad goal is to produce original work that is rooted in the community
experience and that is accountable to the community.  We want to:
Build local capacity

Produce concrete deliverables for community organization

Engage and impact policy

Contribute to a body of theory and knowledge that will help other communities to
replicate the transformative experience.  
The Alliance is made up of academic researchers from the Universities of Manitoba and
Winnipeg, government policy makers and community practitioners connected to Manitoba’s
vibrant community-based organizations.  The Manitoba branch of the Canadian Centre for
Policy Alternatives – a community-based research institute – takes administrative control of
the project.
