After the WPI Hawai`i Project Center changed locations to Oahu, there was a need to strengthen the center by identifying suitable WPI project partners and obtaining information on relevant challenges on Oahu. To accomplish this, our team developed criteria to measure the suitability of organizations for WPI projects by interviewing WPI Project Center Directors. We then characterized community development activity on Oahu by interviewing community development organizations. We created a sortable Organization Database where we measured these organizations against the criteria. This database is accompanied by a report that details community challenges on Oahu and makes recommendations to strengthen the Hawai`i Project Center.
