FJEG Global's consulting practice is built on a foundation of rigorous academic research and field-based evidence. Our work spans water justice, environmental governance, climate adaptation, and sustainable development across Africa and the United States.
Our research on water justice in Benin revealed deep spatial inequities in access to drinking water — with rural and peri-urban communities bearing a disproportionate burden of water insecurity. This evidence directly informed our consulting practice and the design of community water governance programmes that are now being implemented across West Africa.
A comprehensive spatial analysis examining the geographic distribution of drinking water access across Benin, identifying systemic inequities affecting rural and peri-urban communities. The research employed GIS hotspot analysis, household surveys, and policy review to produce actionable recommendations for water governance reform.
A systematic assessment of water development projects across sub-Saharan Africa, evaluating sustainability outcomes, community ownership, and long-term functionality. The study developed a sustainability framework applicable to future water infrastructure investments.
An applied research study developing and testing a set of sustainable tourism indicators for small and medium enterprises in Benin's tourism sector, contributing to the country's sustainable development planning and ecotourism policy frameworks.
A longitudinal analysis of air quality trends in Cotonou, Benin's economic capital, examining the drivers of urban air pollution and evaluating the effectiveness of existing control strategies. The research proposed evidence-based policy interventions for urban air quality management.
A geographic and economic diagnostic of tourism assets and constraints in Benin's Ouémé and Plateau departments, producing a strategic promotion framework for sustainable tourism development in the region.
A comprehensive environmental assessment of a major pipeline infrastructure project in West Africa, analysing ecological, social, and resource-management considerations to inform project planning, environmental safeguards, and community engagement strategies.
An examination of decarbonisation policy pathways, evaluating the effectiveness of different regulatory and market-based approaches in achieving net-zero emissions targets while maintaining climate resilience and social equity.
An investigation of the intersections between decarbonisation strategies, climate justice principles, and sustainable economic development, with particular attention to equity implications for developing countries and marginalised communities.
Comprehensive household water insecurity assessments conducted across low-income communities in Benin, evaluating water access, usage patterns, service reliability, and implications for public health and social resilience using the validated HWISE instrument.
An evaluation of how environmental stress and water scarcity influence resource governance systems, with a focus on sustainability, equity, and long-term resilience in water-stressed communities across Africa.
Advanced spatial analysis of water resource distribution across Texas using ArcGIS, hotspot analysis, and cluster-outlier techniques to identify resource availability patterns, spatial inequities, and policy implications for water management.
Assessment of environmental compliance and regulatory performance at the Brandon Shores Power Plant, evaluating environmental risks, regulatory requirements, and policy implications for the energy sector's transition to cleaner operations.
Analysis of sustainable water management strategies, climate resilience approaches, and environmental governance frameworks for viticulture systems and rural communities in the Republic of Benin.
Nine standards-aligned Geography and Environmental Justice lesson plans developed and delivered to approximately 1,200 high school students, covering topics including water access, climate change, environmental justice, and sustainable development. The curriculum has been recognised for its innovative approach to connecting global environmental issues with local community realities.
A comparative policy analysis evaluating climate adaptation and water governance initiatives across the Global South, assessing policy effectiveness, equity outcomes, and institutional responses to climate-related risks. The study provides a framework for cross-country learning and policy transfer.
Research examining water management challenges in the San Joaquin River Basin, with a focus on implications for agriculture, water resource allocation, and environmental sustainability in one of California's most critical agricultural and ecological regions.
Evaluation of landfill management practices at the Fort Smith Landfill, identifying opportunities for improved sustainability, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance. The study produced actionable recommendations for waste management reform.
