SUMMARY:Empowering Grassroots
DESCRIPTION:The growth of the non-profit sector in India in the last two decades has been phenomenal. India has possibly the largest number of active non-government\, not-for-profit organizations in the world. Official estimates put the number at 3.3 million. From relief services to educational initiatives\, from healthcare projects to housing organizations\, grassroots NGOs work in numerous spheres which touch the daily lives of marginalized communities across the country to aid in empowering grassroots. Engaging directly with the people\, these grassroots development NGOs are able to participate in the thought-making process of the communities they work with\, and thus have the capacity to bring about long-term change. As such\, the sector has had a substantial contribution in the nation building process. \nBut accelerated development soon reaches a stagnant point if it is not sustainable. Ensuring sustainability of initiatives requires a reorientation of NGOs focusing on their capacity building to attain competitiveness. This is not an easy transition\, requiring grassroots NGOs to rethink and reform their programme designs\, planning\, fund mobilisation\, fund management\, and effective programme delivery. There is also a need to guide these NGOs to be able to identify and adapt with the changing national and global socio-political and economic developments which affect them. To equip and facilitate grassroots NGOs in the country to address these issues and eventually aim at achieving sustainable grassroots empowerment and community development\, Smile Foundation initiated Empowering Grassroots. \nA national capacity building programme\, Empowering Grassroots is aimed at handholding\, training and enabling community based organisations (CBOs) to maximise their impact on the ground. Under ‘Empowering Grassroots’ initiative\, CBOs are trained on vital issues relevant to the development sector in the country like scalability\, sustainability\, communication\, resource mobilisation and governance by industry experts from reputed Indian and international organisations. Handholding meetings and face to face learning sessions are held round the year to help the CBOs effectively resolve their day to day operational challenges\, helping achieve the highest social return on investment (SROI). \nEmpowering Grassroots is not only an effort to strengthen the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid in India\, but also an attempt to bring transparency and accountability in the workings of the development sector at the grassroots level. So far\, Smile Foundation has built the capacities of more than 5000 grassroots development organizations under the initiative. \nTo know more about our international alliance Change the Game click here: https://www.smilefoundationindia.org/ctgi/
