Strategy papers & reports

It took us close to 5 years of working at the grassroots and in several programmes to narrow down on who our work must focus on and what we have to do for them in the social sector.

Eradicate poverty. This is Naandi's vision. And after evaluating the scale of problems that contributed to the creation of poverty, we narrowed our interventions to three areas which we felt need innovations to change lives to make a large scale impact

The links below take you to the strategy papers that describe in detail the whys, hows and the wherefores of what we are doing in these programmes and our vision behind it. Following the section of Strategy Papers is an archive of our past Annual Reports that document both our programmatic reach and impact together with the financials, and the penultimate section is on assessment and impact reports of our programmes made by third party evaluators that give an independent review on how our programmes are working.
