Association for Promoting Social Action (APSA) – A Critical Review of the Organisation and its Programmes for the Urban Poor and Vulnerable Children
The Association for Promoting Social Action (APSA) is a non-governmental organisation that works with child labourers, street children and other children in distress as well as the larger communities of the urban slums in Bangalore and Hyderabad through a combination of institutional and outreach projects. Motivated by the motto 'For Development without Exploitation', it has worked at the grassroots and the national and state policy levels in partnership with communities to help them realise their rights as humans and citizens for twenty-six years. The evaluation is a mid-term evaluation, being conducted within the agreement period of 2004-2008 between FORUT and APSA. The evaluation is intended to be a useful tool for APSA internally, with an impact assessment as a valuable input in their project planning for the years to come, and might provide inputs for learning and for further development of the organisation.
