Sustainability, Impact & Future External Evaluation Report of MANAVODAYA - A Partner of The Development Fund
Manavodaya has been a partner organisation of the Development Fund (DF) since 1987-88. By the early 1990s Manavodaya started to organise Self Help Groups (SHG) for promoting savings and credit, and as a basis for promoting economic, social and political empowerment of the village poor, especially women and men belonging to the "scheduled" castes. Parallel MANAVODAYA has become a centre in training in participatory methods, self-help and empowerment. DF is phasing out its support to MANAVODAYA by the end of 2005. An external programme evaluation was carried out of the MANAVODAYA project, as well as an institutional assessment related to the plans for phasing out support.
