Our Strategic Approach
Evidence-based methodology and integrated development strategies that bring about lasting behavioral change and sustained community transformation.
For comprehensive community development and lasting impact, Agragami uses holistic and integrated intervention approaches rather than fragmented single-issue interventions, addressing multiple aspects of poverty simultaneously.
Focus on youth as the starting point of change, recognizing their potential as catalysts for community transformation and future leaders who can drive sustainable development initiatives.
Bring about sustainable change in behaviour by changing a critical mass during a two-to-five-year intervention period, focusing not just on individual behaviour, but on social norms
Make certain that interventions reach those who are most vulnerable.
Develop and use resource persons from within communities to motivate change, so that they can continue to support change after intervention projects end.
Collaborate with other agencies, rather than duplicate efforts.
