Governance and institutional strengthening
We review governance practices, decision-making processes, board and management responsibilities, documentation and key operational risks. Support may include governance gap assessment, prioritised action plans, governance calendars, board orientation, meeting structures and action tracking.
Policies, SOPs and accountability systems
We help organisations draft or review policies, standard operating procedures and internal guidance covering HR, finance, procurement, conflict of interest, code of conduct, delegation of authority, documentation, safeguarding and grievance processes.
Proposal development and CSR funding readiness
We support concept notes, project proposals, budgets, Theory of Change, outcome articulation and donor-facing communication. Funding readiness also involves being able to explain governance, demonstrate delivery capacity and show how progress will be monitored and reported.
Documentation and compliance support
We help NGOs understand documentation and reporting responsibilities, organise records and build systems that support consistent reporting and audit readiness. For matters requiring legal opinions or specialised statutory services, an appropriately qualified professional should be engaged.
Programme design, M&E and impact measurement
We help NGOs develop a Theory of Change, results chain or logical framework, select indicators, set targets and identify assumptions, risks and learning questions. Deliverables may include M&E frameworks, data-collection formats, survey and interview guides, reporting calendars, evaluation reports and learning workshops.
Capacity building and team development
Learning sessions can cover project management, proposal development, M&E and data literacy, documentation, reporting, leadership, communication and team effectiveness. Formats include workshops, train-the-trainer sessions, coaching clinics and learning circles.
People, culture, POSH and DEI
We offer POSH awareness and sensitisation, Internal Committee orientation, process and documentation guidance, gender sensitisation and DEI advisory. Legal compliance should be validated with the organisation’s legal adviser.
Social Stock Exchange readiness
For eligible NPOs exploring the Social Stock Exchange, Samvardhan—in collaboration with Vihra—offers orientation and readiness support, including initial eligibility review, governance and documentation review, project structuring and Fund Raising Document preparation.
