Questions, answered

Good partnerships start with clarity.

Here are a few useful starting points for organisations exploring a CSR collaboration with Sandhan.

What areas can we support through a CSR partnership?

Potential areas include education and foundational learning, adolescent development, gender equity, life skills, livelihoods, digital inclusion, community empowerment, research and capacity building. The final scope should be agreed together.

Can a programme be tailored to our CSR priorities?

Yes. A first discussion can help align your organisation's priorities with community needs, geography, intended outcomes, timelines and implementation possibilities.

How are outcomes and progress reviewed?

Monitoring indicators, documentation and reporting expectations can be agreed during programme design. Specific measures should reflect the intervention and should not be assumed before the project is planned.

Can we discuss employee volunteering?
