It is observed that donors find it challenging to identify, assess and select credible NGOs with sound institutional track record to carry forward their development agenda.
Therefore, to instill further trust mainly among the donors and related stakeholders, Saathi considers it imperative that a repository of NGOs doing work on different themes and geographies be created more specifically for the state of Rajasthan.
Saathi through its experience and expertise would undertake validation of a small proportion of the total universe of NGOs in Rajasthan state. This curated NGO information repository would serve as a credible and accredited database of NGOs in Rajasthan for being able to be provided grant funds with confidence for development and CSR projects by donors.
The NGO information repository would be refreshed periodically to provide the most up to date details of NGOs accredited by Saathi. These organizations would be assessed through a rigorous due diligence process and aggregated data for such organizations would be made readily available on an online platform.
This could also serve as a pre award due diligence of NGOs for donors considering funding support to such NGOs
