Rural Research and Technology Innovation

Rural Research assesses the impact that on-ground interventions yield to understand what works and what doesn’t. Using a mixed methods approach, research is an integral component of the project lifecycle, from initiation to completion. It helps measure the impact we create on the ground and ensures sustainability in the long run.

Adaptive Technology initiative focuses on piloting innovations in water, agriculture, and education with the purpose of integrating new advancements to enrich developmental solutions and to create impact at scale. Integrating tech-based solutions through the use of artificial intelligence is undertaken to make programs and processes more efficient and result-driven.
