Promoting Civil Society Action by supporting the resource gaps and building capacities of CSOs

BRLF funds various projects across the country. It selects local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) through a careful process to ensure effective strategies and strong efforts. BRLF supports these CSOs by filling resource gaps and providing technical help to improve their work and build their skills. It also starts innovative projects at the grassroots level, turning them into learning labs for future replication and scaling up.

  • BRLF supports resource gaps of selected CSO partners who have demonstrated promising outcomes in rural livelihoods through their innovations. 
  • Provide technical support to improve the quality of their work and build their capacities.
  • Initiate work on innovative approaches and pilots implemented at the grassroots, so they become the living laboratories of learning for replication and scaling up.
  • Maintain a database of promising innovations and their outcomes for adoption into the government’s development programming. 

BRLF provides funding support to a variety of projects across the breadth of the country, particularly in 10 states (Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra) that form the Central Indian Tribal Belt. Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) that have a local presence are selected through a multi-layered process adopted by BRLF to ensure that the desired results are produced through right strategies as well as great efforts.
