GRASSROOTS RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY MOVEMENT
Is a public policy research and advocacy initiative in India. GRAAM’s extensive expertise spans over policy research, program evaluation, community consultation, policy engagement, strategic consultation and academic programs. GRAAM works in collaboration with all the four key stakeholders of development i.e. Government, Citizenry, Civil Society Organizations and Corporate. GRAAM believes that the key stakeholders of development – the community, the State, the NGO/CSO and the private sector are essential in the process of development. Complementing strengths of each sector is essential to achieve the development goals. GRAAM aims to ensure the ‘voices’ of the communities at the grassroots are significantly accounted for in the process of development. We are uniquely positioned in the policy landscape of India as our research, evaluation, and policy engagement are firmly established with pragmatism and taking ground realities in to the account. Thereby we provide evidence-based and actionable policy/program inputs incorporating grassroots perspectives, aiming towards a citizen-centric public policy.
