Building the Capabilities Behind Social Change
Samarthya is an impact-enablement initiative working with social organisations to strengthen the evidence, intelligence, resources and communication that support their work. We bring together research, analysis and creative problem-solving to address the gaps that often sit behind effective programme delivery.
Why we exist
Capacity is the constraint, not commitment.
Organisations working on complex social challenges are often focused on the immediate needs of the communities they serve. As a result, functions such as impact measurement, funding research, documentation and public communication can receive limited attention.
Samarthya works to strengthen these areas without taking away from the organisation’s core work.
Our philosophy
We work alongside, not in front.
We believe organisations understand their communities and programmes best.
Our role is not to prescribe solutions, but to work alongside them, understand their context and build resources that are relevant to their needs.
Research-led. Collaborative. Practical. Built to last.
See how we work.
Every engagement runs through six stages, from understanding the organisation to leaving something behind that keeps working.
