The Implementation Model
How Do We Bridge the Gap?
We conduct a comprehensive gap analysis using our CCI Evaluation tool at the start of the engagement with the CCI to identify key bottlenecks and target areas for our intervention
We devise a 3 to 5 years engagement plan for the CCI either under our GO WIDE program or our GO DEEP program that addresses the problem areas
We roll out need specific sub-programs under our 4 categories - Health and Nutrition, Education and Development, Aftercare and Livelihood and Capacity Building and Advocacy
Quarterly, Half-Yearly and Yearly Evaluation of outcomes against original targets
Weekly Monitoring and Evaluation of Program Outcomes
Catalysts for Social Action undertakes the development of a Child Care Institution under the program model for a period of 3-7 years depending on the kind of intervention required on the ground level.
