Partners, Stakeholders and Users
The philosophy and strategic thrust of the DA Group differentiates between the primary clients and intermediary partners. The Group believes in fostering a meaningful engagement with the communities through an inclusive and participatory approach. The communities are given prime importance and are treated as Primary Partners.
The Primary Clients (typically voiceless) include:
- Poor and marginalised (rural and urban)
(Direct – women and youth; indirect – children)
- Micro, Small and Medium Entrepreneurs/Enterprises
- Nature
For nearly 30 years, the organisation has been involved with a wide range of intermediary partners to multiply the work further and implement the programme/projects at scale, stakeholder consultations and participation to undertake collaborative research and policy influence.
