As a part of the sourcing process, established networks recommend their community-based partners to us. Referred as ‘Nodes’ or ‘Nodal partners’ are individuals or organizations from the larger non-profit sector that have worked with smaller organizations in various capacities.
At Rebuild, we operate as a platform that enables value exchange across and among stakeholders within the ecosystem. A key component of this is building the capacity of portfolio NGOs and enabling them to build a peer community. We do this via action-oriented learning and trust-based networks, and a combination of direct and partner driven delivery for increased accessibility and greater value exchange.
Our partner NGO interventions are enhancing social protection by building agencies, protecting rights, and supporting health and education infrastructure while nurturing the well-being of communities and NGO staff. With a focus on fostering India’s vulnerable communities, we have conducted 6 capacity building workshops for our NGO leaders to build a robust peer network for developing organizational, programmatic, and financial resilience in our portfolio.
The Rebuild India capacity building initiative takes a participatory approach to building the capabilities of proximate leaders, working alongside them to identify key areas that need strengthening to support vulnerable communities. Experienced external facilitators and sector experts are brought into workshops for selected NGO cohorts, creating a mix of case-study-based facilitation, peer and expert-led sessions and group activities.
The team hosts virtual and in-person workshops for the portfolio each year in a variety of formats, enabling leaders to learn, share their work, explore collaborative opportunities within and outside the Rebuild community.
