Knowledge Sharing and Policy Development

CARM and NGOs constantly exchange insights and data, which is crucial in shaping effective policies. This collaboration ensures that the policies are well-informed, reflecting the actual needs and challenges faced by minority communities. It also helps in identifying emerging issues and trends that need to be addressed proactively.

Collaborative Program Design and Implementation

Designing programs that address the unique needs of minority communities requires diverse perspectives and expertise. By collaborating with NGOs, CARM can leverage the on-ground experience and specialized knowledge that these organizations bring. This partnership ensures that programs are not only theoretically sound but also practically viable and culturally sensitive.

Partnership in Program Delivery

The joint delivery of programs allows CARM and NGOs to pool their resources, reach a wider audience, and enhance the impact of their initiatives. NGOs often have established trust within communities, which facilitates better engagement and participation. This collaborative effort ensures that programs are implemented efficiently and effectively.

Participatory Budgeting – Small Project Grants

We will also establish participatory budgeting panels, inviting communities to collate and/or create ideas for small scale projects that will make a difference to their community, and address poverty and inequality in some way.  Four panels will be established and invited to engage their communities in voting for one project each to be taken forward and implemented. 

Sharing Lessons Learned in Program Evaluation

Evaluating the success and impact of programs is crucial for continuous improvement. CARM and NGOs share their findings, challenges, and successes to learn from each other's experiences. This exchange of knowledge helps in refining existing programs and designing better ones in the future. It also fosters a culture of transparency and accountability.

Overall Impact

The synergistic relationship between CARM and NGOs results in more comprehensive and inclusive policies and programs. This collaboration enhances the capacity to address complex issues, fosters innovation, and ensures that the voices of minority communities are heard and considered in all stages of the process.

Through these collaborative efforts, CARM and NGOs can create a more equitable society where minority communities have equal opportunities to thrive.
