OUR PARTNERS & ECOSYSTEM

Partnerships that
turn ideas into action.

Strong community programmes need more than a good idea. They need implementation capacity, local networks, employers, institutions and partners who can work together to create meaningful outcomes.

80+ Implementation Centres 18+ NGO & Community Partners
Kalakunj Foundation partnership and community implementation
OUR ECOSYSTEM

A network built for implementation.

Kalakunj Foundation works through a combination of institutional collaborations, NGO partnerships, community networks, implementation centres and employer connections.

Depending on the programme requirement, we can work through existing centres and local networks or establish project-specific implementation locations in new geographies.

This flexibility allows Kalakunj to work with partners on programmes ranging from skilling and employability to entrepreneurship, women livelihoods, education, health, environment and community development.

In some engagements, project requirements have also involved establishing temporary or project-specific implementation locations so that delivery can begin in a new geography.

GEOGRAPHIC FLEXIBILITY

Existing reach, future-ready expansion.

Kalakunj's implementation experience extends across nine states through its network, institutional relationships and project collaborations.

The existing network provides a foundation for delivery, but it is not a geographic limit.

When a new project requires implementation in another state or district, Kalakunj can develop a project-specific delivery structure by working with local organisations, community networks, trainers, mobilisers and implementation centres.

TRAINING & STANDARDS

Structured around relevant job roles.

Kalakunj has delivered training across multiple job-role and sector requirements, including programmes designed around NSQF-aligned and Sector Skill Council-aligned frameworks where applicable to the project.

IMPORTANT

Programme-specific alignment

Training content, job roles, assessment requirements and certification arrangements are determined according to the specific programme and its implementing / certifying requirements.

Kalakunj does not represent itself as affiliated with or certified by any particular Sector Skill Council unless such affiliation or certification is separately established for that programme.

Experience across skilling, livelihoods, education, entrepreneurship, health, environment and employability.
