Project Catalyst

Lend A Hand India takes an inside-out approach to deepen partnerships with state governments through Project Catalyst. This program supports state governments by providing quality talent support for technical and program management function to offer vocational education as part of mainstream education in multiple state. Qualified staff members, trained and employed by Lend A Hand India are embedded within the State department of education to support the state on policy execution.

These team members are co-located and work alongside the government officials at state, division, and district levels to prepare a long-term strategic roadmap, draft funding proposals, and execute the policy implementation. This is a noteworthy case of non-profits bridging the critical gap in service provision, and building strong teams that can deliver on complex and bold outcomes that defines the systems change.
