We are an independent society based in Chennai, Tamilnadu, formed by the Tamilnadu Corporation(TNCDW) for development of Women
http://www.tamilnaduwomen.org
. The TNCDW through its experiences with NGO partnerships in the IFAD and the Mahalir Thittam programmes realized the importance of resource inputs to the development sector in the form of capacity building, human resource development, and information availability on development experiences and data support. After a number of brainstorming sessions with development experts, it was realized that there was need for an independent resource center which would cater to the above needs.
To make this completely independent and sustainable in the long run, it was decided to register it as a society which would work with both the Govt and the NGO sector, converging all their efforts. The Government on its part has allocated funding support to this organization.
The specific objectives of the center are
-
Building capacities of development organizations.
-
Tapping the potentials of the common citizens and channelising them towards the development and NGO sector through the spirit of volunteerism.
-
Providing information on the development sector to NGOs so as to help them learn and grow
