Track whether climate-resilient livelihood practices and support systems are improving stability and opportunity.
3 to 5 year strategy
A practical theory of change for rooted resilience.
The strategy connects on-the-ground delivery, evidence generation, and institutional influence in service of lasting adaptive capacity across Northeast India over the next 3 to 5 years.
Theory of change
If the Trust delivers, learns, and convenes well, resilience grows at multiple levels.
Our working theory connects on-the-ground delivery with practical evidence and institutional influence, each strand reinforcing the others over time.
If we
Deliver and generate evidence
Work with communities on climate-resilient livelihoods while documenting what is changing and what is feasible.
Then
Adoption and access improve
Households adopt practices, access services, and improve stability even under heat and weather stress.
Leading to
Stronger long-term adaptive capacity
Communities, institutions, and partnerships are better able to respond to climate volatility over time.
Strategic phases
A phased approach for the next 3 to 5 years.
The strategy is designed for phased growth: establishing credibility and field presence first, then demonstrating results, then scaling through aligned partnerships.
Set up governance, partnerships, baseline understanding, and early programme pilots that prove the Trust can operate with discipline and grounded relevance.
Refine programme models, publish early learning, and develop clear reporting on outcomes, adoption, and institutional fit.
Use evidence, relationships, and working demonstrations to expand reach, influence implementation, and attract aligned funding.
Measurement
Key reporting areas for partners and funders.
A focused set of reporting areas designed to show progress across livelihoods, health, and organisational health, with full transparency to communities, funders, and partners.
Monitor uptake of protective behaviours, illness days, and responsiveness to early warning systems.
Build a transparent institution that meets compliance, audit, and capacity milestones reliably.
