SATHI-UP is a platform of grassroots level organization promoting its core ideologies “Friendship, Dialogue and Cooperation”. SATHI-UP emerged for the needs to support the grass roots level organization through mutual sharing and cooperation in order to catalyze the development process. The founder of SATHI-UP Late Paras Bhai was a renowned Gandhian Social Worker. He had worked with many grass roots CSOs to achieve Gram Swaraj, his beliefs that the complete Gram Swaraj/Suraj (local self governance) can’t be achieved without an unite forum. SATHI-UP believes that these CSOs must be organizationally, conceptually and technically competent, in order to bring effective and long-lasting social change. In doing so, SATHI UP builds a critical mass of activists and organizations that have strong administrative processes, good governance practices, and impactful result oriented programs.
Organization Development-OD is one of the major interventions of SATHI-UP. Core concept of OD is institutional strengthening of civil society organization for making wider changes in rural communities to create regional hub in Uttar Pradesh. SATHI-UP brings small CSOs together and capacitates them on emerging development issues and Organizational Development-OD. We have set-up a better structure for mainstreaming the role of civil society organization in development process and facilitating organizational development process through training, workshop, hand hold support and cross learning sharing.
To achieve the core concept of program we have initiated to provide the training input to member CSOs on Organizational governance, Human Resource Policies, Organization visioning & perspective planning, Finance Management & policies, Management Information Systems, process of Resources mobilization & fund raising and reporting & documentation. We also provide the input of hand holding support to our CSOs members for establishing the effective, transparent and accountable group of CSOs.
