Head of Communications @ WOTR
WOTR is now oriented and equipped to specifically address the challenges (and opportunities) posed by climate change to vulnerable communities. In the process, WOTR has introduced a bottom-up, holistic and integrated approach towards Adaptation and Resilience Building.
Constantly learning from experience, WOTR has been revisiting conventional development. Systems Thinking and Complexity Analysis have been incorporated in program design leading to formulation of new tools and frameworkswhile adapting the existing ones. This helps us shift to a Framework-Based Management, in contrast to activity focussed project.
At WOTR, Applied Research is a constant companion. Our team, guided by experts, help local communities become researchers - observing, measuring, and assessing for themselves problems as also improvements that a project brings about. Having tested methodologies, WOTR disseminates the learning through Capacity Building Eventsto implementers and donors, far and wide, so as to benefit rural communities across India and to countries in the South.
WOTR has carried out developmental work in over 2,500 villages in six states. Its program on Climate Change Adaptation project is currently being implemented in over 70 villages in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.
