Background / objective

The Corporate social responsibility (CSR) foundation aimed to enhance the credibility, impact and sustainability of its initiatives by monitoring real-time performance against predefined indicators and implementing robust evaluation frameworks and tailored strategies.

The objective was to ensure alignment with organisational goals, improve accountability, and maximise social, economic and environmental returns from the project. Additionally, building trust, making data-driven decisions and creating a long-term community impact needed attention. 

Solutions

CRISIL developed tailored frameworks based on the project’s objectives, target population and intended outcomes. These frameworks defined clear indicators, baselines and benchmarks for assessing the progress and impact. 

We provided extensive services, including capacity building for implementing and monitoring evaluation (M&E) systems, creating customised dashboards for data visualisation, and providing actionable insights for decision-making.

We delivered detailed reports and strategic recommendations, thereby ensuring the organisation enhanced accountability, optimised resources, and achieved sustainable and impactful outcomes. 

Additional services included stakeholder engagement and framework designing, thus ensuring customised solutions to meet the unique client requirements and foster scalable and impactful interventions.
