While our work these past 2 years has us going deeper into the issues, investing more wholly in the growth and development of small programs fighting huge social problems, we do take the time to also pan back. In doing so, its amazing to see the links, patterns and connections–the networks at play within them and between them. \u00a0Our recent annual visit to India this March had us doing just that and reminded us that nothing truly happens in isolation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In order to fully immerse ourselves this year in the interplay between the programs at hand, we decided to approach the visits differently. \u00a0Instead of going from one to the other separately each day, we gathered key staff from all of them and made the rounds as a group. \u00a0In doing so, we hoped they could discuss and explore potential resources that could be shared as well as common common barriers to their progress.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"img_4033\"The blockers to their success<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While it would have been lighter to share all that is going “right” within their respective organizations, time was precious and discussions quickly had us reviewing the major blockers to running their small NGOs. \u00a0There were clear similarities. \u00a0While there were some variations in the ranking order, all listed the following as their most significant challenges.
\n
\n<\/b>Attracting and retaining qualified staff<\/b>
\nThey are often functioning in crisis modes and the positions require a unique blend of skills in social work and the ability to function in a stressful gear for lengths of time. To top it off, programs like the SMS center are located in relatively dangerous areas of the city.<\/p>\n

Fundraising for Staff<\/b>
\nDonors are typically attracted to everything but operational costs such as salaries– yet the most important part of the services they deliver come from a trained, professional staff.<\/p>\n

India’s shifting bureaucracy<\/b>
\nGovernment agencies such as the Child Welfare Committee can be rigid and difficult to comply with, not to mention their shifting policies. In addition, \u00a0the administration and reporting required to maintain their FCRA status (allowing them the right to accept foreign funding) is becoming more and more cumbersome, putting a drain on already limited time and resources.<\/p>\n

Ideas are generated<\/span><\/h3>\n

Although still in germination stage, ideas are emerging relating to developing shared resources for their needed talent pool. \u00a0They currently use their own varied methods, which vary from putting out ads in the paper to word of mouth. \u00a0An objective could be to develop a more defined and methodical approach for the most probably sources of candidates.<\/p>\n
