Our Work
We work at the intersection of learning, policy, and community action through four core centers.
WFD-Academy for Development and Leadership
The WfD Academy delivers immersive field and virtual programs that help students, professionals, and practitioners engage deeply with India’s social and ecological realities. Our flagship initiative, Sangam Study Abroad, partners with global universities to offer semester, short-term, and custom academic programs in sustainability, innovation, and global citizenship.
Centre for Organisational and Institutional Development
This Centre helps civil society organizations, local governments, and community-based groups build their institutional capacity through training, technical assistance, and mentorship in areas such as public governance, participatory development, and digital transformation.
Centre for Social Policy and Research
We conduct policy research, analysis, and scenario building to inform more inclusive and evidence-based decision-making. Our work supports governments, multilaterals, and civil society organizations through consultancy, grants, and knowledge partnerships that advance public good.
Centre for Community Action and Resilience
We work alongside marginalized communities to strengthen climate justice, adaptation, and circular innovation. Our programs emphasize grassroots leadership, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable livelihoods.
