PT. Pugajinou (International Consultants)

Social development – a good program design requires a strong foundation in collaborative assessment and research of needs and capacities. Our experts are all seasoned researchers who can design interventions that  focus on developing, empowering and strengthening the capacity of communities and CSOs, cooperatives, associations and other organizations in rural and urban settings to ensure the participation and representation of all beneficiaries in their own development.

Active community participation is a fundamental requirement for the sustained success of many development efforts. Recognizing this, our experts assist in forming and strengthening many informal grassroots groups into active actors in the development process from needs and design to monitoring and evaluation. Although the majority of our experts' experience focuses on increasing the participation of the poor, women, and children in civil society organizations, they have particularly relevant experience in bringing diverse, often conflicting, stakeholders to the table in key sectors such as agriculture, governance, post-disaster and post-conflict rehabilitation, community health, and environmental management.
