Arghyam seeks to support strategic and sustainable efforts in the water sector that enhance equity in access to water for all citizens. We emphasize sustainability - environmental, financial, social, institutional and technical - as the key desirable outcomes in all projects we support.

 

Working with diverse partners, including NGOs, research institutions and government agencies, we give special attention to people’s participation, capacity building, awareness and education with a potential for scale in our work.

Arghyam’s involvement in the water sector cuts across 4 key themes, namely:

        

          - Groundwater Management

          - Integrated Domestic Water Management (IDWM)
          - Sustainable Sanitation
          - Wastewater Management
 
 
We strive to be scalable in the interventions we participate in. We also look for application of technological innovations for greater impact. The underlying themes that we emphasize are sustainability through people's participation, leveraging appropriate technologies, soft-infrastructure development (i.e. building capacities) of local communities, demand-responsiveness in projects and professional project management for high-outcomes.

 

During the current financial year (2009-10) Arghyam is looking for innovative projects/interventions in any one of the abovementioned theme/focus areas. If you believe that your idea for a project falls in any of our theme areas please download and fill in Concept Note Form and send to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

 

Arghyam has a number of prior commitments in active projects already. Hence, this has reduced our capacity to fund a range of new ideas/concepts. Therefore we will be able to respond positively to a few concepts only.
