Our Approach: Adaptive Learning and Participatory Planning

DRRA employ Adaptive Learning and PPMEL (Participatory Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation) approach in working. This support to create programs and initiatives that are evidence-based and rooted in the voices of the people we serve. We ensure that what we do reflects the realities of the people who are most marginalization by involving beneficiaries, families and communities and other stakeholders at every stage of the process, from data collection, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

Our Research: Understanding Challenges and Driving Change

DRRA’s foundations lie in research. We research the social, economic, and environmental challenges of underprivileged and marginalized groups such as women, child, Persons with Disabilities, and the people vulnerable to climate change. Our developed participatory research highlights service gaps, access barriers, and systemic barriers to inclusion.

We use these findings to drive advocacy to ensure policies and practices at a local and national level promote equality and inclusion. For instance, when we identify the underlying drivers of exclusion, we design solutions that truly move the needle for overlooked and underserved people.
