Best Practices Foundation

Best Practices Foundation (BPF) is a Bangalore-based NGO founded in 1999, that strives to improve the quality of life for poor and marginalised communities through participatory approaches to co-create innovations that are pro-poor, inclusive and gender sensitive. BPF envisions widespread identification and institutionalisation of best practices in the fields of development, particularly in livelihoods, governance and gender equity. To fulfil this mandate, BPF aims to become an agile, knowledge-based innovation agency and a network hub for the institutionalisation of best practices through multi-sector partnerships. In the last decade, BPF has developed innovations, produced tool-kits to scale up initiatives, documented case studies, conducted action research, program evaluations, and published policy briefs, books and compendiums on best practices for sustainable development.
