Imago Global Grassroots

Imago works with grassroots organizations, social enterprises, nonprofits, governments, and foundations to build capacity and scale their impact in a way that respects their core identity, values, and context. We seek to change development thinking and practices around poverty alleviation, and are driven to help build a world in which the innovations and solutions developed at the grassroots can reach global scale. Imago works in 3 ways: 1. Co-creating a strategy to decide on priority areas of focus, while training organizations to develop their in-house capacity. 2. Building the research capacity in organizations to conduct their own research, diagnosis and M&E. 3. Assembling multi-disciplinary teams to address specific challenges that organizations face when scaling up.
