Innovision Consulting, in partnership with GFA Consulting Group GmbH, is designing and implementing the baseline study for the Nagorikata: Civic Engagement Fund (CEF), which covers 50 national CSOs working on human rights, women's empowerment, democratic governance, and the rule of law. The baseline is being rolled out in phases. Cohort 1 has already been completed, and Cohort 2, comprising CfP V & VI grantees, is now entering the baseline co-design process.
As part of this process, Innovision Consulting and GFA Consulting Group GmbH organised a co-design workshop with CfP V & VI grantees at Lakeshore Heights, Gulshan-1, Dhaka. The session brought together 24 participants, including 15 representatives from six grantees: Centre for Disability in Development, Breaking the Silence, Centre for Peace and Justice, JAAGO Foundation, Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center, and Rupantar, alongside five team members from Innovision and four from GFA Consulting.
Participants mapped baseline indicators against each grantee's project context, defined target groups and sampling frameworks for the quantitative community survey, and identified stakeholders for the qualitative study component.
By the close of the session, all six grantees had agreed on data collection methods, defined sample frameworks for both the community survey and OCA, and contributed project-specific definitions of Nagorikata's baseline indicators, establishing a strong methodological foundation for the consolidated baseline study.
This initiative is part of the Nagorikata: Civic Engagement Fund (CEF) Programme, implemented with technical support from GFA Consulting Group, and funded by Switzerland, Canada, and the European Union.
