Practitioner - Climate Restoration & Mgnregs

Since its inception in 2016, Transforming Rural India Foundation (TRIF)
has been deeply focused on an integrated approach to village
development to accelerate mobility across all generations. We believe
in bringing solutions through multi-sector changes through engaging
community-based institutes like Self Help Groups (SHGs), Panchayati
Raj Institutes (PRIs) and Front-Line Workers (FLWs) together to closely
work with the government. TRIF works directly with more than one
million people in 2000 villages across India’s poorest states and
impacts close to over 60 million rural Indians through its formal
engagement with governments at different levels.

Restoring Land and Prosperity for People, Nature, and Climate in
Central India project aims to strengthen the enabling environment for
landscape restoration by reducing policy barriers, and supporting the
design of incentives to develop markets and value chains for
restoration products to spur a self
- sustaining and locally led
restoration economy in the three geographies of Chhattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Transform Rural India Foundation
(TRIF) as a core partner in this project would lead implementation in
the three identified geographies of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and
