BMGF & IMAGO have partnered for a project which aims to conduct an evaluation and learn from Project “MOVE Mahila Udyam Vikas, Testing and Scaling Women’s Collective Enterprises with SEWA”, a five-year project supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates’ Foundation (BMGF). The evaluation incorporates a process of adaptive design, that includes an iterative approach in the exploration, design and testing of interventions. This will be undertaken side by side with SEWA’s efforts in the MOVE project to support a subset of their collective Social Enterprises (SEs) with a set of support services akin to a grassroots accelerator. An initial stocktaking of around 140 of SEWA’s SEs confirmed the major challenges these faced. SEWA has selected 5 SEs with which to work intensively through a grassroots accelerator-type approach called an Enterprise Support System(ESS). This adaptive evaluation will support the assessment of a set of interventions for these enterprises.
