ABOUT US
ABOUT US:

IMAGO Global Grassroots works to help grassroots organizations and social enterprises scale up their development impact through strategic/capability-building support. IMAGO looks to tackle the complex challenges around poverty not via technical solutions constructed top-down but rather via a design-driven, iterative, bottom-up approach that puts the poor at the heart of solution design and implementation. Using a participatory approach, we work with these organizations to define and then implement their scaling-up strategy over the medium term. The process involves understanding the unmet needs through human-centered design, testing their theory of change, and refining their unique value proposition. Together, we assess the organization’s current situation, the system in which it operates, the stakeholders it interacts with, and its overall authorizing environment. We also work on their processes and data systems for prototyping innovations, tracking change, and assessing impact. This provides the organization with the necessary scaling up scaffolding to expand the reach of their solutions while remaining true to their values.
 
IMAGO currently has projects in India, Mexico, Paraguay, and the United States. Learn more about what we do: https://imagogg.org/about-imago/
