Major Component of a Successful CSR Project:

Community initiatives are now becoming far more than just project-based activities and communities themselves are now transitioning from being beneficiaries to being stakeholders.

Good impact is reflective of a company’s CSR efforts and cannot be achieved without critical deliberations on such efforts and their designs. A good project design in CSR determines the nature and volume of the impact and is therefore, both necessary and important.  With the growing need for improving and innovating implementation processes, companies are now inculcating effective project designing techniques to amplify their impact. Community initiatives are now becoming far more than just project-based activities and communities themselves are now transitioning from being beneficiaries to being stakeholders. A good project design takes all these factors into account and ensures that the desired outcomes are achieved holistically.

Keeping in mind the following are the essential components to be kept in mind while designing a CSR project for Companies:

  • Participatory planning
  • Issue Focus
  • Direct implementation VS partner implementation
  • Implementing Partners
  • Realistic Targets
  • Project team
  • Resources 
  • Transparency & accountability measures
  • Impact
  • Sustainability

A good project design can incorporate all these factors and can be further improved upon by layering additional factors based on the past project implementation experiences. The designing team therefore needs to give ample time to this process and must make sure that the important elements are not overlooked or left out.
