We Believe: Our world today is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA World), making status quo management an outdated and unproductive. Thus, developing all rounded ability to respond to changes and building organizational dexterity for quick adaptation, while taking advantage of prevailing circumstance is so critical for success. Agility enables organizations to stay relevant; and this requires effective strategy and leadership excellence. We truly believe that the quality and timeliness of organizational strategy and leadership excellence are the major determinants of transformational success, which is more likely to happen if it is led from within, than depending on outside expertise.

We Do: We work with our customers and design strategy to build a critical mass of diverse leaders from within to bring about long term impact. We help organizations and their leaders to have the know-how, tools and systems that enable them to be vigilant, agile and strategic to manage and adapt to change. We facilitate strategic and scenario planning that helps in early identification, mapping and managing risks, while building on opportunities.

We Believe: Inclusive program development that covers multi-sector, and truly engages and capitalizes on diversity in people, ideas, talents, and priorities is a critical path for integrated problem solving. The days of the transactional approach - one idea, one theme, one sector, one family at a time should be over. It has not produced the much-needed reliable and scalable solutions, as expected. That is why inclusive programs are no more a choice, but a must do to truly impact poverty. A well-designed inclusive program provides not only the foundation for achieving anticipated results, but also facilitates local ownership and sustainability.

We Do: We help to identify, develop and manage all-inclusive development programs and projects which are based on the approach of multi-sector and multi-stakeholders’ engagement to solve multi-dimensional problems. We provide management support that facilitates full engagement and alignment of organizational resources, with its vision, mission and program theory of change to ensure achievement of the set goals. We provide expertise support in diverse thematics, including agricultural value chains and agri-businesses, natural resource management, climate change, food security and nutrition, gender, access to finance, market systems and business development, among others.

We Believe: Organizational capacity determines its propensity to grow, adapt, and build excellence for lasting impact. Capacity, in the form of human, financial and institutional, needs to be in place for an organization to succeed and thrive. Human capital is the driving force behind all other capacities for a growing organization and thus deserves investment attention. Capacity to proactively identify problems, design sustainable solutions by engaging others, and managing risks across the organization as well as its service delivery channels is essential. A strong human capital could be the basis for a strong social capital and vice-versa, thus facilitating an efficient service delivery systems. This is particularly true in the developing world, where the social fabric is strong and is an essential element of societal development.

We Do: We work with organizations to conduct a comprehensive, quick and in-depth capacity assessment and analysis, identify gaps and design all rounded capacity strengthening programs to address human, financial and institutional capacity. We work with our customers to creatively develop short and long-term inclusive plans that put them ahead of the curve on the road to success. TAPIN provides a variety of training and mentoring support services that are harmonized with industry standard materials and the objective realities of our customers.

We Believe: Market fails not only by excluding the economically poor and marginalized people and communities, but also by becoming the largest supporting structure to perpetuate poverty and inequality. In today’s world, inclusive market systems are the way, if not the only way, to engage the poor and the disadvantaged in the markets and create economic and livelihood opportunities for them. Small business Enterprises (SMEs) are one of the most reliable tools of engaging the poor in the markets. They also provide a pathway to escape from poverty and achieve economic development, in a relatively reasonable timeframe. SMEs play a significant role in the economies of both the global North and global South leading to sustainable development, particularly in the developing countries.

We Do: We conduct market analysis and identify causes of market failure to help organizations to make systemic changes rather than symptom treatment. We facilitate the engagement of market actors - donors, government, private sector and the poor women and men to bring about mutually beneficial market solutions. TAPIN provides technical support in business planning, marketing and communication. We conduct value chain analysis and develop value chain projects; help develop SMEs. In particular, we pay attention to businesses that support women and youth, facilitate circular economy, and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with clear entry and exit points of markets.

We Believe: Gender inequality remains a gigantic topic for sustainable development. Gender roles and share of opportunities are still burning issues for gender inequality across cultures and geographies of the world. In this century, women are still underrepresented in all spheres of life, including economic, political, social and environmental. We also believe that gender inequality remains to be the cause and effect of poverty and economic disparity and that its elimination requires a deliberate plan and actions by each and every development agency. We recognize that empowering females bridges the gender gap and becomes a stepping stone to gender equality.

We Do: TAPIN works with organizations to help address gender inequalities in their workplace and across chains of their service delivery. Our support includes broadening the understanding of the gender questions – role and opportunity; gender and power dynamics as policy and programming tool; undertaking gender assessment, analysis and programming; as well as providing actionable policy and program recommendations that enable to redress existing gaps as well as mainstream gender.

We Believe: Sustainability is a function of today’s investment and care; and that investment in the young generation pays off and ensures intergenerational impact. We believe in youth’s full engagement in the life of their society, rather than being sidelined.

We Do: We facilitate the engagement of youth to have voices in the decision-making process of their own development and that of their community. We work with organizations and the youth simultaneously to identify compatible businesses that offer economic opportunities; train and mentor youth in business development, management and market engagement. We help create learning platforms and employ approaches that stimulate and reward creativity and innovation. We build youth leadership skills and strengthen their intergenerational role. We do this with three purposes: (a) to create livelihood and economic opportunities for the youth; (b) to tap on their potential energy, innovation and creativity for faster and more sustainable development; and (c) to redirect the energy and attention of youth from unproductive activities to productive and gainful opportunities.

We Believe: Equitable and sustainable development cannot be achieved in isolation, hence partnerships across sectors, geographies and agencies are no more a choice, but a must do task. Leveraging talent, voice, money and other development resources at local, national and international levels is essential to register meaningful and sustainable impact.

We Do: We help organizations in identifying, cultivating and maintaining partnerships among themselves aiming at leveraging resources, skills and values for scalable impact. We also help our customers in designing and implementing effective resource mobilization strategy by aligning program priorities with resource needs, donors’ interests and priorities. We facilitate donor engagement and co-creation and help to capture and respond to funding opportunities.

We Believe: A solid monitoring and evaluation system facilitates not only measuring results, but also learning and adapting to stay relevant. A balanced approach to evaluation and learning is critical for a growing organization. Plausible theory of change, clear milestones, and key performance indicators lay the foundation for accountability.

We Do: We design a flexible and dependable systems that ensure accountability, learning and adapting to changes, thus leading to high performance. We employ an end-to-end (E2E) project management system to ensure quality and needed results. We create a user-friendly platforms that facilitate reviews and shared learning for small and large projects and programs.

We Believe: Both Tacit and explicit knowledge are equally valid for a learning and adapting organization. Knowledge that is NOT captured, processed, packaged and shared is not only a wasted opportunity for sound decision making, but also costly to an organization.

We Do: We help companies to manage knowledge by creating efficient systems that help to generate, capture, process, package, and share knowledge in three steps. (a) Capturing knowledge, both through creating an internal system of generating data and information (explicit knowledge); and capturing talents and creative thinking of staff and partners (tacit knowledge); or through building a cross-learning systems with others; (b) processing, packaging and storing knowledge – making captured knowledge relevant, adaptable, accessible and user friendly to facilitate learning and management and (c) Sharing – identifying sharing platforms and share timely and effectively.
