How We Work
Our approach focuses on building systems that are locally owned, institutionally anchored, and designed to last.
COMMUNITY-LED
​We design and deliver interventions with communities, ensuring solutions respond to local needs and build long-term ownership.
SYSTEMS-FOCUSED
Our work strengthens underlying systems by aligning policy, infrastructure, financing, and behaviour change rather than addressing symptoms alone.
CO-CREATION
We work closely with local governments, institutions, and funding partners to co-create solutions that are implementable and scalable.
BUILT TO LAST
We prioritise interventions that can be sustained locally and expanded through existing institutional and financial mechanisms.
Where We Work
PLAN works across urban and peri-urban contexts in India, partnering with local governments, community groups, and informal worker collectives to deliver place-based environmental solutions.
