The document summarizes NOPE's journey of organizational sustainability through capacity building efforts over 15 years. It describes how partnerships with organizations like FHI 360, JSI, and MSH helped establish NOPE's organizational systems, structures, and financial management. Annual assessments guided demand-driven technical assistance and coaching. Results included an improved governance structure, strengthened financial and M&E systems, expanded programs and partnerships, and successful audits. Challenges included slow startups and resource intensity. Key lessons were that planned mentoring enhances sustainability, strong systems increase credibility, and capacity building improves service quality and access.

This is an easy to understand presentation on how organizations can procure greener products in order to lower the environmental impacts throughout the value chain. This presentation was made by our chairperson Dr. Prasad Modak at the CII GreenCo Forum held in Mumbai on 27th January 2015.
Green logistics, in the context of humanitarian logistics encourages all stakeholders to consider the impact of their actions on the environment. The main objective of Green logistics is to coordinate the activities within a supply chain in such a way that beneficiary needs are met at "least cost" to the environment. It is a principle component of reverse logistics. In the past “cost” has been defined in purely monetary terms, whereas "cost" can now also be understood as the external costs of logistics associated with: climate change, air pollution, dumping waste (including packaging waste), soil degradation, noise, vibration and accidents.

CASRAI introduces a new initiative to support and inform efforts at Industry Canada and the funding agencies to achieve a tangible reduction in the adverse impacts of research administration burden in the Canadian research ecosystem. The end goal is to allow researchers to spend more time on research. This collaborative project will focus on the various issues that contribute to undue administrative burden in the various research management processes shared between the research-performing and the research-funding sectors in Canada. The participating organizations will partner with Industry Canada and with the federal agencies in initiatives to reduce undue burden in related federal programs and identify institutional processes that could be streamlined.

not pushed by JSI: CB tools were shared long before the process began and any fears allayedThe OCA and TCA were interactive, well-moderated and stakeholdersThe process allowed for frankness and NOPE took a low score in some capacity areas as an opportunity for strengthening rather than exposure of internal weaknesses The CB process was consistent and challenges were addressed as they arose through mentorship and interaction between NOPE and the TA experts
