SIFPSA Newsletter

In order to share the progress of SIFPSA activities and disseminate information pertaining to innovative interventions, successful models and achievements of the project in various areas, SIFPSA comes out with a Newsletter - "Innovations", on a regular basis. Innovations covers success stories of NGOs and public sector; articles on training, research/ evaluation studies, communication and opinion of an expert. The write-ups in Innovations, duly supported with photographs, data tables and graphics, not only make interesting reading but also possess tremendous shelf value for its readers.

Lead stories in the newsletter are usually based on special events, report on a seminar or workshop, key findings from studies, insight into project strategies and major impacts. Innovative aspects of NGO work are featured under the regular column - "NGO Sector". These published success stories encourage and motivate the project partners and grass roots level workers in other regions to replicate successful models.
