NORTHEAST ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR EMPOWERMENT
EVENTS
The Northeast EDIT
In November 2024, the Northeast Organizational Development for Empowerment (NoDe) team envisioned mapping out Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working across Northeast India. A team of experts from development sectors aligning with the same thought came on board and journeyed to field areas of development organizations. Three months of relentless work by the team has managed to document 62 CSOs out of which some organizations became a part of the repository compendium.
To take this journey forward, NoDe reached out to Axis Bank Foundation (ABF) and North East Together (NET) to organize a workshop that would bring together funders & CSOs who would meet and present the developmental scope in the region by each participating organization.
On the 5th of May 2025, in Mumbai, we will gather in the event to represent the region’s development opportunities with others.
