About: Advocacy Programme
Janaagraha’s model of change also leverages Advocacy as a medium to bring about long-term sustainable change. Janaagraha firmly believes that it is imperative to change policies and legislations in order to bring about lasting changes in urban governance. The Advocacy program involves extensive background research, preparing case studies, facilitating policy discussions and seminars, and advocating the REED reform framework at local, state and national levels.
The most significant advocacy success for Janaagraha has been Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). Janaagraha lobbied for an ambitious urban initiative at the national level, and played a key role in the design of the mission. The largest urban initiative in the country’s history - $25 billion capex program for 63 cities - the mission comes with reform conditions. Many of these reforms are part of Janaagraha‘s REED Framework for Urban Governance. Two of these reforms – Citizen Participation Law and Public Disclosure Law - have been crafted by Janaagraha.
