Best Practices Foundation (BPF) was established in 1999 as an action-based research organization to identify, document, innovate and disseminate best practices in development. It has worked to strengthen local governance, enable access to public services, create sustainable livelihoods, encourage environmentally-conscious agricultural processes, and promote gender-sensitive and inclusive practices.
Over the last fifteen years, BPF has developed innovations, produced tool kits to scale up best practices, documented case studies, conducted action research, evaluated programs, influenced policy, and published books and compendiums on best practices for sustainable development. Through its incubation center in Dharwad, Karnataka, BPF has broken new ground in community development, livelihood, governance, natural resource management, and gender equity. BPF employs participatory approaches to co-create innovations that are pro-poor, inclusive, and gender sensitive.
Mission
We believe that it is important to capture the vast and diverse knowledge emerging from the development community, facilitate sharing and cross fertilization of knowledge, and create innovations that address the identified gaps. Towards this end, BPF strives to improve the quality of life for poor and marginalized communities through documentation, innovation, implementation and dissemination of best practices.
Vision
The Best Practices Foundation envisions widespread identification and institutionalisation of best practices in the fields of development, particularly in livelihoods, governance and gender equity. To fulfil this mandate, BPF aims to become an agile, knowledge-based innovation agency and a network hub for the institutionalisation of best practices through multi-sector partnerships.
