Panagora Group

Panagora is deeply committed to nurturing host-country capacity and positioning individuals and institutions to carry work forward independently. We are especially proud of our work with the Capacity Building Services Group (CBSG) under the Bangladesh Smiling Sun Franchise Program (SSFP). Working hand-in-hand, we used participatory organizational development processes to build the capacity of 26 national NGOs, ultimately equipping 12 (triple the target) to host direct USAID awards. CBSG is now a regular provider of capacity building services in USAID activities. Panagora carried out similar work for the Afghanistan Regional Agricultural Development Program-South (RADP-South), and is now launching such activities for Afghanistan Health Sector Resiliency (HSR) and Kenya Afya Jijini. Taking an integrated and multi-sectoral approach to global health. We recognize that integrated health services linked appropriately to other sectors creates synergies and reflects how people seek health information, services, and products. We have brought our extensive track record in integrated and multi-sectoral approaches to health into many activities, e.g., our M&E work on the School Reading and Health Program in Uganda, multifaceted gender and youth strategies, and infusion of business principles and partnerships into health services provision in Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
