SRMGI is now the Degrees Initiative, an independent NGO
Andy Parker
After a decade as a project housed at other NGOs, the SRM Governance Initiative (SRMGI) has registered as an independent UK-based charity and has rebranded as the Degrees Initiative. Degrees stands for “Developing country Governance, REsearch, and Evaluation of SRM”.
SRMGI has led the world in building developing countries’ capacity to evaluate SRM. Our programme of workshops in the Global South brought the SRM discussion to new regions and our DECIMALS Fund is the first SRM research fund aimed exclusively at developing countries.
The Degrees Initiative will continue this work. Our mission, vision and values remain the same and the DECIMALS Fund will continue to operate through a partnership with TWAS. Degrees will be governed by an experienced board of trustees who will be responsible for the initiative’s oversight and good governance: Mark Hilton, Saleemul Huq, Jackie Kado, Oliver Morton and John Shepherd.
We owe a debt of gratitude to TWAS and Environmental Defense Fund, who hosted and nurtured SRMGI over its first decade and who have supported the Degrees Initiative through the challenging transition from project to standalone NGO.
