Participatory Action That Places Communities at the Centre
BITM has developed as a support organisation and a centre for Participatory Learning, Research and Action to promote and strengthen civil-society organisations in Jharkhand.
Strengthening Civil-Society Organisations Through a People-Centric Approach
BITM works to build and strengthen the capacities of civil-society organisations through an approach that places people and communities at the centre of development initiatives.
Partnership and reciprocal sharing of information with target communities are central to BITM's values and its wider institutional approach.
