CSR Strategy & Program Development

CSR Strategy and Program Development involves designing a coherent, needs-based, and impactful CSR programme that aligns the organisation's CSR mandate with community priorities, Schedule VII activities, and the organisation's own values and business context — going beyond simple cheque- writing to create programmes that deliver measurable social outcomes. Developing a CSR strategy begins with a community needs assessment and stakeholder consultation — understanding what communities actually need rather than what organisations assume they need.

It involves selecting focus areas from Schedule VII that align with both community priorities and organisational capabilities, designing programme interventions with clear objectives and measurable outcomes, and establishing the governance and implementation structures needed to deliver the programme effectively. EGSS develops CSR strategies and programme designs that are grounded in field research, aligned with regulatory requirements, and structured for measurable impact — providing organisations with a CSR programme that they can implement with confidence and report with credibility.
