About the REVIVE Alliance
The REVIVE Alliance was started in 2020 with the aim to leverage CSR and philanthropic capital to plug the gap around timely, affordable, and accessible means, through returnable grants, for semi and unskilled workers, entrepreneurs, and micro-enterprises that form the backbone of businesses and the national economy. The provision of grants is complemented by interventions such as job placements, reskilling, and upskilling to find additional income sources and visibility to access further loans.
Innovative and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation is a core feature of the project where we are building research infrastructure to understand the impact of returnable grants and other interventions through robust primary data collection, experimentation, and ongoing monitoring. Alongside this, there is an in-depth third-party evaluator to test the efficacy and fidelity of the program’s impact.
