Sometime last year, we stumbled upon the Input-Output-Outcome framework for tracking progress. I cannot trace it back to one individual or post, but it was a result of conversations with our friends, supporters, mentors, and people of the C4E Village. With any project / idea / initiative, there are three key indicators – Input – the time, energy,...
On May 4, 2024, we hosted the second C4E Spotlight Session (CSS), a women-only open mic, presented by Decoding Draupadi! If this is your first time here, I'll start with what CSS is.
