About us

At Lodrat our interventions are unique in that they are all evidence-based interventions informed by research conducted within local communities.

Furthermore, our approaches include interfacing duty bearers and rights holders for purpose of dialogue and conversations on how to improve service delivery and social accountability on the part of duty bearers. We seek institutional change through training duty bearers on international best practice and we produce policy briefs and position papers targeting duty bearers. We also mobilize and capacitate local communities to bring collective agency in order to hold duty bearers accountable and answerable to right holder. Our approaches leave no one behind.
