Our Approach

Empower follows its unique 7-D approach for developing the learning content. This begins right from the Data collection, Diagnosing the challenge, Designing the learning approach, Development of the solution, the Delivery of the product through Existing institutions, Documenting the learning, and Dissemination of the findings which is done through publishing and advocacy. 

At every stage, Empower leverages its well-balanced blend of subject matter experts (SMEs), and digital learning and technology experts. 

The complete design and marketing of the product is strategically approved by the experts of the domain and this approach is equipped with the latest technology and is driven by data to ensure the feasibility of the solution. 

• Data collection: We understand the importance of data collection & use assessments – (both pre & post) as part of our approach. Through collaborative means with our partners & in-house team of specialists, Empower collects data for the relevant issue at hand, to make the problem statement more quantitative. This supports in making our project approach output based.
• Diagnosis: We begin by understanding the organiszation’s vision, knowledge gaps, and priority areas for capacity building of their staff. We also assess the country’s digital penetration, digital literacy, and access to digital technologies (connectivity and hardware).
• Design the learning approach:having diagnosed the problem, we design the learning approach by using different taxonomies. Our in-house team of pedagogical experts, anthropologists and subject matter experts design learning approaches specific to cadres, ages, etc.
• Develop:with our designed approach, we begin to develop blueprints, technical curricula, smart classrooms, and digital platforms.
• Deliver:It’s now time to pilot test the digital content and the digital platform; we conduct UAT (user acceptability testing), collect feedback, adapt the content and software, and then roll out the learning solution at scale through virtual and face-to-face training.
• Documentation: Having completed all the previous five steps, we collect data and conduct analysis using customised dashboards to evaluate learners’ interests, knowledge, practices, and impact.
• Dissemination:  We perform blended training, advocacy and outreach activities through our grassroots implementation partners, ensuring sustainability and scalability.
