Validation Process

We have developed the methodologies and tools used for carrying out the exercise of validation by undertaking extensive research and consultations with various NGOs and stakeholders. The validation process involves a close assessment of NGO's organizational & programmatic practices (including basic legal, regulatory & fiscal compliances) through both desk review and site visits. The key area/parameters of assessment for CAF India Validation are enumerated below:

Basic Profile Legal Status Governance Human Resource Management Programme Management
Service Delivery Financial Management Networking & Partnerships Administration Profile & Image in virtual Media

Desk Review

Request for validation is received from the NGOs, the following documents/information are sought from them along with the requisite fee of validation within a specified time frame:-

  • Due diligence form- details on the above-mentioned parameters.
  • Referral Check from donors- Reference check on the programmes and functioning of the NGOs from the donors who have supported the NGOs.

A desk review of the documents/information sent by the NGOs is done. Any missing information/document and clarifications on the documents/information is asked for.

Site Visit

As part of the validation exercise, our representative/assessor visits the NGO site (head office and 1-2 project sites) programmes. During this visit, the assessor meets the following to have their perspective which helps to have a thorough understanding on organisational & programmatic competencies of NGOs:-

    • CEO/Chief Functionary
    • Board Members/Trustees (whosoever is available on date of visit)
    • Key staff Members (managing projects)
    • Finance personnel
    • On field:
      • Field Staff
      • Stakeholders
      • Project beneficiaries

Besides this, the organization would also have to bear the site visit cost stay & food etc. for a visiting our representative or external assessor

Time

The average time to validate an NGO is 2-3 weeks (-/+1 week depending upon the assignment in hand, location and the response of the NGO on the initial e-mail requesting them to send the documents/information w.r.t validation).

After Validation

After validation, a letter with certificate of validation will be issued to the NGO which will remain valid for the 1 year as per donors/NGOs requirement.

How to Apply for NGO validation?

1.It is expected that the organisation is registered as a Society / Trust / Company under Section 25 (not-for-profit company), be functional for the last (at least) three years and has basic legal, regulatory and financial compliance in place.  

2.CAF India reserves the right to modify the processes & fee related to NGO Validation.

3.The CAF India validated status will be terminated if the organisation is found to be not complying with CAF India due diligence norms and standards.
