The 2024–25 Annual Report captures DRF at a point when its two-part strategy begins to take concrete form. One path strengthens existing systems while the other tests ideas that can work beyond their constraints through community platforms and technology. Across the report, that approach appears in unexpected combinations: women returning to work through GROW Women, persons with disabilities building small businesses, rural households earning from oyster mushrooms, PHCs adding diagnostic capacity, and farmers linking income with water conservation and carbon reduction. Green-job training, Skillfy and early plans for mangrove restoration and an in-house soil-testing facility show the portfolio responding to economic and environmental change at once. The report is not simply about adding programmes. It is about identifying practical levers within education, livelihoods, healthcare and climate action, then learning how they can travel further. Read it to see a strategic framework becoming visible in everyday programme decisions, partnerships and measurable outcomes.
