Curriculum Vitae – PARIMAL M. SADAPHAL
Description of the organization
PARTNERS is a Canada based NGO that works on capacity building and development issues in a
number of countries such as India, Guyana, El Salvador, Vietnam, etc. In India, they
implemented the Canada – India Rural Energy Project (CIREP) that involved setting up of a
network of more than 50 NGOs and building their capacity to implement renewable energy
programmes in the country. The overall aim of this project is to reduce emissions by promoting
renewable energy technologies in rural areas of India.
Job Description & responsibilities
Heading the Project Office in India and overseeing the implementation of the CIREP. The
responsibilities include, programme implementation, project management & administration,
finance, documentation and reporting, etc.
Achievements
A National Network of more than 50 NGOs spread over 14 states of the country has been set
up and is functioning. The original project plan was changed and certain new integrated
capacity building activities were designed. The revised action plan, when implemented, was
found to be extremely effective and enlisted a tremendous response from the network
members. The NGO network, known as the Indian Rural Energy Network (IRENet), is now
recognized by the Government of India and various other donor agencies such as Swiss
Development Cooperation, Karl Kubel Foundation, Dorabji Tata Trust, etc. One of the
innovative projects implemented by the network has been judged as runner up for the
prestigious Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy from UK. There was another component of
CIREP that dealt with education. It involved developing curriculum for school children that
makes them aware of renewable energy technologies and associated issues.
