Systemic Impact Exemplars:

Unique Approaches Towards Solving India’s Development Challenges

This report is a collaborative effort between The Convergence Foundation and India Impact Sherpas. It was conceptualised to identify and learn from organisations
that have achieved large-scale impact by adopting the systems change approach. It profiles 20 of India’s leading System Support Organisations (SSOs), and aims
to inspire and inform other social purpose organisations by building evidence on what works in the Indian context. The report serves as a comprehensive knowledge resource, intended to shape thinking on systems change. It outlines frameworks for how social purpose organisations can adopt it, and offers models on how SSOs can create disproportionate impact.

What is Systems Change?

A systems change approach is characterised by four building blocks.

Address Root
Causes

Going upstream and tackling
the entire of web of root
causes, rather than solving for
the symptoms.

Population Level
Impact

Interventions are designed with
an intent to solve at a
population scale.

Sustainability

Impact is embedded beyond
period of intervention and
does not regress to the old
norm, through Government or
Market adoption.

Shift in Mindset
and Values

Impact results in a change
in mindsets or values of the
ecosystem.
