  Partners    
   
  S3IDF is a partner-driven organization and works in close collaboration with all stakeholders of the projects. The project partners include local communities/end-beneficiaries, technology suppliers, financial institutions (FI), grassroot NGOs, research groups and other organizations. These partners participate in all the stages of the project cycle, such as project identification, pre-investment, implementation, operations and monitoring and evaluation, with their own specific roles.

  Technology Providers: Technology/know-how suppliers/manufacturers: participate in sharing pre-investment costs, project identification, training/servicing and in instances provide as financial intermediary role
(e.g. leasing) besides supplying equipment.

Multilateral/bi-lateral/ international development agencies and Government bodies:
for dissemination of lessons by S3IDF which can increase the attention needed and help “push” S3IDF approaches. Sometimes, they also provide grant-funding to cover some pre-investment costs of project cycle.

Local Financial Institutions:
Local banks/financial institutions co-finance our project investments and sometime also assist in project identification. The co-financing takes place on a deal-by-deal basis as the banks/financial institutions must assess the investments S3IDF fosters. . The obvious benefit to the banks is increased business revenue while S3IDF achieves leverage of its support to the small-investments that it fosters.

  Individuals, Local communities, Self-Help Groups and Others: The individuals/ local communities / SHGs participate in the projects as owners/operators and contribute either in cash or in terms of ‘sweat equity.’

Currently, S3IDF’s partners include 39 banks that have financed various transactions (includes branches of 12 different banks), 29 technology suppliers, and 13 NGOs in 31 districts of South India. Another recent approach in S3IDF partnerhsip has been creation and fostering of local Supply Chain Players to provide infrastructure services in the rural areas, who in turn incubate and manage a network of local enterpreneurs, thus exponentially increasing the outreach and impact of S3IDF interventions.
