People’s Action for National Integration

People's Action for National Integration (PANI) is a leading development organization in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Over the past three decades, PANI has implemented robust programs in child development, health and nutrition, sustainable livelihoods, gender, and governance. This award enables PANI to enhance climate resilience in rural Uttar Pradesh by strengthening local institutions and empowering marginalized communities through improved access to government schemes and community-led climate solutions. PANI achieves this by setting up a Climate Knowledge Center in rural Uttar Pradesh as a hub for knowledge, training, and coordination, enhancing the capacity of local organizations and government institutions to implement effective climate resilience strategies.
