Field Evidence & Selected Assignments

Evidence of Impact.

Field stories from the SBIF-LEAP project in Champawat, alongside a broader portfolio of documented research, baseline, evaluation, impact-assessment, programme-design and audit assignments. Together, they show how Tridifa approaches evidence generation, programme learning and decision support across development contexts.

Rajendra Goswami's climate-resilient polyhouse in Kanda Village, Champawat
Featured Case

Rajendra Goswami

Kanda Village, Champawat

In early 2020, Rajendra lost his private-sector job in New Delhi due to the COVID-19 lockdown, forcing a return to unpredictable open-field farming. Through the SBIF-LEAP project, he was supported with a 600 sq. ft. bamboo-based polyhouse, drip irrigation, and market linkages. Today, he has eliminated middlemen through direct sales and transitioned from a distressed migrant worker to a self-employed agri-entrepreneur.

I no longer depend on cities for work. My field is now my workplace. My polyhouse is my future.

Securing the Herd

Bhawaan SinghKanda Village

Impact Metric

Herd grew from 5 to 13+

Struggling with high kid mortality due to harsh weather and predators, Bhawaan transitioned from unstructured rearing to scientific management. The construction of a well-ventilated goat shed and the introduction of an improved breeding buck stabilised his income, allowing him to sell 9–10 goats annually.

Now I know my goats are safe. I can plan ahead. Other farmers come to me for advice—that feels good.

Selected Assignment Portfolio

Research, evaluation and advisory work beyond the field stories

The case studies above document specific field stories and programme outcomes. Tridifa's broader institutional portfolio also includes baseline and need assessments, programme evaluations, impact assessments, policy and research studies, programme design, value-chain analysis and programme or financial audits across multiple Indian geographies.

These assignments are presented separately so that programme outcomes are not confused with Tridifa's role as a research, evaluation, audit or advisory partner. The portfolio demonstrates methodological breadth—from Theory of Change, household surveys and focus-group discussions to OECD-DAC evaluation framing, CAPI-enabled fieldwork, stakeholder consultation, statistical analysis and decision-focused reporting.
