Her experience includes working on the Satat Jeevikoparjan Yojana (SJY), graduation-based livelihood models, capacity building of community institutions, coordination with government stakeholders, and engagement with national and international partners. She has also contributed to designing Monitoring & Evaluation frameworks, operational guidelines, and program documentation for inclusive livelihood programs.
With strong exposure to state- and national-level programs, Payal has worked closely with government departments, NGOs, and multilateral stakeholders, including participation in learning exchange platforms and interactions with international organizations. Her professional strengths include program design, stakeholder coordination, field operations, reporting, and policy-aligned implementation.
A conscientious development practitioner, Payal is deeply interested in creating sustainable livelihood pathways, scaling graduation approaches, and strengthening systems for long-term poverty reduction.
