Accountability & Governance
We are accountable to the communities we work with, not to governments or donors. This page documents our governance, funding, and commitments to openness.
Sutra does not accept funding from political parties or their affiliates. Our research is not available for purchase. We disclose all our major funders publicly.
We establish formal feedback mechanisms with the communities we work with. Community voices shape our research agenda, not donor preferences.
All our publications are free to access and download. We do not paywall policy research intended for public benefit.
Sutra will publish annual reports covering our programmes, reach, financial summary, and learning from each year. Our first annual report will be published after we complete our first full year of operations.
Publishing in January 2026, covering April 2025 – March 2026
During our founding phase (2025), Sutra is governed by its founding team. We are constituting a Governing Board with independent directors — including persons with disabilities and community representatives — which will be published here once formalised.
Until the Governing Board is constituted, the founding team is collectively responsible for all financial, programmatic, and strategic decisions at Sutra.
The Governing Board will include at least 50% members from persons with disabilities or community backgrounds, independent of Sutra's founding team.
