Anode Governance Lab is a Bangalore based organisation that works towards strengthening governance and enabling public institutions to function effectively, with the premise that the poor and marginalised rely on these institutions for access to basic human rights, such as livelihoods, education, housing, as well as right to justice and equality. Our belief is that vibrant and learning institutions adapt and negotiate with the external environment to deliver their mandate consistently.
