Stakeholder's view

  • The QUEST Alliance is a unique platform where the interest and capabilities of NGOs and the private sector converge to design innovative and scalable solutions for education and training for children and youth, leveraging the power of existing and emerging Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).

    William Reese – President & CEO, International Youth Foundation

  • The alliance gives partners a place to park ideas and serendipity happens. Microsoft had never thought of targeting computer skills training to victims of trafficking until the alliance brought our organizations together.

    Nalini Gangadharan, CAP Foundation

  • "The QUEST Alliance is a valuable platform for sharing the ideas and unique strengths of educational partners to meet a larger goal; the partners share their strengths and make it possible to cross collaborate and learn."

    Vikas Goswami, Lead CSR, Microsoft India

  • Quality education is a major business opportunity. The alliance allows us to match corporate interests and resources with educational needs. It is a win-win for youth. QUEST’s advantage is the germination of ideas through the sharing and visioning process

  • "QUEST is the result of USAID's belief in the power of partnerships; the alliance is well suited to take the lead in promoting effective use of technology in education and skills training. The USAID vision is for QUEST to evolve into an independent entity, generating and programming its own funds."

    Dana Fischer, Director, Office of Social Development, USAID India

  • "One of the things that is strikingly different about our partnership with the QUEST Alliance, as compared with our other financial partners, is that Quest does not limit its role to a 'funder', but it participates in the project as an enthusiastic and concerned partner. Its technical inputs on pedagogy and instructional design as well as monitoring and evaluation have been of immense help to our team at Drishti as well as to the Videoshala project. I am positive our partnership will result in very creative and innovative models of using media and communication for technology, empowerment and education."

    Stalin K, Founder & Director, Drishti Media and Arts

  • "As one of the founding members, Azim Premji Foundation has helped create and steer the vision of the QUEST Alliance. Collaborating on the National Instructional Design workshop was an important first-step and provided a much-needed forum for various stakeholders to share knowledge and explore ideas for improving the quality of content development."
