Over a span of thirty years, Pradan has developed a set of tactics for how it engages with villages. By going through them, we can understand the elements of good mentorship. I use Pradan as an example because I happen to know it well, and because it is remarkably good at what it does. But there are many other organizations, often unsung and underfunded, whose primary model is mentorship, whether they call it that or not. Shining a light on the components of good mentorship will make organizations engaged in it more visible and help other organizations become more effective.
