As a small business, Panagora offers the best of all worlds—the efficacy, discipline and results orientation of the private sector, and proven ability to manage complex and fast-moving programs, with the special enthusiasm, agility, and creativity of a small business. True to our name, Panagora is an “inclusive space where ideas bubble and the best thrive and spread.”
Panagora Group believes that focusing on novel and integrated approaches to health and development will yield the best long-term results. To that end, we place special focus on integrating learning and adaptation into how social and economic development interventions are designed – to respond to changing circumstances, and learn from experience.

Panagora is very responsive, able to rapidly assemble a top-notch team, field them quickly and compliantly, flexibly modify as required, manage the process, and ensure a timely, high-quality, and cost-effective deliverable.
As a subcontractor under TASC2 and 3, I worked closely with Betsy Bassan for 10 years. She consistently demonstrated a unique blend of fairness, sound technical judgement, management savvy, and openness. She is unusually effective in creating a consortium team and tapping into the strengths of its members. She also has an unrelenting focus on implementation including managing the transition from proposals to implementation with great skill.
Panagora is a very flexible and highly responsive contractor, trusted by USAID and Implementing Partners alike, and an example of the kind of partner that USAID seeks in a support services contractor.
“Our organization turned to Panagora to undertake an important study. We found Panagora staff technically compelling and really savvy. We received a clear, high quality product that surpasses our needs, within cost, on time. We loved their positive attitude and participatory style, keeping us informed every step of the way. They so flat-out exceeded our expectations that we engaged them again as on-going advisers.”
The USAID/South Africa Mission is now expanding TSS, which supports the mission’s Health Office to problem-solve technical priorities and develop creative, innovative solutions related to such issues as strategically allocating resources, strengthening connections with partners, and replicating best practices and efficient models. An exciting part of the work is that we support the Mission’s Office of Health to maximize results under their Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) health development objective, furthering USAID’s Journey to Self Reliance (J2SR) goals.

For many, founding a business would be the culmination of a lifelong journey—the highest peak on the highest mountain of entrepreneurship. For Bassan, though, it’s something different: the next step in a life devoted towards bringing the private, public, and nonprofit sectors together to help those in need.
