The ViSV Shakti concept has been developed with catalytic support from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) through the Coalition for Food Systems Transformation in India (CoFTI) under the Global Programme for Food Systems Transformation (GV-TES) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.

The initiative is currently being incubated by the ViSV Foundation, with the vision of building a scalable global leadership network for women in food and climate systems.
