- Mission
- Promoting Sustainable Development through Innovative Development Interventions
SSD is a Non-profit and Non-Governmental Organization, founded in 1999 and is registered with the NWFP Ministry of Commerce & Industry under Society’s Registration Act, 1860.
SSD has been found to address issues of sustainable development through innovation, appropriate technology promotion and capacity building. SSD’s philosophy is not to duplicate the mandate of existing NGOs, rather carve a niche of its own to distinctly contribute to the sustainable development in general and NRM and water and environment sector in particular. Thus, SSD calls itself a knowledge based NGO, predominantly interested in promotion of Best Management Practices and appropriate technology in the sector.
SSD seeks to achieve its development vision through promoting and practicing an integrated approach to sustainable development encompassing principles of: * Participatory and human rights based approach to development,
* Strengthening grass roots level organization to ensure local level services delivery following principles of subsidiary
* Behavioral change Communication to identify and target vulnerable practices for a sustained development
* Introduction and promotion of appropriate technologies to crystallize change in largely dormant societies
* Productively engage children as change agents through active learning methods/life skills based education/child to child communication for realization of behavioral changes for sustained development
* Develop models of participatory civil and environmental planning, design, management and implementation;
* Capacity-building of municipalities, local government institutions and NGOs in specialized areas relating to environmental planning and design;
* Design and implementation of environmental impact assessments and participatory benefit monitoring systems. - Service
