Date of start of operations: July 2003 --- Works in the province of Sindh
The Sindh Rural Support Organization is the newest RSP that has been established. It was incorporated as a not-for-profit joint stock company under Section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984 at the behest of the Government of Sindh. SRSO is an apex organization at the provincial level for poverty alleviation and participatory development. SRSO has launched its operations initially in five districts namely, Sukhur, Khairpur, Jacobabad, Ghotki and Shikarpur. Its objective is to foster a framework of broad based grass roots institutions in the form of viable Community Organizations (COs) so that these COs are able to undertake various development activities for improving their quality of life. Communities would become involved with need assessment, prioritization of micro projects and creation of community based action plans. SRSO would operate on the basis of a decentralized union council based social mobilization model. The essence of this model is that social mobilization and credit operations are carried out separately.
