Rural Support Programmes Network

The RSP Network (RSPN) was registered in 2001 under Pakistan’s Companies Ordinance (1984) as a non-profit company by the Rural Support Programmes (RSPs) of Pakistan. RSPN is a network of ten RSPs. The RSPs involve poor communities (mainly but not exclusively rural) in improved management and delivery of basic services through a process of social mobilization. RSPN is a strategic platform for the RSPs, providing them with capacity building support and assisting them in policy advocacy and donor linkages. Currently the RSPs have a presence in 93 of the country’s 140 districts and 2 Fata Agencies, stretching from the mountainous north to the central plains and down to the southern coastline. The RSPs collectively worked with a rural membership of community organizations of 1.7 million rural households. Click here to see Programme Data on the RSPs
