South Asia Partnership-Pakistan (SAP-PK)
Why South Asia?
A legacy of colonial past, South Asia is one of the most militarized regions with numerous ethnic conflicts, raging with in and across the borders states. It is the most underdeveloped region in the era of globalization. So, it becomes imperative to develop a regional approach for sorting out a harmonized solution and to establish contacts between and among the region’s civil society. With this understanding the peace promoters, Intellectuals and few social activists from South Asian countries, in early 80s gradually developed a regional network “South Asia Partnership (SAP)” operating in five countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. SAP system supports the agenda of socio-political and economic reforms to promote democratic norms and values. Improving viability of local development institutions and creating a South Asian vision is the ultimate goal of the system. South Asia Partnership-Pakistan (SAP-PK) SAP-PK started working in 1987 with the commitment to empower the silent majority of Pakistan. An accord of politically dedicated and enlightened staff, local partners, board members & regional and global networks, inculcates a wide range of opinions and suggestions that helped in carving out the role and direction of SAP-PK. Organization is empowering the silent majority of society to create democratic and political spaces. Capacity building, human rights education, awareness raising and access to information on policy aspects are the salient features of SAP-PK. Moreover it also supports and creates financial linkages of community based groups and organizations for improving the economic instability. SAP-PK is an active member of various global forums that are focusing on promoting regional and global alliances of citizens and their organizations, to help advance regional and national agendas of common initiatives to strengthen the capacity of civil society. Way Ahead: Organization is adopting the following principles: Support informed & active participation of citizens, especially peasants and rural workers (both men and women) in governance structures that benefit in negotiations for their rights & policies Increase sensitivity, harmony and mainstreaming of women in national economy, politics and legislative reforms in regard to discriminatory laws Promotion of peace movements and better implementation of existing or new laws by creating links between civil society and state institutions Community Protection Networks (CPNs) to safeguard vital interests of the poor and the marginalized in the absence of government safety nets Regional programs towards socio-political & economic cooperation to ensure effective working of SAARC.
