Organizational Approach:
ACD believes internationally accepted principle that development is not theoretical exercise to
transform a certain amount of money into some other commodity or some more money.
Development is about people and deals with people’s lives. Hence, ACD adopted a right based
approach to achieve, by providing an effective framework for a holistic analysis of development
including its social, cultural, political and economic dimension and effective tools for designing
result-oriented, empowering and sustainable development strategies. Consequently, ACD
through its right based approach integrates human rights of confidential communities in the
development process to effectively target human freedom. In this regard, ACD organizes and
mobilizes the vulnerable confidential communities to make a collective voice. Advocating and
lobbying on issues and concerns of privileged communities are main focus of ACD to achieve at
the set destination. ACD while struggling for survival rights of ignored communities, develop

10. and strengthen relations. While, capacity building workshops, consultative meetings, seminars,
awareness campaigns, media campaigns, organizing rallies and developing linkages with all
stakeholders including local communities, government authorities are basic tools used by ACD
to achieve the objectives.
ACD Major Programs
Social Mobilization (SM):
Social mobilization is an approach and tool that enables people to organize for collective action,
by pooling resources and building unity required to resolve common problems and work
towards community advancement. In this regard, ACD facilitates a process that empowers
women and men to organize their own democratically self-governing groups or community
organizations which enable them to initiate and control their own personal and collective
development. ACD initiates processes through which communities are sensitized for a positive
change and wellbeing. ACD uses social mobilization as tool to motivate marginalized, ignorant
and poor communities to bring them in mainstream.
Social Mobilization is aimed at creating a major thrust to solve problems of national magnitude
by promoting participation of all possible sectors and civil society, mobilization of local
resources, use of indigenous knowledge and enhancement of people’s creativity and
productivity through mass campaign.
Institutional Development: Institutional development is the key initiative to strengthening
any organization. ACD take serious efforts to strengthen the organization by adopting different
tools and approaches. Capacity building of its office-bearers, volunteers and staff are major
intervention by which ACD ensure building capacity of its staff towards betterment of privileged
communities. Besides, ACD becomes attentive towards developing strategies, and policies.
Capacity Building: Enhancing skills and expertise are essential to build a society freed from
unfair power distribution, injustice, inequality, and discrimination. To achieve the destination,
capacity building of every segment of society deems necessary and considering the importance
of capacity building, ACD focus more on developing skills of its staff, Volunteers and community
that will enable them to carry out activities in proper way and this will also make activities more

11. effective and result based. ACD in this regard organizes managerial, organizational and
technical training workshops. These training workshops range from fundamental principles of
organization, leadership skills, community management skills, technical knowledge and disaster
management are major subjects with various sub-topics of training workshops.
Gender Empowerment: Almost all societies of the past have been patriarchal, meaning in
effect that women have had second-class status. Women continued to be treated in many
respects as second class persons during 18th century. Nevertheless, same is practicing yet in
our society. Women in remote areas of Sindh do not have access to basic education, health and
income generating activities. They do not enjoy complete range of basic rights of survival. There
is unequal participation of women and children in normal domestic affairs and there is hugely
unequal access to assets such as livestock, land, health and education. Considering the
importance of the gender, ACD is striving to address the issues of gender inequality in order to
reduce poverty and marginalization of women and children. Together with building assets of
women, the ACD aims to bring changes in attitudes, roles and behavior that are essential for
gender equality to be achieved.
Human Rights: The term ‘human rights’ refers to those rights that have been recognized by
the global community in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United
Nations (UN) Member States in 1948, and in subsequent international legal instruments binding
on states. The Universal Declaration is a landmark document. It recognizes that a world in
which all human beings enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of belief, freedom from want and
freedom from fear is the highest aspiration of all humankind. The global community recognized
that it is equally essential to ensure that economic or social power does not dispossess the less
powerful of their ability to meet their basic needs. In addition, international human rights law
obliges states to take positive steps to ensure the realization of human rights, with a particular
obligation to assist the most disadvantaged or vulnerable sectors of society. However, every
child, woman and man is entitled to enjoy his or her human rights simply by virtue of being
human. It is this universality of human rights. Human rights are premised on the recognition of
the equal worth and dignity of every human being regardless of any individual characteristic
such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin,

12. property, birth or other status. This gives rise to the twin fundamental principles of equality and
non-discrimination. Considering the violation and exploitation of human rights of privileged,
ACD initiated to raise voice against this exploitation and unite privileged communities on one
platform to live a life with dignity, respect and honor.
Monitoring, Evaluation & Research (MER): All development activities need a careful and
watchful eye which implementation process proper and resulted oriented. ACD ensures
participation of communities in monitoring process by holding regular meetings and community
conferences. Beginning from field dairies monitoring network is spread up to periodic review
workshop held on each quarter and Board of Directors’ meeting. In these meetings and
workshops various issues are discussed at length and discussion is incorporated with objectives
and planning. It strengthens the system and staff capacity and capability. ACD’s MER unit plays
an active and essential role in organization in order to achieve the targets and to review overall
performance of the organization. It performance regular monitoring and reporting of all
project, management, organization and imitations of inter as well as external evaluations.
Through these tools, techniques and strategies MER presents a true picture of the state of
organizational affairs. The variations are recorded and analysis of causes is made accordingly.
Lesson learnt are identified for future planning. MER provides continuous feedback on the
impact of ACD’s work on the management as well as other development partners. These all
activities show the importance of sections role. MER is like a transparency and litmus paper for
an organization through which every activity could be seen accurately.
Exit Strategy:
ACD believes in the capacity building of the community organizations it is working with, the
staff implementing the programs and of the volunteers, to be able to tackle the causes of
poverty more effectively, more efficiently and in a sustainable way. The aim of ACD is to
eventually shift the responsibilities of the project over to the community organizations over a
number of years. It also means that over the years, the role of ACD will reduce and role of the
community will increase to the extent of taking over project activities and the management of
community development work by the Village Development Organizations of the villages.
