About Us
Integrated rural development programme (IRDP) is a non-profit and non-governmental development social welfare registered organization based in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
IRDP is determined to work for poverty alleviation and to curb the social evils in rural and urban pockets. It opts for animation and mobilization through participatory action research (PAR) as the strategy to eradicate poverty. The organization focuses on participatory tools and practices in its process. IRDP is committed to change social, political and economic condition of the poor and believes that the empowerment of the poor is critical to poverty alleviation because the powerlessness and the poverty are almost synonymous. The intensity of poverty in slums and rural areas challenges us to work, based on advocacy and influencing for outreach of the poor to the resources available and create opportunities through strengthening advocacy at all levels. The pragmatic reality is that the poor lack choice over the resources and the right to influence their future on the basis of their powerlessness.
