Ours is an innovative programme. There is an immense need to develop a �Shamsabad Model� suitable for Pakistan. The innovations will be done through our Research & Training Centre (RTC) which will thoroughly analyse the problems of first programme area and the available methods to solve them; and then, it will try to evolve more and more suitable methods through extensive research, both in social and technical sectors. Initially, this centre will assist the community of first programme area in all developmental work by providing training and technical help. It will evolve an arrangement, which can enable effective interaction between qualified professionals and research institutions on the one hand, and the informal sector and low-income communities on the other. It will also develop strategies, which can be integrated into the planning mechanisms of our government.
When at its peak, this centre will provide training to NGOs, government agencies, members of donor agencies, and community organisations.
The working of RTC is based on Research & Extension method. We have selected two pilot areas (one from Urban and one from rural area) in first programme area. These will serve as �Demonstration Area�. Initial development work is being done here and will be extended gradually to other areas included in programme.
All efforts are being made to maintain proper documentation to ensure replication of this model elsewhere.
