Vision

We are a national forum of individuals and organisations concerned with development which is participative, pluralistic and dynamic.

As a catalyst for national civil society and a strategic counterpoint to the intra-governmental system, our federation promotes aspirations, new ideas, and policy action designed to transform development priorities towards a society which is people-centered, sustainable, democratic, just and inclusive.

By working with member organisations (NGOs), in academia and research, with governments, and global and regional institutions, the purpose of the Federation is:

• To advance and refine the theory and a coherent practice of sustainable human development;
• To undertake comprehensive child development initiatives (in different forms) for the elimination of child labour;
• To undertake man making program by introducing advance socialization process;
• To identify and communicate policy options;
• To create platform to exchange and review developmental information, initiatives and experiences;
• To create a constructive dialogue; and
• To empower individuals and groups for greater community self-reliance.

Mission:

Our mission will be pursued through a number of activities which are inter linked and organized in three program areas:

I. MONITORING HUMAN SECURITY,SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT

· To implement, analyze, articulate and support policy options favourable to human security and child development;
· To review and monitor the policy and practice of human security and child development

II. STRENGTHENING CIVIL SOCIETY AND PROMOTING COMMUNITY SELF -RELIANCE

· To create opportunities for the expression of civil society perspectives and roles in development;
· To promote the legitimacy and replicability of viable alternatives for people's livelihoods

III. BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGE

· To increase public awareness of the links between people's perceived interests and aspects of human security and development;
· To mobilize NGOs by actively building coalitions in support of specific policies and programs.

Seven Principles of our development:

· Development must be indigenous and rooted at the grassroots (local) level
· Development must be people centered with priority on child development
· Development must be environmentally sound and sustainable
· Development must promote peace and harmony in the society
· Development accountability must be fostered
· Development must be holistic with multi-sectoral approach
· Development must leads to self-reliance with an entrepreneurial spirit
