Beneficiaries
Although the entire community is the ultimate beneficiary of CCDU’s Programs and activities, the major thrust is on the vulnerable and marginalized community. CCDU is serving communities in two ways, one directly working with communities at field level and the other way is to build the professional capacities of organizations working for the betterment of vulnerable communities.
There are Programs which cover in some way or other, the community as a whole; such as the interventions in the fields of disaster management, environement protection, community capacity building and youth development; offered to achieve over all socio-economic transformation and designed to benefit the larger community, though in varying degrees, and thus to contribute to the well being of the people at large.
CCDU’s Working Approach
CCDU is committed to encourage active participation of the communities in the development of the social and economic lives of the society through their involvement in decision-making, planning and implementation of activities. The interventions undertaken or planned by CCDU keep the aspects of sustainability, gender, social harmony and accountability at the forefront.
On a regional basis, CCDU promotes coordination between the various organizations and institutions involved in the rehabilitation process. For example, in Balakot, Muzzafarabad, Batagram and Siren Valley the relief activities have been carried out in close collaboration with the local authorities and affectees. These aspects guarantee the sustainability of CCDU’s projects.
