Community Capacity Development Programme
Community Capacity Development Programme (CCDP) is supported by TEAR Australia and is being implemented in 30 villages out of which 25 are in District Mirpurkhas and 05 are in District Umerkot. The Goal of the project is to develop human capacity and skill leading to empowered and decision making target communities. CCDP is focusing on developing more human capacities rather than facilitating the communities with hard inputs. Village Development Groups (VDGs) and Self Help Groups (SHGs) are now empowered enough that they are able to develop their Village Development plans for their villages. As an achievement, 3 villages of the CCDP has purchased their own land for their permanent residence. Now they are independent, and no one can force them to leave the area.
