In 1987, collaboration between the Government of Pakistan (GOP) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) resulted in the formation of a Pak-Canada Small Projects Office (SPO). However, it was soon realized that the projects would serve little purpose due to lack of skills and capacity in the communities bringing the shift in focus from project support to capacity building. Three Pakistanis who had deep insight into development and political processes of the country led the process of transformation of Small Projects Office into a wholly indigenous and completely Pakistani organization called Strengthening Participatory Organization in 1994.
Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) is a non profit company registered on January 15, 1994, setup license from SECP(CLA) under section 42 of the Companies Ordinance 1984 and approved under section 2(36) of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
