A not-for-profit, rights and responsibilities-based organization improving the well-being of communities across Pakistan — creating awareness of basic rights and ensuring access to those rights.
Since 1994, SPO envisions a democratic, socially just, and ecologically sustainable society with a mission to support and strengthen disadvantaged communities and public interest institutions for resilient development.
Our work with communities across the country validates the belief that destinies change when people themselves make decisions governing their lives. We define Pakistan by its beautiful landscapes, mighty rivers, rolling green fields, fulsome orchards, sandy beaches, and breath-taking mountains — by its civilizational heritage which commenced over 8,000 years ago.
Equally, we define Pakistan through its 220 million women, men, and children — imbued with remarkable strengths and potential. Tens of millions bravely toil every day to secure livelihoods and gain access to basic social services.
SPO has evolved over 30 plus years from a modest initiative in 1987 — taken by the Canadian International Development Agency to transfer their Small Project Office to an entirely Pakistani-led new entity — into a nationally recognized NGO and a leading voice for rights-based development in Pakistan.
