What is CSED?
CSED is federally registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan as a nonprofit organization. We are tax-registered with Federal Board of Revenue. The Pakistan Center for Philanthropy has ratified us as a "credible organization."
We build social cohesion, promote dialogue and culture, assist in microenterprise development, and strengthen democracy and media in the Pakistani context(s).
Social Cohesion
Come together.
We work with communities to build resilience against fallacies leading toward extremism and violence.
Dialogue / Culture
Understand each other.
We create platforms to connect people and assist them in appreciating Pakistan's present and historical diversity.
Microenterprise Dev.
Micro is macro.
We build the professional and personal skills of youth, particularly women, for economic empowerment.
Democracy / Media
Only way forward.
We engage local stakeholders to strengthen democracy and work with the media to promote Constitutionalism in Pakistan.
Who We Work With?
In addition to working with the local and international development partners, we consistently engage with professional and community organizations and their leaders on the four thematic areas mentioned above.
CSED's Board Members and the core Management Team include accomplished and experienced professionals. They carry solid international and regional social and development perspectives, which enables the organization to work with global and local stakeholders with ease and expertise. Although we have primarily worked with US and EU-based donors, we continue exploring opportunities to connect with corporate, public, and community-based organizations to benefit local communities.
