To involve civil society and the corporate sector to partner in Community Development an EOI call of Community Development Project (ADP # 1396) was published in the leading news papers on August 05, 2008 in response of which about 149 proposals were received for different sectors by the Public Private Partnership Unit. Amongst the Sectors were Alternate Energy, Community Development, Education, Health, Industry, Livelihood, Safe Drinking Water, Skill Development, Law, Social Mobilization, Socio-cultural, Water & Sanitation, Women Development and Women Rights etc. To evaluate the proposals a Technical / Evaluation Committee was notified for recommending the short listed proposals with comments and feedback to Programme Steering Committee, which was also notified for approval / rejection of the proposals. Altogether 27 CSOs were selected under this scheme.
Since Corporate Sectors is already providing community development activities, especially in their area of operation, as part of their "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" as such it was involved in partnership for expanding its activities and assuming more responsibility through a wider, well thought-out and holistic plan / programme for development of communities so that the contribution of the Corporate Sector helps the Public Sector in under taking community development activities on a larger scale thus yielding better results and achieving substantial and meaningful impact.
Since the subject scheme envisages community development through Civil Society Organizations, the Corporate Sector would have the option of joining hands with CSOs or directly partner up with Public Sector by providing / contributing funds, if they so wish for sutainable community development. under this Project, Rs. 200,000 million were allocated.
