MISSION-STATEMENT
CSAP in its work synthesizes the methodical approach of concretization and empowerment of communities. Our Association undertakes social analysis of the society within the framework of participation, equity and equality. Based on the principle of Human Rights as enshrined in the U.N.O. Charter and the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Civil Society Association of Pakistan believes that Peace and National Harmony is possible only when knowledge and experience possessed by each individual is released in a transparent process and through collective group actions and while pursuing the goal of National Harmony and Peace shall undertake empirical analysis, to identify discrimination and gaps in access and quality of life within Sindh and compared with national scenarios.
CSAP believes that through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding perception of reality do change. CSAP would endeavour to orient personal actions and personal perceptions through socialization and education when individual values, preferences and norms have been internalized. People form their needs, hopes and aspirations according to those perceptions. This subjective reality will always orient personal action and interaction with other human beings. Civil Society Association of Pakistan would gear these aspirations towards group action and constructive roles for the welfare of Pakistanis and other international communities.
Civil Society Association of Pakistan would operate on the assumption that ‘modernization paradigm’ is a reductionistic view which neglects the diversity of possible cultural understandings of development. Each society has created its own language and culture, which reflects its values, traditions and vision. It is the basic right of each society to preserve, protect and flourish these values. CSAP shall work to achieve Aims and Objectives of the Association as outlined in Clause-4 of the Constitution of Civil Society Association of Pakistan.
