Initially a Swiss NGO Programme, Civil Society HID Programme (CHIP), became a value-led national HID support organization. It has been working for more than a decade in strengthening Civil Society Organizations working for the disadvantaged. CHIP's scope of work places the emphasis on Human and Institutional Development (HID). The rationale being that HID – is the foundation of any development strategy. It provides the framework as well as the fuel for translating ideas into action. Everywhere, even when strategies are similar, the difference between success and failure is determined by how well people are prepared to achieve goals and how well their organizations are able to support them. Through its proven HID approach, CHIP improves and strengthens organizations at human, organizational and institutional levels to achieve programme efficiency and effectiveness. In October 2004, CHIP got registered as not for profit organisation under section 42 of Companies Ordinance. Since then CHIP has been working as an independent organisation on wide range of development topics. Our detailed strategic focus is explained below:
An Aware and Organized Society Capable of Realizing its Own Development
Enabling individuals and organizations to make more effective and efficient development efforts through the provision of value-led Human & Institutional Development (HID) services.
CHIP's operations and strategic orientation is based on the experience that HID interventions have had in shaping current development perspectives. Using this approach, CHIP provides professional services to a wide array of organizations that add value to local development interventions. Human and Institutional Development as an approach has the following key principles:
CHIP offers the following two distinct strategic services:
Under project implementation services CHIP designs and implements development projects or selected project activities directly through its field offices. The major thematic focuses are health, disability, education, human rights, water, sanitation, natural resource management and livelihood development.
