SOCIETY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF DROUGHT PRONE AREA

2007

Member since

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Recognize and protect the diverse tenure and production systems upon which people’s livelihoods depend, including the communal and customary tenure systems of smallholders, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, fisher folks, and holders of overlapping, shifting and periodic rights to land and other natural resources, even when these are not recognized by law, and whilst also acknowledging that the well-being of resource-users may be affected by changes beyond the boundaries of the land to which they have tenure rights.
3

Diverse Tenure Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Respect and protect the inherent land and territorial rights of indigenous peoples, as set out in ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including by recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge and cultures contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment".
5

Secure territorial rights for Indigenous Peoples

Mission

The organisation’s mission is to empower the powerless to build up a society that is socially, politically, economically, and environmentally healthy, as well as harmonous and just. Siding with the powerless to unleash their fettered but inherent dynamism and strength to place them in the broad-way of growth, amply fueled and fired to move ahead and build up pro-progress environs, ensuring a harmonious society where social, political, economic, educational, cultural, in-family and inter-family, gender justice, equity and (possibly) equality, and play of good conscience, rule the roost. 

Having completed 25 years of service to the poor and to the village community, SDPPA has quantitatively and qualitatively grown and is moving ahead with infatigable competency to meet the challenges to be encountered in its pursuit of facilitating balanced, participatory, sustainable and integrated development of the poor in its operational areas, fighting poverty in all its ramifications and dehumanizing manifestations across the village community.

Objectives

SDPPA organizes its work around four main objectives, namely:

1) Organising people and generating critical awareness among them on areas relating to social, political, economical, environmental aspects.

2) Upgrade and enhance the socio-economic status of women.

3) Ensure economic empowerment of the community organisation.

4) Promote environment awareness and improved agricultural practices. 

Constituencies

SDPPA's beneficiaries include landless, small and marginal farmers, women and people with a disability.
