Background
Born in 2020 as a homegrown enterprise with sole proprietorship, the Centre for Sustainable Development was set up to serve the development sector as a private-sector Business Development Service Provider. In 2021, CSD was registered as a Partnership Firm focused on the development sector with a specialization in Research, Training, and Social Enterprises, and Business Development.
In February 2022, the Centre for Sustainable Development (Pvt) Limited was registered as a Private Limited Firm registered with the Securities Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under section 16 of the Companies Act (XIX 2017) in the Government of Pakistan. It expanded its services of Research, Training, and Development to Livelihood, Governance, Gender, Institutional Development, and Enterprise and Business Development. The Centre for Sustainable Development philosophy and values are interwoven in its very name i.e. empowerment, creativity, and integration:
The services provided by company were expanded to Health & Nutrition and Peace, Education & Life skills and the firm took measures to strengthen the institution by devising advantageous policies and SOP's for staff. The Center for Sustainable Development is a mission to "Mobilize and motivate vulnerable communities through different aspects, provide those opportunities so that they play an effective role for sustainable development in the society” enabling youth for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), social development, and strengthening youth for change. CSD’s envisions building young policy researchers and development practitioners through building self-capacity and inspiring young people to understand and engage with social issues so that they can initiate and lead citizenship action and bring about social change in their own communities. As part of an escalating interest around the globe in the role of young researchers as leaders of social change. CSD’s started Research for Sustainable Development Initiative (SDI’s) aiming to strengthen the voices of youth for ensuring their quick access to prevailing basic fundamental rights.
