While individual projects are entirely independent and distinct, they all follow the Rural Support Programmes (RSP) approach to development, by producing outlines incrementally rather than going in with a blueprint.
The FATA Programmes adopt an incremental approach of first building trust and then coming up with human res ource policies and grafting on traditions.
[7] With assistance from the FATA Secretariat the project ran from 2013 to 2015 and aimed at strengthening the local communities in an effort to revive collective action, enhance social cohesion and augment grass roots representation in participatory planning and implementation.
It aims to facilitate the reintegration of displaced persons by supporting livelihood, financing reconstruction of essential infrastructure and creating income earning opportunities for dislocated people in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
The project will also support and sustain community-driven local development initiatives to create a favourable socioeconomic environment for returning Internally Displaced Persons.
