Community Management and Development Program (CMDP)

 ABOUT US          

Community Management and Development Program (CMDP) is a multi-disciplinary, non-profit, research and development focused organization, recognized under the societies registration Act 1860 of KPK Pakistan. It was established in 2016 by a dedicated and visionary group of young professionals with a passion to support the individuals and communities to promote social cohesion and structure for the sustainable development in vulnerable areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Pakistan as a whole. CMDP is dynamically working at community level in ways that can lead to poverty alleviation, decent work and economic growth, empowerment of persons having special needs, quality education, green environment, productive youth-force and peaceful societies, and all other activities that support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Pakistan. #cmdp.org
