PEP – Vision & Mission

Vision:

PEP’s vision is of a strong and united village society with respect for all members, social awareness and which offers a standard of life for all which allows them to meet their basic needs.

 

Mission:

PEP’s mission is to create a model of rural development that can be replicated in any area of the country – one that will facilitate the creation of the strong society PEP envisions.

 

Goal:

PEP’s goal is poverty eradication, which is instrumental in affording all members of society their due respect and the necessities of life.

 

 

The objectives are:

  • To reduce poverty by at least 50% in each upazila where PEP works.
  • To foster a comprehensive and integrated development process whereby the main development works undertaken in any upazila can be completed within 15 years.
  • To help create a more balanced, diversified and vibrant economy with specific emphasis on neglected sectors such as cottage industries, reforestation, fisheries, poultry, and sericulture.
  • To promote innovative agricultural activities such as short-duration pariza rice cultivation, flood-resistant and drought-tolerant rice verities, liming of acidic soils and integrated rice-fish cultivation.
  • To Promote the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, and non-grain crops to counteract the present unbalanced food production system that primarily focuses on the production of rice.
  • To ensure the creation of new employment opportunities and that economic assets and income go to the poor whenever possible.
  • Promote and improve the environment.
  • To promote women’s equality, healthy child development, and leadership among the rural poor.
