Approach
SRSP's framework is based on the Rural Support Programmes (RSP's) approach to community empowerment, and economic and livelihood development.{{cite web|title=Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP)|url=http://seedventures.org/initiatives.php|publisher=SEED, Social, Entrepreneurship and Equity Development|access-date=2013-11-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109124337/http://seedventures.org/initiatives.php|archive-date=2013-11-09|url-status=dead}} At the heart of this approach is the belief that marginalized communities and disadvantaged people have within them the capacity for self-help. Pakistan’s Rural Support Program (RSP) movement pioneered bottom-up, community-driven development using a flexible, autonomous, politically neutral approach, which has been replicated successfully across PakistanPakistan as well as in India and Bangladesh.{{cite news|title=Particapatory Approach:With little government help, people can do wonders|url=http://tribune.com.pk/story/571143/participatory-development-with-little-govt-support-people-can-do-wonders/|newspaper=The Express Tribune|date=2 July 2013}}{{cite news|title=Building communities: how poor people are unlocking their own potential|url=https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/feb/28/building-communities-poor-people-potential|newspaper=The Guardian|date=28 February 2013}}
