Our Mision

 

Through this portal, we aim to:

 

  • To establish the World Rural Development Day as a recognized international day on rural development at local, national, regional and global levels;
  • To utilize the WRDD portal as an effective tool/platform to promote connectivity between CIRDAP and multi-stakeholder including research organizations, public and private organizations, cooperatives, farmer organizations, community organizations and networks for building awareness, knowledge learning and mobilizing collaborative actions for achieving the SDGs;
  • To accelerate the collective actions on integrated rural development to meet the SDGs in 2030 on 6 July and throughout the year.
  • To celebrate and showcase success stories of multi-level rural development initiatives, inspiring others and demonstrating the transformative impacts on sustainable development. 

Why the Rural Development Day Matters?


Poverty alleviation, food security, nutrition, local governance, trade, livelihoods, access the basic needs, sustainable development and efficient use of natural resources in rural areas are main burning issues of Asia and the Pacific Region and of the world that require special and immediate attention for sustainable development.

It is estimated that about 87% of the world’s 500 million small farmers are in Asia and the Pacific region.

CIRDAP hopes that the Day will help inform the public on important role of rural areas and develop a worldwide movement to improve the quality of life of the far-reaching marginalized rural people who are living in our important areas in which improving of their well-beings will ensure our human survival.
