WHO WE ARE

 

The Center for Social Innovation in Developing Countries (CSIDC) is a 
justice-oriented leadership and strategy institute, with an expertise in climate, energy and gender. 


We build conditions for coordinated leadership of actors pushing for just outcomes - communities, civil society, and like-minded allies. We intervene at three layers: 

  1. Strengthen the leadership capability of people and teams

  2. Increase their coordination capacity to co-develop and execute a focused strategy 

  3. Facilitate cross-sector coordinated action of actors pushing for justice: communities, civil society, and like-minded allies.


We work in Pakistan, across Asia-Pacific and beyond by bringing global best practices, primarily Harvard’s leadership pedagogy, into dialogue with the lived realities of frontline communities.

CSIDC PARTNERS

Impact is individual but transformation is a collective work.

CSIDC has grown as a hybrid civil society organization with an array of value-aligned partners:

We equip social justice leaders with leadership skills, in Organizing and Adaptive Leadership. We take pride in bringing global best practices, primarily Harvard’s leadership pedagogy, into dialogue with the lived realities of communities and creating contextualised spaces.

 

We help justice-oriented leaders and teams develop winning strategies.

 

We nurture coordinated efforts with care, intentional, and transformative solidarity to enable collective power.
