Centre for Services and Information on Disability (CSID) came into being in 1997. Since its emergence, meaningful developments have taken place in the organisation. The small initiative, which began with a few volunteers, has grown into an institution that has nearly 100 employees and dozens of community volunteers. The projects of CSID have gained national and international recognition too. The past fifteen years have been a dynamic period for CSID and have witnessed many successes and challenges. It has been a learning experience, and now the initiatives and activities of CSID have gained a momentum and are being conducted with a clear purpose.
At this juncture of organizational development, CSID and its partners and beneficiaries felt that it was necessary to develop a long-term strategy which would clearly outline the strategic direction, planned programmes and resource requirement for the organization. Such a long-term strategic plan would also enable CSID to reinstate its mandate, identify and focus on its priorities, and utilize its capacity and potentials to the fullest extent.
This long-term strategic plan of Centre for Services and Information on Disability is not to be considered as a static document in isolation. It is a moving and flexible guideline that should be considered in conjunction with other policies/guidelines like, operational/administrative manual, financial manual, gender policy, multi-year plans of different projects, proposals for future projects, etc.
