IRSP is a multi sector development organization working on integrated development approach to bring a sustainable development in the region. IRSP was evolved from Pak-German IRDP and went through many phases of its development.
Before 1994, RDOs were continually working with Pak German IRDP Mardan for social mobilization and support of the VOs and WOs. These RDOs had close coordination with IRDP. During 1994-95, the RDOs realized the need for central coordination, managing and lobbying body of that could replace IRDP at phasing out in December 2000. The RDOs thus jointly decided to form a divisional level body to maintain the socio-economic development in the area in collaboration with Local Govt., external donors and other developmental organizations. Thus RCD was established to manage the RDOs at regional level.
The management of IRSP as an organization was formally structured to replace IRDP after its phasing out in December 2000. Since January 2001 it has been working with this structure under the governance of BoD of IRSP formed from RDOs.
