  Social Development Foundation (SDF)

The Government of Bangladesh established the Social Development Foundation (SDF) in 2000 as an autonomous organization and it was registered under the companies act of 1994 on 28 July 2001 as a not-for-profit body. SDF facilitates sustainable social and economic development and poverty reduction by building institutions of the poor at the village level increasing their access to knowledge and resources, and supporting sustainable livelihood opportunities.


  SDF is Currently Implementing Three Programs:
 
  SIPP, a New Endeavor to Poverty Reduction

The main program of SDF is the Social Investment Program Project (SIPP), a government-led initiative supported by the World Bank. SDF has conceptualized the program to address the country's extreme poverty as outlined in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) of the Government of Bangladesh. SIPP follows a holistic approach that includes infrastructure, livelihood and institutional development interventions required for sustainable livelihood opportunities.

The Social Development Foundation along with Palli Karma Shahayak Foundation (PKSF) is also implementing a flood restoration and recovery assistance program in the districts devastated by floods in 2007.
