Background
ADAB, as a unique network of
NGOS, has developed over the last two decades or so and emerged as a
model for the development NGOs across the world. It brings together its
members working within the broad framework of people-centered
sustainable development. One of its central goals is to knit these
constituent parts closer together and respond to their needs creatively.
It has been playing active roles in strengthening inter-NGO relations,
exchanging ideas and experiences, expanding fields of co-operation,
developing organizational skills and enhancing functional relations and
communication with government, donors and various groups of civil
societies.
ADAB is registered
simultaneously under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 and Foreign
Donations Regulation Ordinance of 1978. Currently ADAB has a membership
of 886. Of these, over 231 (as of Dec. 1997) are at the central level
and 655 are at the Chapter level.

Objective
The goal of ADAB is to
contribute in establishing a just, democratic and secular society which
has largely reduced poverty, environmental pollution and all kind of
oppressions including gender.
ADAB is created with the
objective to establish a strong and effective NGO sector capable of
creating favorable environment for empowerment of the poor,
gender-equity, conservation of ecosystem, unified civil society,
functional democracy and reintroduction of secular state.
ADAB always moves with the
development needs of the time and aspirations of the grassroots people
and is always ready to listen, learn, experiment, adapt and change. It
is therefore natural that the nature and dimension of ADAB programs have
undergone changes over the years.
