Community
Support Programme (CSP) is a UK Government's Department for
International Development's (DFID) managed programme. The
programme started on January 2003 to provide funding support
to poor, marginalized, excluded, and conflict-affected communities
to address their immediate livelihood issues.
The major initiatives
funded include school buildings, irrigation, drinking water
schemes, improved cooking stoves, foot bridges, improved water
mills, income-generating activities, skills development training,
culvert construction, river embankment protection and so on.
In short, CSP addresses the three important objectives of
DFID. Those are basic services, growth for the rural poor,
and social inclusion as stipulated in Country Assistance Plan.
