ssaThe Rural Support Program Network (RSPN) is a network of ten Rural Support Programs (RSPs) collectively one of the largest groups of civil society organizations working with 2.7 million rural households in 105 districts in Pakistan. The RSPs seeks to promote participatory development by assisting communities in setting up participatory community organizations through social mobilization. The objective of this survey was to collect evidence nationwide that how far COs have achieved their goals and objective of being functional, transparent, accountable, and broadly representative.
