Thardeep Rural Development Programme TRDPSOCIAL CAPITAL WORKSHOPAbstract These events report provides an overview how TRDP is planning to ensure the use of indigenous approaches, founded on traditional concepts, to respond & in increasing pressures and opportunities in a complex world of free market economies, competition, exploitation, and privatization, Westernization of culture, environmental degradation, and increasing globalization. Introduction Indigenous cultures are under enormous threat from burgeoning globalization as evidenced by: decreasing indigenous populations, disproportionately high poor health standards, disparities in employment to non-indigenous populations, relatively high crime rates, marginalization from traditional homelands, threats to natural resources, degradation of the natural and spiritual environment, decrease in the use of indigenous cultural practice, rapid social readjustment and transformation, breakdown of traditional societal values and traditions, and loss of traditional knowledge. Indigenous cultures are being increasingly swamped by a tide of global amorphous cultures dominated by capitalism, consumerism, and Westernisation, which are being used to define a new set of core values and principles based on these ideologies. Furthermore, globalisation carries the threat of homogenization and universalisation (UNESCO 1998), This will require acknowledgement of the place and richness of indigenous culture within the global environment, and the opportunities for indigenous concepts and values to provide solutions to complex and compounding world problems. Indigenous values will also be at the heart of any re-awakening of ideologies. A glimmer of hope has become patches of reality in the arid zones of Sindh similar to other parts of country, where, from federal government to the community level, examples provide increased recognition of the importance of indigenous culture and knowledge. Within the area of community development examples illustrate a realignment of indigenous concepts and values with contemporary thinking. This is an attempt to increase & empower indigenous groups; promotion of collaborative learning with indigenous organizations; growth of projects led by indigenous groups; increase recognition and use of indigenous culture; the paradigm shift towards holistic thinking about integrated catchments management; capacity building programmes for indigenous peoples; social policy and planning to achieve indigenous aspirations; and indigenous-led strategic planning for sustainable development and economic growth.


Thardeep Rural Development Programme TRDPSOCIAL CAPITAL WORKSHOPSustainable Development One of the best responses to globalization pressures is for indigenous peoples to take control of their own lives and destiny through some form of strategic direction that can be used as a pathway to empowerment, less dependency, and more active engagement and participation in planning, policy and implementation. A strategy for sustainable development, with a focus on building human and social capacity in availing basic necessities, provides one mechanism for empowerment. Centra l to this holistic d evelop m ent a re TRDP va lues, a strong sense of c ultura l id entity a nd p urp ose , a nd the retention a nd use o f RSP kno w led g e. It is a c onstruc tive a ttem p t to ta c kle the effec ts of globalization from the p ersp ec tive of a minority culture. What is Social Capital? Social capital refers to the institutions, relationships, and norms that shape the quality and quantity of a society's social interactions. Increasing evidence shows that social cohesion is critical for societies to prosper economically and for development to be sustainable. Social capital is not just the sum of the institutions which underpin a society it is the glue that holds them together. The broadest and most encompassing view of social capital includes the social and political environment that shapes social structure and enables norms to develop. This analysis extends the importance of social capital to the most formalized institutional relationships and structures, such as government, the political regime, the rule of law, and civil and political liberties. This view not only accounts for the virtues and vices of social capital, and the importance of forging ties within and across communities, but recognizes that the capacity of various social groups to act in their interest depends crucially on the support (or lack thereof) that they receive from the state as well as the private sector. Similarly, the state depends on social stability and widespread popular support. In short, economic and social development thrives when representatives of the state, the corporate sector, and civil society create forums in and through which they can identify and pursue common goals.

(I am very much thankful and appreciate my team who really managed the time & took lead role in this very sensitive job.)
