The Cropper Foundation

Human development is about creating an environment in which people are provided the opportunity to develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accordance with their needs and interests. It also has to do with providing the space and opportunity for people to enlarge their choices.

This understanding has driven the Foundation to network with likeminded individuals and organizations to influence development policy and practice locally, regionally and globally so that issues like socio-economic development, equity, concern for the environment, disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation are addressed not as disconnected activities, but in a holistic manner within the framework of sustainable development.

We come from a society that is still trying to evolve constructive mechanisms for ongoing citizen opinion and input not predicated on partisan politics or political cycles. That’s the role and the road The Cropper Foundation has chosen in seeking to influence the course of our development.”
