 Focus Areas

Human Development: Sustainable international development is one of key challenges in the world. PROGRESPECT will provide solutions with multi pronged approaches addressing various barriers. We have a hybrid methodology to work with Government and Inter-government agencies. Both these are key partners in international development. We develop an international hub for learning, capacity development, research and knowledge resources using digital technologies. Apart from this we develop an international development contracting agency to involve in major projects supported by these two.

 Innovation

We strongly believe in innovation, information and technology in international/human development approaches. We will address these three essential requirements. They are:

As our proposed methodology has emphasized a hybrid mechanism to work with two key stakeholders (such as government and inter-government counterparts) we create a synergy from those two’s experience and contribution. This will be a new kind of experience in integrated development approach in digital era.
2. Our work is in an alignment with the UN SDGs and other INGOs focal areas so there is no scope to deviate from the global development approach.
3. We strongly committed to build and dynamic knowledge society through globally digital based knowledge sharing and exchange for government and intergovernmental stakeholders.
