Development Programmes

SDI programme is carried out within the framework of peaceful means and political stability in the country of the organisation recipient. Generally, SDI operates in countries where the risk of political upheaval is considered to be low. Whereas, RILIVES programme on the other hand focuses on countries stricken by any of the following factors: natural disaster, humanitarian catastrophes, conflicts and wars, an exceptional circumstance creating abject poverty. Countries falling within the scope of this programme are seen as high risk.
