The organisation pursues its vision with a clear vision, which is “to be a civil society organisation role model in providing voice and services to the less privileged and vulnerable segments of society.”
And its mission is “to promote quality service delivery that would improve the living conditions of the people, while ensuring true partnership, accountability and good governance.”
SIRP works in the areas of gender equality and women’s empowerment, HIV and AIDS, sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), drug demand reduction through prevention, education and awareness, HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT), treatment and referrals.
