REED believes in the right of people to live in freedom and dignity, free from terrorism, insurgency, conflicts, poverty and despair and have the equal opportunity to enjoy all their rights and fully develop their human potential as enshrined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights 1945 and the United Nations Charter including other international mechanisms and systems.

REED believes in developing a learning society that progresses at each level of individual and collective transition. We believe that human potentials can be fully harnessed with deliberate and focused development efforts. Our capacity building and empowerment initiatives that is need based, embraces both the practical and strategic needs of individuals and groups.

Strengthening Governance Infrastructure is a model coined by REED Center to demonstrate the inter-connectivity of the foundations of governance such as free, fair and credible elections, freedom of the press and information, impartial and incorruptible judiciary, effective participation of citizens in the democratic process and efficient security architecture.

REED is committed to promoting and defending human rights locally, regionally and internationally through advocacy, research and education. Through our right-based approach, projects are developed after necessary baseline studies, critical analysis and consultation with our constituencies.
