What we doAuto Advanced Association for Development- (AAAD) is a non-government, non-profit, non-political, humanitarian, socio-economic developmental local voluntary organization, established in the year 1999 with the cooperation and untiring efforts of few professional and well experienced social workers who had been working with several international and national NGOs in the field of rural and urban development. This was established with the philanthropic ideas to find out appropriate ways of solving the multifarious problems in the society and promoting the socio-economic condition of the landless, poor destitute and the oppressed multitude through mobilization and utilization of local and other available resources.
•Our new target competence is Networking. Through Networking, we undertake the following activities:
Query Redressal Service
Information Dissemination
Capacity Building & Training
Market Linkage
Input Technology
Diversification of crops
Consulting services
Human Resources services
1. Since its foundation in 1999, AAAD mission has remained unchanged: to help the poorest to improve their access to healthcare, education, agriculture and financial security, and to overcome their special vulnerability to the emergency situations generated by manmade crisis, civil conflict, natural disaster and even in war.
2. Create a national and international network of rural development, agribusiness and civil society professionals involved in all aspects of agriculture and rural development
3. Enhance the agricultural knowledge base by utilization of available scientific knowledge, use of traditional knowledge base in an appropriate mix to yield results, which are economically and ecologically sound
4. Deal with systemic asymmetries and bottlenecks and enable farmers to reach out to the markets in Bangladesh and exports markets as well, thereby getting better value for produce and reduce volatility of spot markets for agricultural produce
Our Mission
Auto Advanced Association for Development (AAAD) is committed to serve the less privileged and downtrodden people of Bangladesh. The promoter of the organization is committed to render utmost services and care to the have-notes and to those who are living in sub-human condition in order to make them self-sufficient. We believe “small is beautiful and suitable for small” and as such, we start all our activities on a small-scale basis.
The proceeding of our work is slow but steady and we expand our activities depending on the local socio-economic and political situation and after proper evaluation of our previous programs. We have long and practical experience of working with the destitute people of Bangladesh and as such we believe that proper motivation, appropriate training and financial assistance can make the uprooted and poverty stricken people self-reliant and become masters of their destiny and achievement.
AAAD believes that the beneficiaries will play active role for their total development and AAAD itself will act as catalyst in promoting the course of action towards accomplishment.
