AKDN agencies address a broad spectrum of development issues in the social, economic and culture spheres. For more information about individual agencies, please see the Aga Khan FOundation and the Social development programmes include pioneering integrated rural development programmes; the provision of housing, water and sanitation systems to rural communities; systemic school improvement initiatives; the improvement and decentralising of the provision of health service delivery; and innovative community led approaches to reproductive health and child survival. A multi-sectoral post earthquake rehabilitation programme is also underway in Gujarat.



The Network also mobilises direct economic investment with the objective of expanding economic activities in selected areas. It actively promotes the creation of legal and fiscal structures that encourage the growth of the private sector. At the same time, it works to bring together the private sector and civil society to improve social conditions and reinforce the cultural resources of society. Aga Khan.
