The centre sees Social Development as offering an opportunity for citizens to determine their own needs and to influence decisions that affect them on social policy and economic initiatives at local, national and global levels. The ultimate objective is to bring about sustained improvement in the well being of the individual, family, community and society at large.

Presently the Centre views the key dimensions of social development to be processes which seek to (a) address issues of poverty, (b) achieve full employment and (c) strengthen social integration.
