What is an Area Development Programme (ADP)?
At the heart of World Vision’s community development work are our Area Development Programmes (ADPs). These are a comprehensive way to tackle poverty across extensive areas, usually including several communities. Skilled national staff work with local people to plan and implement a programme that will last for up to 15 years. World Vision gives priority to helping communities work together to find ways to improve their futures, and particularly focusing on projects that will improve the lives of children.
