UK’s Department for International Development has launched a consultation to get ideas on how to improve its assistance for Pakistan. The key questions are:
How can UK help to increase Pakistanis’ access to basic services i.e. education, health etc?
What do you think should be the priorities of the Pakistani Government’s policy on poverty reduction?
What can UK do to promote economic success and growth that benefits the Pakistani poor?
What needs to be done to support more involvement of poor people, especially women, in decision making that affects them?
What can UK do to help the Government of Pakistan to promote transparency and accountability?
You and I may scoff at this…… pass sarcastic comments or we may give input and at least try to get our voices heard at this planning stage.
We’ll collect inputs and by end of March formally send all the comments etc to the DFID to either consider or throw out of the window. Either way, we would at least have played our part for whatever it is worth.
