Poverty remains the root cause of social problems in the developing world. In Pakistan a third of our population continues to live below the poverty line. There is however a huge potential for positive change. A large number of civil society organisations provide social services to local communities. By funnelling philanthropic resources to citizen organizations, this development infrastructure can become a force with significant social impact. Pakistan- a developing country with limited resources has a small tax base that is not expanding rapidly enough to generate sufficient resources for national development. Meanwhile, with the growth in population the number of poor continues to climb and our progress in human development remains modest. Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) was established in 2001 as a nonprofit support organisation with the specific mission of increasing the volume and effectiveness of philanthropy for social development in Pakistan. The Centre's objectives include increasing societal understanding of philanthropy, building linkages between grant-makers and grant-seekers, promoting an enabling environment for citizen action and by influencing policy. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction to affirm that since PCP's inception in 2001, in line with our mission, we have developed and institutionalized philanthropy promotion programs. PCP completed 5 years in December 2006, our staff strength increased due to expansion of programme activities. Improving institutional processes, creating linkages, enhancing the scope of philanthropy support services, effective marketing and advocacy at policy level, are ongoing endeavours of the Centre.

The Centre's research work aims to expand the empirical map on indigenous giving, while simultaneously influencing public policy decisions through effective advocacy and helping stakeholders better plan and organise social investment for civic benefit in Pakistan. In August 2006 PCP's pioneering studies 'Philanthropy by Pakistani Diaspora in the USA' and 'Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan; Survey of Public Listed Companies (2004-2005)' were published. On the basis of this data collected on corporate philanthropy PCP introduced the 'Pakistan Corporate Philanthropy Awards'. These awards were presented to the top 3 giving companies for highest volume of philanthropy and contributions as a percentage of profit before tax. The Centre received wide coverage in national and local print and electronic media in the form of news, articles and talk shows about its Corporate and Diaspora research reports and directory of certified nonprofit organisations 'Gateway to Giving',2000.

Over the past year, the 'Corporate Philanthropy for Education' activities were consolidated and strengthened. The innovative model of school adoption is being increasingly recognised by business leaders, many of whom have contacted PCP for assisting them in developing education programmes for their philanthropy contributions. The number of partnerships increased considerably over the years with philanthropy contributions totalling Rs. 46m. Recognizing the value of this project in their company's CSR activities, many existing partners have increased their commitment and expanded the scope of their partnerships with PCP. The major challenge faced by PCP however, is the lack of experienced and credible NGOs in the rural areas to carry out the responsibilities the partnership; this creates a missing link in the model, hence PCP has increased the activities of our staff team especially in terms of monitoring and reporting.

An innovative addition to PCP's work in 2006 was the Philanthropy Portal- Give to Pakistan Programme which was test piloted towards garnering international philanthropy for social development in Pakistan. It demonstrated an out-of-the-box approach that the Centre has manifested in the globalised world to reach out to givers in USA by collaborating with international market places. Together with its partners Give2Asia, The Asia Foundation, FT Pearson and GlobalGiving, the Centre mobilised more than $1m 'Philanthropy in Times of Disaster' for nonprofit

organisations to provide relief and rehabilitation to earthquake affectees in Pakistan. The Portal is a recognition of PCP's uniqueness in capitalizing modern-day communication to mobilize private philanthropy resources. The support service is underpinned by PCP's regular programmes of certification, monitoring and evaluation. The challenge now is to enlarge the programme so that we can sustain, persuade and activate more international philanthropy for Pakistan's social development as a whole, not limited to earthquake needs alone. My sincerest gratitude to the Board of Directors for their continuous support, commitment and deep involvement at the policy and oversight level.

None of the above achievements would have been possible without the efforts of PCP management staff who have continued to work extremely hard and shown the teamwork and commitment necessary for sustained success. My sincere thanks and appreciation to our contributors, donors, corporate partners, and to the Federal and Provincial governments for their recognition and continued support for philanthropic efforts and the work of our Centre.

I have every confidence that PCP will respond to the needs of philanthropists and organisations in the years ahead, that we will continue to expand the knowledge map beyond boundaries, and promote philanthropy for development. With your support, PCP will continue to grow.

TimelineOver the years many factors in the environment of development, and the triggers and pressures for response have changed but the overarching necessities have remained the same. Most importantly the need to give voice to the many deprived of access to basic amenities, remains. Bolstering this voice is the giving of generous individuals and groups which fills the gap where disparity exists. Strengthening their efforts is the solidarity of like-minded people committed to positive change. Today, through our research and experience we have mapped out the canvas of philanthropy that we looked at five years ago. Today we are more informed and more vigilant about what is required of us. Tomorrow, we will be more responsive to the opportunities and challenges that we have identified over our journey. Our effort is ongoing.

The Enabling Environment consultations

Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy formed in August to transform relief oriented tradition of giving and create new awareness for institutionalised philanthropy, build cross-sectoral linkages and synergies.

In September, PCP initiated work on a vision; an enabling legal and regulatory framework for the organised citizen sector. Termed as the ‘Enabling Environment Initiative’, it involved 2200 individuals in 65 consultations across the country to develop recommendations on a facilitative regime supporting citizen action for development.

In the wake of 9/11, an international wariness towards philanthropy directed to Pakistan or charity for religious causes.

Prevalent wide-spread mistrust of the third sector inhibits giving to NPOs. This handicaps the promotion of institutionalised philanthropy.

The initiative (EEI) resulted in a draft NPO law that proposed a ‘support and governance’ regime for the nonprofit sector. This was presented to the government in 2002. The effort was inconclusive.

PCP engaged in an intensive effort studying standard setting models for the third sector.

The AKDN 2000 report on Individual Giving revealed Pakistanis donate Rs.70 bn. in charity per year.Drying up of donor funding. Realisation of need to shift from foreign dependency to a citizen base for social development.

Corporate philanthropy brings change to the schools and children in Sindh

Certification - Facilitating grant-makers in reaching the vulnerable

Placing philanthropy on the national agenda- Catalysing discussion and launching research at high-poweredevents

2003 2004 2005In it’s Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, the government reiterated the need for public- private partnerships to reduce the gaps in service provision.

In December 2003 the Central Board of Revenue notified PCP as the first certification agency to evaluate NPOs on standards of organisational effectiveness and act as one of the windows to eligibility for tax benefits.

Complementing the government in the provision of education PCP started an 18 month pilot initiative facilitating public and private cooperation. Funded by USAID under the Education Sector Reform Assistance (ESRA) programme, the Public Private Partnerships project (3Ps) was expected to generate philanthropic commitments of comparable value from the business sector to make quality education in government schools available to marginalised communities.

PCP initiated its certification programme; the first in South Asia, to provide a heavily subsidised evaluation service for NPOs. The programme serves to help NPOs enhance effectiveness and grant-seeking capabilities. It also determines eligibility of NPOs for tax-exemption status to incentivise indigenous philanthropy.

Research on thephilanthropies of key groups is insufficient. In the absence of data it is difficult to harness the potential for giving.

PCP in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Philanthropy Consortium (APPC) initiated a six month study to investigate barriers and constraints to charitable giving by high net-worth individuals in Pakistan.

PCP commissioned two major research studies ‘Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan: The Case of Public Listed Companies’ and ‘Philanthropy by Pakistani Diaspora in the USA’, funded by AKF (P) and The Rockefeller Foundation.

PCP participated in regional and global activities with like-minded organisations to share and promote the Pakistan perspective on development. Forums most notably include APPC*, CIVICUS** and the Global Philanthropy Forum***.

Implementation framework for public-private partnerships at district level is unclear. Issues with ownership and execution.

The October 8 2005 earthquake killed 73,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless. The Centre was approached by many grant-making organisations for assistance in identification of credible NPOs.

PCP developed a District Manual and Operational Policy Framework to help the Federal Ministry for Education to institutionalise the processes and modalities of partnership and philanthropy contribution for schools at the district level.

Work on the Philanthropy Portal, a unique, electronic, match-making facility, was initiated. The portal is geared to help potential givers find and reach the most suitable destination for their charitable funds. In collaboration with Give2Asia and The Asia Foundation, this portal facilitated relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation projects for affectees by providing philanthropy worth $0.58 million. PCP was also the implementing partner for the Pearson Earthquake Fund on the utilisation of a $ 201,250 grant.

International Participation

NPO Good Practice

PCP has received 170 applications for certification of nonprofit organisations (NPOs). Of these 158 NPOs have been evaluated and 113 certified. The Certification model was revised to make standards more transparent and measurable. The fee structure has also been revised to increase cost-recovery from 15% to 30%. In the later half of the year, 400 government officials were given orientation sessions in Hyderabad, Sukkur, Bahawalpur, Multan and Faisalabad Districts. Over 500 CBR and Income Tax officers were also trained on NPO Standard.

Expanding the knowledge map

PCP’s pioneering study ’Philanthropy by Pakistani Diaspora in the USA’ was launched by President Musharraf in August 2006. PCP also published ‘Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan; Survey of Public Listed Companies (2004-2005)’ in December 2006. This was a follow up of the earlier study ‘Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan: the Case of Public Listed Companies (2000-2003)’, funded by AKF (P) and launched by Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in April 2006. The survey contained the rankings of top 25 giving Public Listed Companies in two categories i.e by volume of donations and percentage of profit before tax (PBT). On the basis of this survey and in order to recognise top corporate givers, PCP initiated the first ever ‘Pakistan Corporate Philanthropy Awards’. These were presented to the top 3 giving companies for each category by the Prime Minister on January 8, 2007.

Weaving the fabric

In an effort to create and share the philanthropy environment beyond boundaries, in 2006, the Centre established a partnership with Global Giving (a US based development marketplace). Work began on a new innovative programme ‘Give-to-Pakistan’ to connect and facilitate online linkages between grant givers and grant recipients. The team also started designing a Payroll Giving programme. This programme will target companies with large employee-bases and encourage them to facilitate the workers to donate a certain percentage of their pay for projects developed by certified NPOs. Throughout the year, the Centre was also involved in an effort to keep partners informed of global events, updates, articles and opportunities through emails and direct mail; generating informed discussion, catalysing interaction and promoting best practices at seminars, meetings and conferences. The Centre received wide coverage in national and local print and electronic media in the form of news, articles and talk shows about its Corporate, Diaspora reports, Certification directory 'Gateway to Giving' and various dissemination workshops. Exclusive articles by Prof. Saleem H. Ali, Zubeida Mustafa, Zofeen T. Ebrahim and Dr. Faisal Bari appeared in Daily Times, DAWN, IPS and The Nation regarding PCP, philanthropy and corporate philanthropy. Alliance, an international journal focusing on philanthropy also captured PCP’s work on corporate philanthropy and online giving.

After the tragedy

Partnerships with international grant-making foundations such as Give2Asia, the London based Pearson Foundation and Petra Nemcova's Happy Heart Fund, generated approximately $ 1.2 m in international philanthropy for Earth Quake affectees till end December 2006.

Total corporate philanthropy generated from the Public-private partnerships programme (3Ps) since its inception comes to over $729,000 (Rs. 43.75 M) through nine partnerships. These partnerships aim to improve the quality of and access to education in rural and marginalised areas of Sindh. School improvement interventions under these partnerships rehabilitated 60 schools bringing access to better education for approx. 8,500 children. Corporate financial contributions worth $ 173,893 were made in 2006 making a difference in additional 34 schools and positively affecting the learning environment for over 4,000 children. New partners include Citigroup, Huqooq-ul-Ibad Trust, Unilever Pakistan Ltd., English Biscuits Manufacturers Private Ltd., Pakistan Petroleum Ltd., and Tullow (Developments) Pakistan Ltd. Six out of fourteen multi-stakeholder country wide cluster based dissemination workshops at district level were held on the “Operational Policy” and “District Manual” for 3Ps. These manuals will help institutionalise the processes and procedures for partnerships.

he findings of the PCP survey are significant as well as interesting. They confirm the Tchanging trends in philanthropy in the

country which has captured the interest of the government in a big way... The report clearly establishes [the corporations] are not as generous as one would expect them to be. They have not shared their profits magnanimously with the poorer sections of society.

Philanthropy related evidence based research remains central to PCP's work and aims to enhance understanding of various dimensions of philanthropy and civil society. This programme serves to:

i) expand the empirical map on voluntary giving which largely remains untappedii) help stakeholders better plan and organize social investment for civic benefit in Pakistan

In line with the objective of enhancing societal knowledge about philanthropy, the Centre's research agenda is progressing well and has received increasing recognition by stakeholders including the highest level of policy makers.

“I appreciate PCP’s endeavour to promote philanthropy. I see the Centre playing a central role in addressing the lack of trust in citizen organisations.”

This survey was instrumental in initiating the first ever Pakistan Corporate Philanthropy Awards (PCPA) which were given at the annual Karachi Stock Exchange top performers ceremony on January 8, 2007 by Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Shaukat Aziz. He praised the unique role that PCP has played to date in highlighting the importance of corporate philanthropy (CP), the trends associated with it, the issues documented and recommendations made for increasing the volume and effectiveness of CP in Pakistan.

The Centre also produced a research paper titled, “Business and Civil Society working together to contribute to development” for AKDN's forthcoming conference on the Enabling Environment for Private Initiative in Afghanistan” planned for April 2007.

As part of its agenda to continue studying the philanthropic impulses of the corporate sector, PCP conducted a follow up survey to its earlier corporate philanthropy report. “Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan: A survey of public listed companies”, covered the giving of PLCs for the years 2004 and 2005. This survey shows that giving by PLCs has increased two and a half times between 2004 and 2005. This increase is only partly explained by support for earthquake relief and

what synergy can dohow public- private partnerships help shape the future

The Millennium Development Goal of aims to ensure that, by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary schooling. The Government of Pakistan realises in its Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and the Education Sector Reform Action Plan that there is a strong link between social development, poverty and education. With the widest network of schools in the country, government is able to reach out to the largest number of beneficiaries. Furthermore it is acknowledged that while the public sector is the major player in service provision, it’s resources and expertise need to be augmented by civil society investments in order to effectively address and rectify low education indicators. The government is actively seeking partners for the improvement of education.

PCP began facilitating such cooperation by encouraging corporate philanthropy for education under its Public Private Partnerships Programme. Complementing the government’s efforts under this arrangement was the management expertise and financial resources of the corporate sector. The partnership model, funded by USAID under its Education Sector Reform Assistance (ESRA) initiative is helping make quality education accessible to children from marginalised communities in Pakistan, especially in Sindh. The model's winning strength has been in facilitating the corporate philanthropist to enter into partnerships underpinned with agreements, due process and outcome assessments.

Over the years this innovative partnership model has received increasing interest and recognition. New partnerships in 2006 included Pakistan Petroleum Limited in Kamber Shahdadkot, Unilever Pakistan in Ghotki, English Biscuit Manufacturers Ltd and Cargolux in Karachi, Huqooq-ul-Ibad Trust in various districts. PCP also maintained its alliance with previous corporate partners including Dewan Mushtaq Group in Thatta; Petronas Carigali Pakistan Limited and Tullow Pakistan (Development) Limited in Ghotki. The success of the model has resulted in increased interest by corporate partners. Tullow Oil (Development) Limited will be implementing the school

adoption project in another one of their concession areas in Kashmore where they will adopt five schools in addition to the 12 previously adopted. Contributions from philanthropists amount to over $729,000 (Rs. 43.75 M) . The partnership model has been instrumental in increasing access to and enhancing the quality of education for over 8,500 children in 60 schools of rural marginalised areas in Sindh. In 2006 alone, Corporate financial contributions amounted to $ 173,893 making a difference in additional 34 schools and positively affecting the learning environment for over 4,000 children.

The improvement interventions are geared towards improving the physical infrastructure which includes construction of new classrooms, repair and maintenance of toilets, the provision and repair of furniture and hygiene maintenance. The quality of education is ensured through regular teacher training, maintaining appropriate teacher student ratios and provision of learning materials.

Proposals have been prepared and submitted to Baig Group, Arfeen Group, Al-Abbas Sugar Mills. Partnerships with Citigroup, Pakistan International Container Terminal Limited and ICI are in process. School adoption through these partners is expected to begin in early 2007.

PCP provided technical support for the development of the Operational Policy for 3Ps in Education in response to a request from the Federal Ministry for Education, and with the objective of main-streaming and institutionalizing partnerships. This document was shared with all the Provincial Education Departments and finalized after the incorporation of their feedback. The Operational Policy was approved in the Inter Provincial Education Ministers meeting, held in Peshawar on June 10, 2006.

Along with the Operational Policy, a District Manual for 3Ps in Education has also been developed by PCP which clearly defines the Government policy of 3Ps and procedures / codal formalities for its implementation for school adoption.

The District Manual for 3Ps in education provides tools to district level stakeholders to implement 3Ps and aims to facilitate corporations interested in using their philanthropic contribution for the education sector specifically for school improvement programs. The model developed by PCP is presented at various forums as an example of private sector philanthropy supporting improvements in public sector services. PCP is now in the process of disseminating the concept of 3Ps by conducting a series of orientation workshops in selected districts across Pakistan.

Cluster based workshops have been conducted in Karachi, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Peshawar, Multan and Bahawalpur. The Ministry of Education has been very supportive of all 3Ps activities. A dialogue over lunch was jointly organised by the Ministry and PCP to encourage the government sector and corporate sector to engage in 3Ps.

what synergy can do

changing destiny

Government Boys Primary School Jam Pahlwan Bhatti is located in Union Council Lohi, Khangarh, District Ghotki. The area is known to be the hub of petty thieves, dacoits and notorious criminals of the province of Sindh. Anyone visiting the area is warned about the security situation in the area. Despite severe warnings, school needs assessments were conducted by PCP to find that this was possibly the most underdeveloped region with the lowest literacy indicators in the Province.

“For generations, we have been dacoits” exclaimed the parent of a student attending Jam Pahlwan Bhatti School. “My parents, my grandparents, all of us have been pilfering from the surrounding areas. We had no education, no other livelihood, no other hope”. Most of the people in this area have the same story, born in poverty in an arid, underdeveloped area, they resorted to robbery but their aspirations for their children are different. They anticipate that through education their children will one day become 'baray log' or successful people and be able to move to the cities to make a better life for themselves.

Much of this optimism is due to the changes in the social fabric of this region after schools were adopted by Petronas Carigali with the facilitation of PCP. Interventions include improvements in school infrastructure and quality. Newly recruited teachers also act as community mobilizers, promoting education. This is an example on how investments in education can impact the lives of communities and influence their mind set for a better tomorrow.

“With PCP’s facilitation, we have been able to make a difference in the community we care about, for the people we hold dear. We have been able to make our most valued statement.”

Certification team observing teaching practices during field evaluation

NPO good practice measuring against standards of effectiveness

In the year 2003, PCP undertook a unique initiative, the first of its kind in South Asia: the development and implementation of the Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs) Certification System. The institutional mechanism inherent in certification aims to strengthen the nonprofit sector in Pakistan by setting sector-wide standards in Internal Governance, Financial Management and Programme Delivery. The system promotes good governance, financial transparency, disclosure, documentation and effective programme delivery by NPOs.

The efficacy of the programme is recognised by civil society, government, donors, the corporate sector, diaspora, national and international philanthropists, as an important instrument for identifying credible partners for social development. This is a step towards bridging the information and credibility gap that exists between donors and civil society and often proves a major impediment in the promotion of philanthropy in Pakistan.

Certification also enhances the grant-seeking capacities of NPOs by creating opportunities to diversify their resource base. Allied benefits include (but are not limited to) recognition for adhering to international best practices, tax exemptions, enhanced credibility, and promotion through the PCP website and NPO profile directory, Gateway to Giving, 2006.

During 2006, PCP evaluated 77 NPOs and certified 46.

certification review exercise

The experience of evaluating a wide range of nonprofit organisations (from small single-project initiatives to intermediary and umbrella country-wide organisations) has been very valuable. With diversity of experience has come diversity of perceptions, the identification of new areas, the recognition of new needs and the knowledge that the Certification Model being a living document needs to be continually revised and updated to adequately capture the pluralism of the citizen sector in Pakistan. The initial 3-year experience of certification, highlighted the need for a review of the process and parameters of evaluation to make these more objective, professional and contextualised to Pakistan’s nonprofit sector. Resultantly a comprehensive review exercise of the Certification Model was conducted. The parameters given in the model have been revisited and necessary amendments, deletions and additions made. The Centre consulted with a range of local, national and international stakeholders through a series of focus group discussions. Valuable input was received from certified and non-certified NPOs, the Central Board of Revenue (CBR), Ministry of Social Welfare and Special Education (MoSW), the National Council of Social Welfare (NCSW), media, philanthropists, academics, selected corporate entities who are potential users of information generated through the certification process as well as donor agencies in particular, Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), Global Environment Facility (GEF) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with which PCP had signed formal agreements for evaluation of their partner NPOs.

All possible efforts have been made to adequately capture and incorporate the feedback, ideas and suggestions gathered through in-house discussions, focus group sessions and study of international models. The final version of the revised model has been shared and approved by members of the Certification Committee (CC) of the PCP Board of Directors and members of the Certification Panel (CP) on which CBR is also permanently represented.

NPO good practice

“The directory launched by the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy will help to a great extent to ensure credibility and transparency in the social sector.”

your gateway to giving

To aid philanthropy promotion, in 2006 PCP published a directory of certified NPOs. It tells the stories of civil society’s unsung heroes and their struggles to play a positive role in Pakistan’s development. The directory attempts to open doors to easier and more effective giving by providing a comprehensive data-bank of certified NPOs’ programmes, history, financing needs and future plans.

This Gateway presents validated comprehensive data on nonprofit organisations that have been through a rigorous process of evaluation and awarded a ‘seal of good practice’. PCP hopes that this information base will be useful for companies, individual philanthropists, international foundations and Pakistani diaspora looking for credible nonprofit organisations as recipients of their donations.

wo months after the tragic earthquake 45-year old Mariam Bibi and her daughter were still without shelter. She lost her husband and a young son in the T

earthquake. Deserted, without a dwelling and with no means of livelihood, Bibi sought shelter in one of the camp villages supported by Give2Asia in Union Council Labarkot which housed 606 people in 101 tents. For Bibi the Give2Asia funding has meant a roof to protect herself and her daughter from the severe cold and mayhem. She received free food rations on a weekly basis and also received free clothes, quilts etc. She heard of many who had not survived hypothermia and gangrene. She believes the shelter may have saved her life!

n 8th of October 2005, an earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale shook the Northern areas of Pakistan killing more than 73,000 people, O

injuring some 70,000 and leaving 3.5 million homeless. In response to the crisis, Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy collaborated with Give2Asia and the Asia Foundation to facilitate the Pakistan Earthquake Fund. Established within the first week of the disaster it aimed at providing immediate relief to the affected people and later concentrated on their rehabilitation.

after the tragedy

after the tragedycivil society response to the October 8 earthquake

The earthquake of October 8 2005, not only cost human lives but also caused massive damage to the infrastructure. Some 5,857 educational institutions were damaged or destroyed, as were 585 medical facilities and 4,000 miles of road. In the face of this catastrophe the government pledged $89 million for urgent relief. The total international assistance received was $ 2.421 billion. Individual and institutional donations to the President's Relief Fund amounted to $100 million (in November 2005) and another $100 million in pledges from national, international NGOs and the corporate sector.The entire Pakistani nation and the international community came forward for immediate rescue and relief.

In immediate response PCP collaborated with Give2Asia and the Asia Foundation to establish the Pakistan Earthquake Fund (PEF). The fund was poised to support NGOs to provide relief and rehabilitation, livelihood rebuilding programmes including micro-credit, training for relief workers, logistical management and coordination to prevent bottlenecks in delivery goods and the reconstruction of essential buildings such as schools and clinics. From the US, PEF raised $632,072. With these resources PEF helped meet the immediate needs of at least 28,945 affected people and will continue to deliver sustained support till December 2007. In the initial response phase, grants were given to three organizations; Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP), Omar Asghar Khan Development Foundation and Sungi. In 2006 PCP entered into Phase II, III and IV of the relief operation. Besides acting as a project sponsor for Global Giving, PCP facilitated Czech super-model Petra Nemcova’s visit to earthquake affected areas to fund NGOs through her Happy Hearts Fund. The Fund supported the Citizen’s Foundation and Sarhad Rural Support Programme with an amount of $274,229 for rehabilitative projects with a focus on children. PCP became Pearson Foundation’s key implementing partner for Pakistan identifying organisations, vetting proposals, monitoring and reporting back to Pearson on the utilisation of the $ 201,250 grant. Organisations funded include Read Foundation, Aman Foundation, Area Development Organisation from AJK and Bunyad.

ozina, 11 years old, a shy girl with a mischievious twinkle in her eyes, is a student of class 5, at Government Primary School Soomer Rahu & Umar R

Rahu in Thatta, Sindh.

When asked if she was happy coming to school, she said, ”yes” because she had made lots of friends at school. They play hop-scotch and if one can bring a rope from home they can also skip, but they have to be careful because the boys school is also within the same boundary wall. “Girls education is very difficult here, because there are not many female teachers. People are very conservative and do not want to send their girls to boys schools so girls get married very early, as they are a big responsibility for the parents. I am fortunate, because of this school where my father allowed me to get educated by the female teacher”,Rozina said.

Earlier there was no boundary wall which made parents reluctant to enroll their duaghters. The two room, primary schools for boys and for girls have been upgraded by PCP with the support of Tullow Pakistan Limited. The school has made it possible for 100 girls and 74 boys of this area to go to school.

weaving the fabric creating and sharing the giving environment

gearing up for the giving portal

bringing philanthropy closer

In 2005, the Centre began work on the concept of a virtual giving point ‘Give-to-Pakistan’ bringing grant-makers and seekers together. The online giving facility would be backed by an extensive service of due-diligence and reporting. PCP has also collaborated with GlobalGiving (GG), a US-based market place that seeks philanthropy contributions for development projects around the world. PCP sponsors projects developed by its Certified NPOs on the GG website. So far 9 projects have been uploaded which range from education and health to earthquake rehabilitation. This partnership promotes effective collaborative philanthropy. As an extension of the ‘Give-to-Pakistan’ service, and to harness the vast potential of indigenous philanthropy in Pakistan, the ‘Give-to-Pakistan’ team began designing a Payroll Giving Programme (PGP) in 2006. PGP will encourage companies with huge employee bases to encourage their staff to commit Rs 100/- to 1000/- from their salaries for humanitarian projects such as sponsoring a child's education, paying for treatment of a patient or contributing to reconstruction of the earthquake affected areas etc. Payroll programmes have been very successful in promoting philanthropy amongst individuals globally. They have a large potential in Pakistan since businesses increasingly desire to appear socially responsible to their consumers.

We at the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy feel very strongly that media has a defining role in empowering people with information that will help them make informed choices and responsible decisions. This means an inclusive media which progresses the discussion on agendas that are

weaving the fabric

22


facilitating linkages

good for the individual and society as a whole. Our agenda on philanthropy and development involves interacting and partnering with the media, individuals, government, corporate entities and the community. If we can promote exemplary values through our network, it serves our communication purpose to provide inspiration for others, and create popular appeal for the value of long-term, institutionalised contributions for society.

‘Give-to-Pakistan’, PCP’s philanthropy portal is a unique on-line facility which aims to help donors find and reach the most suitable destination for their charitable funds. This mechanism is based on an engine that sifts through a databank of credible, certified organisations (meticulously evaluated by PCP) and returns donation options based on preferences identified by you. Preferences could be geographic, sector-based (e.g. health, education, capacity building), project based (e.g. installation of hand pumps, primary schooling) etc.

A growing number of donors are seeking ways of involving themselves in development projects in Pakistan. They ask: is there a support organization that functions as an interface between grant-makers and recipients? Linking NGOs with donors is a challenging task. PCP is the only philanthropy centre in Pakistan whose programmatic interventions are expressly geared towards tapering the divide between grant-makers and grant-seekers. We strive to:

I. Bridge the information gap between grant-makers and grant-seekers to enable better functional relationships between the two.II. Promote gift opportunities for the effective flow of resources for NPOs, in particular certified organisations. III. Influence philanthropy towards greater effectiveness and transparency.

“By putting our project on the GlobalGiving website PCP has provided us the opportunity to connect with donors. This will enable us to generate funds and provide help to needy children in the earthquake affected areas.”

communications overview

sharing best practice

raising public awareness

promoting our work

Central to our objective is educating stakeholders about philanthropy trends/ best practices across boundaries. We achieve this through our website, radio and TV interviews profiling giving initiatives and promoting the findings of our original research in journals, newspapers and through high-powered events.

A key aim has been to provide unbiased information on the work and issues of the NGO sector with the aim to demystify public perception, raise confidence and allow people a credible pool of options for their giving. In addition to articles by PCP staff, the Centre invites journalists to understand and represent the philanthropy equation from an independent public perspective. Journalists/ academics who have recently been involved with us and made some valuable contributions to the discussion on philanthropy include among others Dr. Faisal Bari, Ms. Zubeida Mustafa, Ms. Zofeen T. Ebrahim, Mr. Saleem H. Ali, Ms. Huma Khawar and Ms. Afshan Subohi.

In an effort to influence decisions and incentivise action through convincing communication about benefit and impact of PCP initiatives, a concentrated effort was directed towards print coverage of PCP's activities. Media coverage of various events included an introduction of the Public Private Partnerships(3Ps) framework in Hyderabad, the launch of PCP's reports on Diaspora and Corporate Philanthropy and orientation sessions on certification and 3Ps in Sukkur, Hyderabad, Karachi, Multan and Bahawalpur. These were covered through radio and print interviews. News items were placed in national dailies and local newspapers such as Tameer-I-Sindh, Daily Kawish and Daily Ibrat. Ongoing activities include news updates of newly certified organisations and developments in our programmes.

institutional capacity financing & human resources

financial strategy

institutional development

From the outset, a major challenge for PCP is funding for its core costs, which so far has been met through support from AKF (P) and PCP's Pakistani contributors. PCP's programmatic activities on the other hand are subject to donor funding. PCP's Core expenditure for 2006 was US $ 181,700 and US $ 277,316 was spent on program activities. Of the Core expenditure, 36% was funded by AKF(P), 28% by USAID and the remaining 36% by Pakistani contributors of PCP. Support to programmatic activities came from the following sources: USAID 37%; AKF(P) 24%; fees earned through Certification 27% and 6% by contributors of PCP.

For long term financing of the Core costs, the Board decided to create an endowment to be supported by multiple sources; which has also been suggested by the Prime Minister. The PM indicated some level of financing from the Government but emphasised that PCP should first raise the bulk of the amount. PCP Board has proposed a three year fund raising strategy which aims for 40% from corporate and individual philanthropists, about 30% by way of government contribution and 30% from institutional giving by donor agencies to raise Rs. 200 million or US $ 3.33 million for its initial endowment fund.

In 2006, PCP staff strength increased from 24 to 29 (22 programme staff) due to expansion of programme activities. Improving institutional processes, creating linkages, enhancing the scope of philanthropy support services, effective marketing and advocacy at policy level, are ongoing endeavours of the Centre.
