Directors’ Report

Directors’ Report Financial Year July 2019 - June 2020

The Board of Directors of Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) is pleased to present its report on the Financial Year ended 30 June 2020 which witnessed the COVID-19 outbreak. In these critical times, PCP became an integral part of coordinating the philanthropic response to the pandemic. It continued its operations (online) effectively, while at the same time connected givers and the receivers generating an immediate response that served the most vulnerable.

Working online, PCP ensured that the certification process went on unabated. Applicant organizations, especially the ones that had initiated relief activities for the COVID-19 crisis were prioritized for a fast-track evaluation and certification. With staff safety in view, field evaluations were suspended. Instead, a more stringent mechanism was devised for a record-based evaluation that ensured least impact on the organizations’ evaluation and certification capabilities. In the last quarter of the year, four online Certification Panel meetings were held with full attendance from all members and a total of 112 organizations were presented for review. Most importantly, the already certified organizations by PCP were promptly connected with donors looking for trustworthy and agile partners on ground.

Though PCP’s flagship programme is its certification standards regime, PCP’s Philanthropy Support unit, this year, came out at the forefront by facilitating international foundations/donors with their COVID-19 relief activities in Pakistan. It is noteworthy that in these grave times, funding of US$ 0.78 million was mobilized and facilitated. PCP, in collaboration with its generous donors, made sure that grantee organizations and project beneficiaries were registered with Ration

Donation Coordination Platform established by the Government of Pakistan’s Ehsaas Programme.

A total of USD 1.6 million cross-border financing was mobilized/coordinated during the year. The break up includes a partnership with PepsiCo Foundation, S&P Global Foundation and Philanthropy University, where grants of US$ 777,545 were facilitated to support the pandemic response. Another US$ 678,763 were mobilized to support Amal Academy’s career-prep fellowship programme. In addition, under Give2Asia’s fiscal sponsorship programme, PCP facilitated donations of US$ 215,816 for four of its certified NPOs.

At the national level, PCP facilitated grants of PKR 8.63 million for Packages Foundation. PCP was also the lead for the Planning Commission’s sub-committee to propose innovative financing models for health, education and social welfare. A National Conference on Pakistani Civil Society, and a roundtable on Innovative Financing Mechanism for Social Impact were organised in partnership with Democracy Reporting International (DRI) and German Development Cooperation (GIZ).

To continue with smooth and swift processing of certification applications during the COVID-19 crisis, PCP decided to adopt ‘Record-Based Evaluations’ as field visits were suspended for staff safety. Unhindered access of clients was ensured by sharing cell phone numbers of PCP Management on its website.

The PCP certification process extends beyond Tax benefits and an increase in exposure to funding avenues as it provides detailed insight into the performance efficiency of an organization and its inherent risks owing to possible non-compliance. The confidence that the development sector has in PCP’s accreditation is a testament to the high standards and practices that PCP holds for itself. Since inception, PCP has thus far evaluated more than 1200 NPOs across Pakistan. During the year, a total of 234 organizations were evaluated and another 168 were certified. To improve organizational efficiency and effectiveness of the programme, PCP plans to execute the development of a Certification Management Information System (CMIS) which will digitize parts of the certification process.

As part of its continuous awareness raising programme, PCP conducted orientation sessions at various Regional Tax Offices in Pakistan and prepared the Tax Guidebook Series with the

19Annual Report

objective of supporting NPOs for a better understanding of tax benefits available to them.

Another very important contribution this year was the assistance provided for the fulfilment of FATF demand of imparting training to CSOs, creating awareness on countering financing of terrorism and money laundering. Back-to-back sessions were held in major cities in collaboration with NACTA, FBR, SECP, Ministry of Information and other departments. These sessions helped CSOs to learn about the latest developments pertaining to legal and policy guidelines for meeting obligations under FATF.

PCP’s Research programme aims at generating evidence-based knowledge and awareness about philanthropy, which remains a less researched area worldwide. In collaboration with the British Council, PCP undertook an exploratory study on philanthropic giving practices of Pakistani diaspora in the UK. The objective was to assess the existing potential of, and motivations for giving to various social causes in Pakistan. This avant-garde, cutting edge research revealed that, on an average, the annual philanthropic giving of Pakistani diaspora totals GBP 1.25 billion. The largest amount comes from Zakat-donations as a fulfilment of religious obligations while the smallest from the time-volunteered. The study was launched at Islamabad in November 2019 and the event was graced by President of Pakistan. In February 2020, the study was also launched at the House of Commons in the UK as well as in Glasgow and Birmingham.

PCP, as a regular feature, has been conducting Corporate Philanthropy Surveys (CPSs). The survey report for this year revealed that Public Listed Companies (PLC)s donated PKR 9.07 billion in 2018, registering a 20 percent increase from the previous year, and a 40 times increase since the year 2000. The Survey also indicated that around 53 percent of the total PLCs reported philanthropic giving, and the volume of total donations increased despite a decrease in profit before Tax. As a special edition to the survey, corporate sector philanthropic contributions were mapped against various social development sectors that align with the Government’s anti-poverty Ehsaas programme.

PCP also participated in a regional study of 18 Asian countries called Doing Good Index (DGI). Based on the data collected by PCP, the study revealed that Pakistan’s ranking in giving has

improved from ‘Doing Okay’ in the previous report to the second best category, ‘Doing Better’, placing Pakistan among countries like Japan and Korea. Another partnership with Democracy Reporting International (DRI) culminated in the publishing of the Briefing Paper 101 that elaborates the strengths and challenges for the CSO sector.

COVID-19 positioned PCP’s Communication Unit to become more active on social media disseminating information about its services for certification and linking donors with its certified network. The unit produced few high-quality documentaries that helped organizations in showcasing their contributions in the development sector. Video editions of PCP magazine ‘Philanthropy Matters’ was another innovation by the unit highlighting the philanthropic nature of Pakistani society.

The revenue generated by PCP is used for its various programmatic activities. These include evaluation of CSOs, research studies, philanthropy support services and outreach activities. Against the total income of Rs.96.2 million earned during FY 2019-20, PCP spent Rs.70 m on programme activities, Rs.9.6 m on its operational & administrative expenses, and Rs.313,409 on management of its Endowment Fund, leading to a surplus of Rs.16.2m for the year. The major chunk of this surplus of Rs.15.6 m is attributable to the Endowment fund. The Board of Directors, on the advice of the Audit Committee, has recommended the appointment of A.F. Ferguson & Co. as auditors of Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy for FY 2020-21.

The Board of Directors and the management remained committed to the principles of best corporate management practices. The PCP Board has, over the years, been served by eminent personalities including former federal ministers and secretaries, philanthropists and corporate leaders. This has helped PCP mature into a vibrant organization with its own organizational culture and distinctive features. During the year, the Board met every quarter and provided guidance and direction to PCP's programmatic and policy initiatives. PCP’s success during the year, despite the pandemic, would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of its management and employees. The Board wishes to express its appreciation and confidence in the PCP team. The Board duly appreciates the support that has been rendered by PCP’s Certification Panel

PepsiCo and S&P Global

While the coronavirus has been wreaking havoc indiscriminately in all parts of the world, it has had a ten-fold impact on most under developed countries and their large populations, paralysing already tottering health and welfare systems. In Pakistan, the outbreak is believed to have caused an economic slowdown that amounts to a staggering loss of rupees 2.5 trillion, with about three million jobs likely to be lost at the very beginning. The worst affected out of the country's total population are the daily wage earners and those who inhabit the unforgiving urban slums.

In a bid to help the most affected segments of the population, PepsiCo and S&P Global, partnered with PCP and Give2Asia as part of their 'Millions of Meals' initiative to extend support for Pakistan's local charities that have been playing a key role in providing meals, medical assistance and other key services to low-income groups.

In her keynote speech, Dr. Sania Nishtar, Federal Minister/Special Assistant to the PM stressed upon the need for exploring innovative financing models and mechanisms for attainment of the SDGs as due to the shrinking fiscal space, the government alone could not make the necessary investments for realizing the SDGs.

Highlights of Certification Programme (2019-20)

A key activity of PCP is its certification programme which benefits Not-for-Profit Sectors including I-NGOs, NGOs, Universities, Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) and Local Support Organizations (LSOs). PCP certified organizations can use the standards set by PCP to build on and improve their operations. Certification has a direct impact on the overall capacity of the CSO since it urges them to comply to modern and effective governance, regulatory compliance, policy framework, taxation and financial management and programme delivery practices. Furthermore, only certified CSOs are entitled to receive income tax benefits hence, whenever a CSO applies for tax benefits from the Federal Board of Revenue, it needs to submit a certificate of good governance from PCP with respect to its declared mission and objectives.

Certification has been beneficial not only for CSOs but also other stakeholders such as the civil society, government and donors. Considering the quality and utility of PCP's performance evaluation report, various public and private agencies including NACTA have recognized PCP Certified organizations as ‘Credible’ ones.

Pakistani Diaspora in the United Kingdom Donate £ 1.25 Billion Annually – Study on Diaspora Philanthropy Launched in Pakistan

Dr. Arif Alvi, President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, in his speech at the launch of study on Diaspora Philanthropy, said that Pakistanis are one of the most generous people in the world. This research study was conducted by Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy in partnership with the British Council Pakistan. While expressing his views at the event, Dr. Alvi further said that philanthropy should move beyond charity and contribute towards building human and social capital: it should invest in education for enhancing social and economic opportunities for those who are less privileged, and in building organizations to address social deficit in the country.

Mr. Zaffar A. Khan, Chairman PCP Board of Directors, in his welcome and opening remarks said that it was heartening to find out that the diaspora philanthropy has huge potential, providing an additional funding stream to support Government’s agenda on social development in the country. The philanthropists need to be encouraged to focus more on the creation of social assets which could become instrumental in reducing poverty rather than simply providing temporary relief to the poor and the needy.

Speaking further on the occasion, Amir Ramzan, Country Director British Council Pakistan, said that the philanthropic work done by Pakistani diaspora in UK has led to several initiatives that resulted in providing support for research, education, social welfare, and cultural uplift.

While sharing the main findings of the study, Shazia Maqsood Amjad, Executive Director PCP, highlighted that the total estimate of philanthropic giving of Pakistani diaspora for causes-based in Pakistan and the UK amounts to £ 1.25 billion annually, including monetary and in-kind giving as well as time-volunteered. Total giving for Pakistan-based causes stood at £ 636 million (51 %), while £ 617 million (49%) were given for UK-based causes. Monetary donations have highest share estimated at £ 738 million, which is primarily driven by the religious obligation to give Zakat, whereas estimated value of time-volunteered has the smallest share in giving for Pakistan-based causes. Diaspora giving to Pakistan-based causes largely goes to education and health care, while giving to UK-based causes is mainly directed towards the needy and the disadvantaged. The report also provides recommendations for a more effective leveraging of donations from the Pakistani diaspora. This includes measures such as development of an online portal of Pakistani organizations, capacity building and registration of charities in the UK, and improving regulatory mechanisms to facilitate transactions through banking and other channels to redress issues of trust and transparency in utilizing funds.

Corporate Philanthropy Survey: 2018

The Pakistan Centre of Philanthropy with its mandate to produce research-based evidence on topics related to philanthropy provides quality information in areas focusing on philanthropic giving by corporate sector, individuals, Pakistani diaspora, and the Foundations. Corporate Philanthropy Survey (CPS) report is now an annual feature of PCP research programme, published since the year 2004-05.

The present survey estimates the volume of philanthropic spending and examines the trends, dimensions, and patterns of philanthropic giving by all three categories of companies selected in the sample. The survey report reveals that corporate giving is a potential resource that can be used to redress deficits in social development, and provides the basis for recognition of the contributions of corporate sector by holding Corporate Philanthropy Awards ceremony every year.

Corporate Giving

Busines Companies produce goods and services, create jobs, and pay taxes that are ultimately used for social welfare and development activities. However, with increased globalization and the emerging issues related to peace, human rights, environment and poverty alleviation, businesses are expected to play a greater role in treading the path of sustainable development. The magnitude and complexity of the challenges at hand require joint participation from all sectors of society.

The concept of corporate philanthropy has gone through a transformation in recent decades with companies working to incorporate philanthropy in their business models. This idea that businesses need to strive for greater good and social responsibility, apart from safeguarding interests of their shareholders, has long proliferated into developing countries including Pakistan.

Doing Good Index – 2020

As part of its global collaborations, PCP has partnered with the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPs), a Hong Kong based not-for-profit research institution, for the study named as Doing Good Index (DGI). This is a first-of-its-kind study to investigate and report on institutional infrastructure regarding philanthropic giving in 18 countries of the Asian region. It examines fiscal, cultural and social incentives to donate; the regulatory environment that can facilitate or hinder systematic social investments; factors that affect the establishment and operations of organizations that deliver services or products to address a societal need; and their ability to access funds. The first DGI report was published in 2018.

For DGI 2020, PCP collected data through an online questionnaire from more than 60 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) across the country during February to May 2019. Also, a meeting of experts from development sector was convened to get an in-depth understanding of the relevant questions related to the dynamics of philanthropic sector. Moreover, an ‘economy brief’ describing the contextual details of the country with regard to the environment for civil society sector was also drafted and submitted to CAPS.

DGI report was launched in June 2020. According to the report, Pakistan’s ranking improved to the second best ‘Doing Better’ category from ‘Doing Okay’ in the previous report, placed it among countries such as Japan and Korea. Singapore and Taiwan are the only two countries that are doing better than Pakistan.

Civil Society and Social Development in Pakistan: How the State can support its development through effective regulation?

Civil society in South Asia including the present-day Pakistan has a long tradition of participating in civic causes. Today, the country has a vibrant civil society sector that is engaged in various activities of social good ranging from health, education, environment, human rights, to poverty alleviation and relief operations at times of natural calamities. However, the nature and scale of work of these organizations have undergone a significant change over the years as a result of government’s interest to streamline the sector. Through such policy reforms, the government is particularly interested to achieve efficiency and effectiveness and to also safeguard against modern day risks such as money laundering and terror-financing. PCP collaborated with Democracy Reporting International (DRI) to publish a Briefing Paper 101 that elaborates the strengths as well as challenges for the CSO sector and presents a way-forward to create synergy between government and the civil society organizations.

PCP Communication and Outreach brings together important information on how to reach out to pre-determined target audience and some of the best philanthropy , charitable organizations, Government and civil society organizations and their communities. We aim to create successful community and not for profit outreach campaigns and reach out to local media to host philanthropy events and develop materials that reflect local philanthropy and inspire people to contribute more. Communication and Outreach disseminates information on the concepts, statistics and mechanics of philanthropy. For this purpose, a multi-pronged media strategy is used to advance discussion and awareness on philanthropy including regular updates on PCP website regarding global development as well as through e-mail alerts, news reports and the distribution of in-house publications at various forums.

NPOs’ Awareness on Anti Money Laundering / Counter Finance Terrorism

Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy, Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in collaboration with National Counter Terrorism Authority have been organizing awareness sessions on AML/CFT for the NPOs/NGOs across Pakistan. During the sessions, speakers highlighted the measures being undertaken with regard to Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations for compliance of NPOs in combating the vulnerabilities of the sector. Latest developments relating to laws and policy guidelines governing not-for-profits, especially in the backdrop of legislative and policy changes aimed at meeting FATF obligations, were discussed. Deliberations about the mandate and scope for counter terrorism efforts made by the NACTA & SECP, which included introduction to enabling provisions concerning AML / CFT in Companies Act 2017, new licensing regime in the form of Associations with Charitable and Not for Profit objects Regulations, 2018 and draft guidelines on prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing concerning NPOs, were also made. The participants were apprised about vulnerabilities of NPO sector, international best practices (FATF Recommendation 8), high risk indicators, obligations of the NPOs to have sound internal controls and new disclosure requirements aimed at detection and prevention of abuse of NPO assets for money laundering and terrorist financing. The participants were keen to learn the details of the compliance issues which the Government officials clarified and built understanding accordingly. The aspects of safer charities were also thoroughly discussed. Particpants’ understanding was assesed through pre and post assessments. It was learnt that they grasped the concepts and ideas shared during the awareness workshop.
