With UNDP, UNOPS and the Election Commission of Pakistan we have run voter education programmes and trained presiding and polling officers in Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Chakwal, Attock, Mandi Bahauddin and Islamabad.
Locally, we promote community-based governance: village and neighbourhood organisations that plan and monitor their own development, include women in decisions and hold local institutions to account.
We also take part in district forums — such as the District Nutrition Addressing Committee — and sit on the advisory board of the District Health Department in Rawalpindi. Through networks, research and advocacy we push for the rights of marginalised groups to be protected at provincial and national level.
