Very good information shared. It helps CSOs in different countries to better understand the issues in different context and engage their governments whiles proposing alternatives that worked well in other countries.
Very informative, the global partners, donors, and our govt should also take initiative to start these activities in the remote rural areas of Pakistan as well.
