Executive Summary

In developing Countries where the governments are often unable (or unwilling) to provide even basic necessities to the People, not-for-profit organizations have been playing a vital role, in bridging the ever growing gap of providing basic social services in Pakistan.

We have above 45 thousand NGOs serving in Pakistan. Numerous local, regional and international NGOs have political aspects, have played essential role in our society. Objectives of NGOs are usually to pursue wider social aims that have political aspects.

The report addresses the common problem faced by most of NGOs and that is to assure viability of their operations. Inconsistent availability of funds to run the organization on long-term basis has always been challenging for most of not-for-profit organizations. Sustainability of funds is a crucial for every NGO to perform consistently on their vision. Recent study indicates that more than 3000 NGOs are working within Pakistan. Many of them are funded by foreign agencies while others are funded by local institutions and individual donors within Pakistan.

The report can never be completed without highlighting the role of existing philanthropic forums working jointly for advancement of not-for-profit industry with examples of relevant institutions. Quoted by a study it highlights four categorical roles of a responsible government that can bring in a positive change in sustaining the hope.

The report draws attention towards several parameters of funds for these NGOs.
