Introdu
uction of PPAF
As one of the larg gest sources of pro-poo spending in the cou
or g untry, the PPakistan Po
overty
Alleviation Fund (PP PAF) is the lead agency for poverty reduction in Pakistan. It embodie the
y y . es
spirit of public-priva partnersh to addre the mult
ate hip ess ti-dimension issues of poverty w a
nal with
view to achieving social a
o g and econom mic change
e.
Being a c community-l demand
led, d-driven instiitution, PPA
AF
focuses o partnersh
on hips which are non-pre escriptive an
nd
model-ne eutral but vaalue-driven. The essenc of PPAF’s
ce
work is t support an strengthen institutions for the poo
to nd n or
(partner organization in devel
ns) loping instit
tutions of th
he
poor that are well go
t overned, tran nsparent, demmocratic, an
nd
accounta able. PPAF’s experience of over a de
s ecade leads uus
to concl lude that lo ocal, indigen nous, comm munity base ed
institutions are a pre--requisite for spending o the poor t
on to
be effect tive leading to positive developme outcomes.
e ent
At a wi ider level, it is critic to cinch ownership
cal h p,
commitm ment, and parrticipation fr
rom diverse stake-holder
rs
for poveerty reductio efforts to be succes
on o ssful over t long-term To that end, PPAF has
the m. F
endeavor to crow
red wd-in partne erships (both financial and non-fin
h nancial) wit public se
th ector,
private se
ector, and ci society organization at internat
ivil ns tional, natio
onal, and sub evels.

The uniq role of PPAF, theref
que P fore, goes b
beyond mere financing o civil socie organiza
