Sep 2015 7 Contents Dear Readers,

As I step down during this fteenth year of my term as Chairman of the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy, I reect with considerable satisfaction and some pride the remarkable achievements of PCP. While it has been my honour and privilege to have served this organisation, the credit for PCP’s achievements must go to the collective eorts of the Board of Directors, the four Executive Directors and the creative and loyal sta members who supported me and gave me wise counsel during the course of my tenure as Chair.

Seventeen years ago, on the initiative of His Highness, the Aga Khan, some eminent citizens along with leaders of civil society and the corporate world worked for over two years to determine what could be done to enhance the volume and eectiveness of philanthropy in our country. Their eorts were rewarded when in 2000, their recommendations were adopted by a seminal international conference in Islamabad. The conference supported the concept of

institutionalising the promotion of philanthropy by the establishment of the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy. The objective of the Centre, they con rmed, would be to reignite the innate philanthropic instinct of our people and channel it not only towards relief, but also investment in social assets that could help alleviate poverty and supplement government eorts. And today, as I look back on the record of our achievements, we can all take genuine satisfaction from the Tribute way this organisation has served to strengthen civil society and the people of Pakistan. While these accomplishments are signi cant, they do remind us of how much there still remains to be done.

One of my pleasant duties as I retire from the Chairmanship is to introduce the rst bi-annual newsleer of PCP starting this year. This work represents key milestones in the short history of 8 PCP. Through continued faith in the core principles and objectives of PCP, we were the rst NPO to start a unique programme of Certi cation to bring credibility to our civil society organisations and thereby help reduce the de cit of trust that exists between them and the donors who support them. The Government of Pakistan appraised this programme in 2003, following which PCP was designated as the only CSO certi cation agency authorised to evaluate Sep 2015 CSOs seeking tax exemption and other scal bene ts. Today, we have a databank of 364 credible, certi ed CSOs across Pakistan that deliver much needed services, often at a very low cost, in variety of socio-economic sectors. Additionally, in line with its mission to promote philanthropy, since 2006, PCP has recognised the philanthropic eorts of the corporate sector by conducting an annual Corporate Philanthropy Survey to document giving by listed corporations. Each year, these studies recognise the top twenty ve giving companies by volume of donations and the percentage of pro t before tax. These companies are duly recognised through presentation of awards at the Annual Corporate Philanthropy Awards ceremony presided over by senior dignitaries including the President, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. Today, listed corporations in Pakistan give an average of 0.8% of their pro ts before tax towards philanthropic causes, a gure well above the average in industrialised countries.

While saluting the generous philanthropists of Pakistan and the CSOs which toil each day to reduce the burden of poverty, disease and ignorance, I take this opportunity to acknowledge the enormous support of our donors: the Aga Khan Foundation, Asian Development Bank, World Bank, USAID and UK-AID as well as the corporate and individual contributors of 2014: Sapphire Group, Jubilee General Insurance Company, Arif Habib Corp, Crescent Steel & Allied Products, Standard Chartered Bank, Lucky Cement, Soneri Bank Ltd., Packages Ltd., AKF USA & Pakistan and TCS Express Logistics. Without their support, none of this would have been possible for an institution which hardly receives government funding, despite the role it plays to supplement the role of the state in such maers as certi cation of CSOs.

I must pay a huge tribute to the Board of Directors for their wisdom and support for guiding the Centre, often through uncharted territory. I am particularly happy to welcome the incoming Chairman of the Board, Mr. Zaar A Khan, a distinguished corporate leader and a dedicated social worker, who has been a great pillar of support for me and the PCP during his tenure as Vice Chairman and as a long standing member of the Board. I especially welcome the new Executive Director, Mrs. Shazia Maqsood Amjad, who succeeds Mr. Tanwir Ali Agha. PCP is fortunate to have the commitment of these accomplished professionals. I must acknowledge the dedication and loyalty of our ocers and sta who deserve my highest tribute for their role in the success Tribute of the Centre.

Finally, looking to the future, I have enormous con dence in PCP’s potential to support the growth of a vibrant, constructive civil society, without which no country can transit to higher levels of development. The Centre has built a solid foundation on which to implement its Five Year Strategy adopted recently by the Board. There is every reason to believe it will set new 9 benchmarks in enhancing philanthropy and promoting a healthy civil society. Our success in developing this institute has opened up enormous possibilities to advance Pakistan’s social sector development and poverty reduction with the greatest motivation of serving the people of our country.

Ex-Chairman PCP VISION COMMITMENT PASSION ENTERPRISE A TRIBUTE TO DR. SHAMSH KASSIM-LAKHA H.I., S.I. 15 years of Excellence of Dr. Shamsh Kassim-Lakha H.I., S.I. in PCP

"We have to ignite the spark into a great flame and enhance the quality and quantity of our philanthropy"- Dr. Shamsh Kassim- Lakha

Dr. Shamsh Kassim-Lakha has provided fifteen years of visionary guidance to Pakistan Centre of Philanthropy since its inception in 2001. Being the driving force behind the establishment of an institutionalised platform for Philanthropy in Pakistan, he laid the foundation of this institute with an added responsibility of the leadership role. Tribute An acclaimed leader in Academia, Industry and the Government achieving ambitious growth targets with huge socio economic impact on society since the beginning of his remarkable career. Dr. Shamsh Kassim- Lakha is a globally recognised reformist, facing myriad challenges in education and health sector in the developing countries. He is committed to the well-being of the people of Pakistan by providing continuous service in improving the standards of education and health care. He started his journey with the enlightening vision of 12 establishing Aga Khan University and led the planning, construction and operation of the institute in Pakistan, East Africa, Afghanistan and the UK for over three decades. With the successful establishment of AKU, Dr. Lakha became the torchbearer and pioneer in bringing new perspectives to the delivery of higher education.

A thinker, innovator and a humanitarian, Dr. Lakha has a successful record of spearheading a

Sep 2015 3 Tribute A strategic approach for organising philanthropy was developed and took shape in the form of a series of surveys, researches, focus groups and meetings. The results were compiled and the study came up with incredible figures; in 1998, the aggregate total of giving in Pakistan was Rs. 70 billion, of which two-thirds was in the form of material resources and one-third through volunteered time. The next big challenge was to inquire the mechanism through which this generosity can be captured. As Dr. Lakha said "We have to ignite the spark into a great flame and enhance the quality and quantity of our philanthropy". As a result, Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy came into being as a permanent vehicle to enhance the volume and effectiveness of philanthropy in Pakistan.

The establishment of PCP is a laudable initiative taken by Dr. Lakha with the sole objective of effectively channelising philanthropic giving and bridging the gap between grant-makers

and grant-seekers. Dr. Lakha while representing PCP at an international forum said, "Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy has a mandate to enhance the volume 14 and effectiveness of philanthropy in the country. To date, PCP has played a significant role in promoting philanthropy, advocating for an enabling environment, overcoming the trust deficit in CSOs through its evaluation and certification programme, and by generating knowledge in the area of its core mandate". Therefore, he laid the foundation of three departments at PCP called Certification, Research and Philanthropy Support Services to achieve this mandate by Sep 2015 making strategic contributions. started a unique programme called programme unique a started filter out "the good" from among the organisations seeking support.

Ms.Swaleha Alam Shahzada Executive Director of CAP

The Citizens Archive of Pakistan

The Citizens Archive of Pakistan (CAP) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to cultural and historic preservation operating in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. CAP seeks to educate the community, foster an awareness of our nation's history, and instill pride in Pakistani citizens about their heritage. CAP has focused its attention on the tradition of oral storytelling in Pakistan, emphasising the importance of such narratives in a dialogue on national identity.

The Oral History Project (OHP), Outreach Tour Programme (OTP) and Exchange for Change (EFC) are the major projects of CAP among many others.

1. How was your experience of Certification with PCP? Do you think the in-depth Certification procedure benefited your organisation? Our first certification process was a great learning experience because at the time, CAP had barely three years of operations. The certification encouraged us to create and implement robust policies and procedures, while the interaction with the PCP team and following their suggestions helped CAP grow and achieve greater stability. Thus, the second round of certification was much smoother and helpful in directing the organisation’s attention towards finer details. Certification

2. What do you think are the challenges in the selection of CSOs as credible partners? This is a huge challenge for CAP as there are no other non-profits in Pakistan doing similar work. Thus, we do not have an industry example to learn from or partner with. When looking at new partnerships in Pakistan with other CSOs, we do consider core business, sources of 32 funding and certifications, but it is always a challenging process.

3. Any suggestions for PCP Certification system? The PCP certification process is especially helpful for nascent non-profits, as it enables them to implement structures that allow for growth in future, but we hope to see the PCP play a greater Sep 2015 role that would assist non-profits to access development grants and endowments that are desperately needed for expansion and institutional growth.

Dr. Faisal Sultan CEO of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital

Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre (SKMCH & RC) is a state-of-the-art cancer centre in Pakistan that has been providing free treatment facilitates to over 75% of its patients for the last two decades.

The Hospital is a project of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust which has a footprint in 44 cities of Pakistan.

1. How was your experience of Certification with PCP? Do you think the in-depth Certification procedure benefited your organisation? With such a wide footprint in the country and construction of another Mega-Hospital in Peshawar, one of the biggest challenges that the institution faces today is to ensure the highest quality services in all its projects. An independent evaluation of the system gave us access to some of the best practices prevalent at the time. Hence, Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy is a means to help improve our systems and the quality of service. The PCP Certification involves a comprehensive evaluation of the organisation’s structure, finances, systems, procedures, processes and programmes in line with standardised parameters. Certification 2. Any message to the CSOs in Pakistan? Any CSO aspiring to institutionalise and hardwire best practices as a part of the long term sustainability of their project, should most certainly participate in the certification of PCP. Obtaining recognition by third parties reaffirms the faith of donors and supporters in the credibility of the CSOs which is vital for growth. 33

3. Any suggestions for PCP Certification system? While the PCP certification process provides benchmarks of the industry, it also needs to take into consideration unique circumstances of individual organisations and allow for some

flexibility at times. Sep 2015 PCP Adds Value Mr. Azhar Saleem CEO of Human Development Foundation

Human Development Foundation Pakistan was created in 1999 and was registered under Section 48 of Companies Ordinance 1984. Aligned with the MDGs, HDF follows a holistic approach of integrated programmes comprising social mobilisation, education, health, economic development and sustainable environment. The total number of beneficiaries in the foundation’s primary and secondary service areas exceed over one million. 1. How was your experience of Certification with PCP? Do you think the in-depth Certification procedure benefited your organisation? By now, HDF has gone through PCP Certification process for two consecutive times. The certification attained was instrumental in enhancement of organisation's credibility and it definitely became better known among the greater number of players in the development arena, including the donors. The biggest advantage was attainment of non-profit status under Section 2(36) of Income Tax Ordinance 2001 that formed the basis of relevant tax exemptions.

2. What do you think are the challenges in the selection of CSOs as credible partners?

Certification When you find PCP-certified organisations among the list of contenders, the process of short listing and selection becomes easier knowing that their capacity in the areas of governance, programme implementation and ability of administrative and financial management has already been built up and tested in the process of certification.

3. Any suggestions for PCP Certification system? 34 PCP certification is a great programme benefiting the development sector. The only suggestion that we would like to render is that for younger organisations with smaller structure and capacity aspiring to get PCP certification, PCP may facilitate the process by designing a capacity building programme utilising the services of well established and already certified

Sep 2015 organisations. This will not only speed up the process of quality capacity building leading to their certification, but will also create a network of well bonded organisations. Mrs. Shazia Maqsood Amjad ( Executive Director, PCP) and Mr. Abdul Malik ( General Manager, AKRSP) in an agreement for Assessment of Local Support Organisations (LSOs) on March 06, 2015 PCP Pilots LSO Assessment in Gilgit Baltistan

An agreement was signed between PCP & Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) in August 2013 to develop a Local Support Organisation (LSO) assessment tool to strengthen LSOs' systems and to identify weak areas. Certification

The tool was developed and piloted on 7 LSOs from Gilgit Baltistan, KPK and AJK in May 2014. Now that the assessment tool has been finalised, Mrs. Shazia Maqsood Amjad, Executive Director PCP, and Mr. Abdul Malik, GM AKRSP, have signed an MoU on 6th of March, 2015 to formally initiate LSOs' assessment of AKRSP partners in the areas of Gilgit and Baltistan. 35 In April 2015, a four day training was conducted in Gilgit to coach selected Field Evaluation Officers (FEOs) for objective based assessments of LSOs, and to understand the LSO tool.
