Tel: (92-51) 2276812, Fax: (92-51) 2276815 Email: [email protected] Acknowledgements The Steering Committee for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy would like to recognise the people and partnerships that have made both the Initiative and the Conference on Indigenous Philanthropy possible. As it seeks to encourage a shift in Pakistan from dependence on foreign aid to self- reliance, the Initiative has been fortunate to receive the enthusiastic support not only from within the country, but also from longstanding partners in development. Key donor partners have demonstrated their confidence in the aims of the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy. Both the Initiative and the Conference have been designed and funded through the Pakistan-Canada Social Institutions Development Programme, which is supported generously by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in partnership with Aga Khan Foundation Canada. In addition, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through a grant to the Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. under the Pakistan NGO Initiative, has assisted the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy with support for the NGO Resource Centre. In June 1998, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) convened what was to become the Steering Committee for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy. The AKDN is a group of private, non-denominational agencies working to improve living conditions and opportunities among disadvantaged populations, especially in Asia and Africa. Its agencies and institutions have individual mandates that range from health, education, rural development and the enhancement of non-governmental agencies, to architecture, culture and the promotion of private sector enterprise. Together they collaborate in working towards a common goal: building institutions and programs that can respond to the challenges of social, economic and cultural change. The Network's services are open to people of all faiths and origins. For over two years, these efforts to enhance indigenous social investment for national development have been supported by the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), a private, non-denominational agency of the AKDN that promotes sustainable and equitable social development in Asia and Africa, without regard to gender, origin, religion or political persuasion. AKF encourages initiatives in health, education, rural development, strengthening civil society and building human capacity. Foundation staff in Pakistan, Canada and Switzerland have provided ongoing intellectual, organisational and technical assistance to the Initiative and Conference on Indigenous Philanthropy. The Steering Committee wishes to recognise the AKF team responsible for the planning and implementation of the Conference on Indigenous Philanthropy. In Appreciation: The Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy The Steering Committee for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy would like to recognise the partnerships that have made both, the Initiative and the Conference on Indigenous Philanthropy possible. Aga Khan Foundation Jn June 1998, the Aga Khan Development Network convened what was to become the Steering Committee, for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy and challenged us to consider the ways and means of encouraging a shift from foreign aid dependency, to indigenous social investment and self-reliance. For over two years, our efforts have been supported by the Aga Khan Foundation, which has provided on-going intellectual, organisational and technical assistance. The Foundation's support for the Initiative builds upon AKF's own programmatic interests in strengthening civil society and building human capacity in Asia and Africa. Canadian International Agence canadienne de Development Agency developpement International Canada Key donor partners have also demonstrated their confidence in the aims of this Initiative. Both the Initiative and the Conference have been designed and funded through the Pakistan-Canada Social Institutions Development Programme, which is supported generously by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and Aga Khan Foundation Canada. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), through a grant to the Aga Khan Foundation U.S.A. under the Pakistan NGO Initiative, has assisted the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy with support for the NGO Resource Centre. In Appreciation Towards a Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy During the course of its explorations, the Steering Committee for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy found compelling evidence to suggest that Philanthropy in Pakistan could be greatly enhanced by a permanent institutional vehicle - a Centre for Philanthropy - to foster philanthropy as social investment. The recommendation that such a centre be established drew widespread and enthusiastic indigenous support prior to the Conference. At the time of the Conference, Rs 13.95 million from indigenous funding sources had already been forthcoming to support the operational expenditure for three years for such a centre. In addition the Aga Khan Foundation (Pakistan) will provide Rs 4 million as well as providing technical assistance in programme areas. The Steering Committee for the Initiative on Indigenous Philanthropy gratefully acknowledges the generosity and foresight of the following individuals and institutions in their contribution towards a proposed Centre for Philanthropy in Pakistan: • Babar Ali Foundation • Mr. Rafi Iqbal Ahmed, Packages Ltd. • Mr. M.I.

  • Social Entrepreneurship – Creating Value for the Society Dr
    Prabadevi M. N., International Journal of Advance Research, Ideas and Innovations in Technology. ISSN: 2454-132X Impact factor: 4.295 (Volume3, Issue2) Available online at www.ijariit.com Social Entrepreneurship – Creating Value for the Society Dr. M. N. Prabadevi SRM University [email protected] Abstract: Social entrepreneurship is the use of the techniques by start-up companies and other entrepreneurs to develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a variety of organizations with different sizes, aims, and beliefs. Social Entrepreneurship is the attempt to draw upon business techniques to find solutions to social problems. Conventional entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, but social entrepreneurs also take into account a positive return to society. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural, and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector. At times, profit also may be a consideration for certain companies or other social enterprises. Keywords: Social Entrepreneurship, Values, Society. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Defining social entrepreneurship Social entrepreneurship refers to the practice of combining innovation, resourcefulness, and opportunity to address critical social and environmental challenges. Social entrepreneurs focus on transforming systems and practices that are the root causes of poverty, marginalization, environmental deterioration and accompanying the loss of human dignity. In so doing, they may set up for-profit or not-for-profit organizations, and in either case, their primary objective is to create sustainable systems change. The key concepts of social entrepreneurship are innovation, market orientation and systems change. 1.2 Who are Social Entrepreneurs? A social entrepreneur is a society’s change agent: pioneer of innovations that benefit humanity Social entrepreneurs are drivers of change.

Parvez Rana, Hassan Askari, Z.A. Zulfi, Pappu Samrat, Syed Noor, Babar Butt, and literally everyone else I met in the film industry were welcoming and hospitable beyond what I ever could have hoped or imagined. The cast and crew of Sharabi, in particular, went above and beyond to facilitate my research and make sure I was at all times comfortable and safe and had answers to whatever stupid questions I was asking that day! Along with their kindness, I was privileged to witness their industry, creativity, and perseverance, and I will be eternally inspired by and grateful to them. My committee might seem large at seven members, but all of them have been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout my time in graduate school, and each of them have helped develop different dimensions of this work.

  • Paper on Cyber Law Presented at the 50Th Anniversary Celebrations of the Supreme Court of Pakistan International Judicial Conference 11-14 August, 2006
    Paper on Cyber Law Presented at the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the Supreme Court of Pakistan International Judicial Conference 11-14 August, 2006 Introduction Only a few years after the explosive advent of the internet on the global scene, Pakistan also became a part of what has become a truly global village. Every community ranging from students, academicians, businesses, the military, government to even the legal and judicial communities are now inextricably connected, networked and dependent on Cyberspace and the Internet. Cyberspace is a term that was coined by William Gibson in his 1984 novel "Neuromancer" and is now used to describe the entire spectrum of computer networks and associated activities that take place over computers and their interconnected networks which in their largest manifestation form the internet. This ‘virtual space’ has no national or jurisdictional boundaries since its ether resides in and interacts with the network of hundreds of thousands if not millions of computers and users at the same time. A legal problem The interconnectivity and the irrelevance of geographical borders can be demonstrated where a person sitting in Karachi may be using an email service in the US from which to agree to the purchase of property in Spain that is owned by a UK business which hosts its website in Ireland. It may be that any one or all of these elements, persons, computers or actions are not in any one geographical location and they may exist or take place in multiple locations at the same time with no discernible priority. Lawrence Lessing identifies this as a problem for the traditional legal rules resulting from the unique nature of the internet and Cyberspace in “The Law of Cyberspace”: "The problem for law is to work out how the norms of the two communities are to apply given that the subject to whom they apply may be in both places at once" Traditionally, the rules of Conflict of Laws and rules for jurisdiction have been used to regulate the cross-border interaction between parties.

    NCtONGOVERNMENTALORGANIZATION ALTERNATIVES AND FRESH INITIATIVESIN EXTENSION The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme Experience Shoaib Sultan Khan* In the backdrop of the Ethiopiancrisis a few years ago, the London Economisthad sounded a note of warning to the advocatesof nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs) taking over countrywide implementationof emergencyaid and developmentprograms and had instead urged efforts at persuading governmentsto act like NGOs. The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP)is an experiment in demonstratinghow governmentscan launch countrysidedevelopment and extension programs in an effective and equitableway. ConceptualPackage As against the traditionalapproach of having an army of extensionworkers for delivery of services, AKRSP relies on fosteringrural cadres of extensionworkers from within the beneficiariesto undertakethe job. However, there are certain prerequisitesthat have to be put in place before the poor of the world can be helped. The most importantrequirement is fostering a frameworkof grassroots institutions.Institution building thus becomes the sine quo non for all future developmental and extension activities.

  • Defining Shariʿa the Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib
    Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review By Shoaib A. Ghias A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Martin M. Shapiro Professor Asad Q. Ahmed Summer 2015 Defining Shariʿa The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review © 2015 By Shoaib A. Ghias Abstract Defining Shariʿa: The Politics of Islamic Judicial Review by Shoaib A. Ghias Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Since the Islamic resurgence of the 1970s, many Muslim postcolonial countries have established and empowered constitutional courts to declare laws conflicting with shariʿa as unconstitutional. The central question explored in this dissertation is whether and to what extent constitutional doctrine developed in shariʿa review is contingent on the ruling regime or represents lasting trends in interpretations of shariʿa. Using the case of Pakistan, this dissertation contends that the long-term discursive trends in shariʿa are determined in the religio-political space and only reflected in state law through the interaction of shariʿa politics, regime politics, and judicial politics. The research is based on materials gathered during fieldwork in Pakistan and datasets of Federal Shariat Court and Supreme Court cases and judges. In particular, the dissertation offers a political-institutional framework to study shariʿa review in a British postcolonial court system through exploring the role of professional and scholar judges, the discretion of the chief justice, the system of judicial appointments and tenure, and the political structure of appeal that combine to make courts agents of the political regime.
