USAID PROGRAM: Pakistan
PROGRAM TITLE: Democracy and Good Governance (Pillar: Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance)
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: Pakistan Democracy and Governance Program, 391-004
STATUS: Continuing
PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $2,000,000 ESF
PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $6,000,000 DA
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2001 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2003Summary: USAID’s democracy program in Pakistan will work with civil society organizations and political parties, and will focus on three activities to strengthen these institutions—
- fostering new leadership within issue-based civil society organizations and political parties;
- fostering the creation of new fora in which civil society, political leaders, and local civil administration authorities can discuss and reach consensus on priority development issues; and
- improving the capacity to carry out research and analyses designed to inform decision-makers, lawmakers and civil society leaders on the state of political change in Pakistan.
Inputs, Outputs, and Activities: USAID proposes first to improve and sharpen civil society’s analyses of the political economy of Pakistan and second, to use that analysis to target more strategically the programs proposed and implemented by the primary civil society actors, including NGOs, civic organizations, think tanks, polling companies, universities, and the press.
USAID proposes to strengthen the political party process by identifying midlevel party officials who desire to reform their organization’s direction and policies to foster greater accountability. Assuming that such potential reformers exist, USAID would provide assistance aimed at re-shaping the parties to make them, and the governments they form, more accountable, working directly with them on party organization, message development, and constituency building. Assistance would be available to all parties and to all members of parties, but the program would encourage particularly those who want reform.
