5 Coupled with regional and local political turmoil, Pakistan continued its economic down turn in 2012, pushing a growing number of the population below the poverty line and highlighting the importance of philanthropic giving. When the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) was established in 2001, two factors were seen as important imperatives by its founders. They were an enabling policy and administrative environment and a legal framework that facilitated citizen-led efforts to tap philanthropic resources. Eleven years later, it is gratifying for us at the PCP to note that despite the extremely challenging economic environment, there has over these years been an enormous increase in philanthropic giving by the generous Pakistani society. On the other hand, philanthropy still needs to be recognized by policy makers as a vast untapped resource for socio-economic development. The Centre therefore acknowledges the need for greater engagement with relevant decision makers on this subject. The key driving force for the impressive level of giving is the generosity that characterizes the Pakistani ethos. In the fight for alleviation of poverty, there are countless heroes. If the battle against deprivation and inequity is won, then victory in the war against terror will not be far off. It is important to understand the nexus between these two wars and how they reinforce each other. The importance of philanthropy and civil society becomes increasingly important given the Government's fiscal and institutional constraints, which are not likely to be reduced anytime soon. And this is what PCP is all about: strengthening partnerships between Government, grant makers and CSOs within an enabling environment, embedded in knowledge and trust. On behalf of the Board of Directors I acknowledge with gratitude, the generous financial support PCP has received from the Government, the corporate sector and individual contributors, as well as from all those donors who supported PCP's Research, Certification and Philanthropy Support Services programmes. I am particularly happy to acknowledge the Board's close involvement with the Centre's programmes and the insight and guidance provided through its specialized committees for enhanced performance. Considering the maturity of the Centre and the growing effectiveness of its programmes, the Board was restructured in conjunction with its current needs. Consequently, this year the size of the Board was reduced from 21 to 15 members. Concurrently, an Advisory Council of distinguished civil society members, including the retiring Directors, will be operationalized in 2013 to advise and support the PCP in fulfilling its mission. I extend my appreciation to the Directors and especially the retiring members of the Board who have made such powerful contributions to the conceptualization of PCP and securing its institutional foundations. Finally, while the PCP continues to promote strategies to enhance the volume and effectiveness of giving it seeks sustained support of our well wishers for delivering on our mandate and contributing substantively to the philanthropy movement, providing relief and faith to the marginalized of our society. Dr. Shamsh Kassim-Lakha, H.I., S.I. Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy Directors Report

6 The Board of Directors Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) is pleased to present its report together with the audited financial statements for the year ending The PCP has now entered its thirteenth year of operations; PCP governance structure has served it well since its inception in Considering the maturity of the institution, the Board concluded that time was right for restructuring it in keeping with its current needs. The size of the Board was reduced from 21 to a more compact body of 15 members who could devote adequate time to the institution's policy making and oversight through its Committees. The 15 member compact Board has served the needs of the Centre well. The Board met regularly every quarter and provided guidance to the institution's policy making and oversight, directly and through its Committees. The Board wishes to place its deepest appreciation for the commitment and contribution of Dr. Adil Najam, who has stepped down from the PCP Board due to change in leadership at Lahore University of Management Science (LUMS). The Centre is pleased to announce the induction of Dr. Sohail H. Naqvi, Vice Chancellor LUMS, who has replaced Dr. Adil Najam on the Board. PCP is fortunate to have Dr. Naqvi on its Board. PCP, since its inception, has established a niche for itself, and earned the recognition of its many stakeholders. We continue to strive for deepening and broadening our work related to the enhancement and effectiveness of philanthropy in the social sectors. However, in pursuance of its unique mandate it faces many challenges; primarily, to upscale its impact through linkages with the principal stakeholders, philanthropists/grant makers, Government and civil society. Looking ahead, the Directors seek to enhance PCP's impact through the Philanthropy Networks consisting of philanthropists and civil society organizations. Our strategic objective in 2014 and for the next three years, is to facilitate a national partnership between all stakeholders, dedicated to social sector development and poverty alleviation through philanthropy. To facilitate and sustain this partnership, it is crucial that it be embedded in knowledge, trust and a conducive enabling environment. This is where our efforts and energies will be focused. Another key challenge is to ensure financial sustainability in a manner that is consistent with PCP's role as an independent support organization for its many stakeholders. In meeting these challenges and goals, the PCP adheres to its Second 5-Year Strategic Plan for , which serves as a road map for scaling up the Centre's activities to a higher level and advancing the founders vision of strategically channelizing philanthropy to supplement the Government's efforts for social development of the country. I am pleased to say that PCP has continued to play an important role as the lead support organization for the promotion and effectiveness of philanthropy and civil society for social development in Pakistan. This issue has become increasingly important given the magnitude of the social sector deficit and Government's fiscal and institutional constraints. Pakistan's continued low ranking on the HDI over the years, underlines the gravity of the situation and the urgency with which we must all act. Failure is not an option, for the stability of society itself is at stake. The silver lining is the generosity of the people of Pakistan, and that this generosity continues unabated, despite the challenging environment. The ingredients for such a partnership exist: a philanthropic society, a vast network of CSOs, the Government's and grant makers' acceptance of the role of civil society. In 2013 PCP was actively engaged with the government in the policy dialogue on regulations related to CSOs under the proposed Foreign Contribution Bill 2014 and other regulations. At their invitation, PCP worked closely with the Economic Affairs Division and the SECP in this regard. These engagements have enabled PCP to meet its important objective of helping to create an enabling, administrative and fiscal environment for philanthropists and civil society. This has been our constant theme in dialogues with government. It is also heartening that with every passing year PCP's role and its programmes of research, certification and philanthropy support services are being increasingly valued, at both the national and international levels. Certification continues to be the Centre's flagship programme, fostering an environment of trust and credibility. As of 31st December 2013, the number of certified organizations had increased to 306 from 236 in The number of applications and evaluations continue to grow. We expect around 150 organizations will be evaluated during Over the years, the Certification program has helped reduce the trust deficit between grant makers and grant seekers and in building institutional capacities of various CSOs. Evaluation is a growing need, and not just restricted to CSOs. Community Based Organizations (CBOs) / Local Support Organizations (LSOs), are playing an increasingly important role in community lead social sector development. PCP's existing certification model is not suited to CBOs and LSOs, given the nature of their activities and their governance and management structures. Since CBOs/LSOs have indicated their desire to be brought within an evaluation framework, in partnership with the AKRSP, PCP is developing an evaluation framework and tool that respond to their special needs. As with the regular certification program for CSOs, evaluation of LSOs will also be voluntary. With the change brought about in the Finance Act of 2013, universities and degree granting institutions, run by NPOs are also required to be evaluated and certified either by the PCP or the Income Tax authorities. The On the request of International Organization for Migration (IOM), PCP evaluated CSOs working in South Punjab, to assist IOM in selecting partners and also conducted capacity building sessions for the partner CSOs of IOM in specific themes. PCP will continue to support the strengthening of civil society through better governance, financial management and program delivery. We will work through CSO networks to reinforce the impact of PCP's work. In addition an Association of Certified CSOs will be setup. Research continues to be a priority for PCP. Our strategic objective is to use knowledge for creating awareness and providing basis for sound policies. The 2013 survey on Corporate Philanthropy in Pakistan re-enforces the existence of tremendous potential for philanthropic giving in the corporate sector of Pakistan. Giving by Public Listed Companies (PLCs) increased from PKR 3.8 billion in 2011 to PKR 4.1 billion in 2012, an 8% increase. Donations as percentage of Profit Before Tax (PBT) for 2012 have remained unchanged at 0.7%. Over the years, corporate philanthropy, reported by PLCs, has PCP is currently in the process of assessing the increased from PKR 228 million in 2000 to PKR 4.1 impact of this latest requirement. billion in 2012, an approximately eighteen-fold increase.

Our Vision Mission and Goals As an essential component of its drive to achieve financial sustainability, the Directors continue to seek contributions to PCP's endowment fund. In 2013, PCP received a grant of Rs. 10 million from the Habib Bank Limited Foundation. The Endowment Fund is now Rs million, up from Rs million on the 31st December 2012 ( 2011: Rs m). Rs. 40 million was contributed by the Government and Rs million by the private sector. Under PCP's 5 year strategic plan, our target is to raise the endowment fund to Rs. 500 million. This is an ambitious target but essential for financial sustainability of the Centre's core activities. In addition the Directors raised Rs million for the National Study on Individual Indigenous Philanthropy in Pakistan towards a total goal of Rs 25 million. We deeply appreciate this support and thank our donors for the trust reposed in PCP and its work. Dr. Shamsh Kassim Lakha, H.I., S.I Chairman, Board of Directors 09 10

Facilitating linkages between corporate philanthropists, citizen organizations and government for increased social investment.

9 The Centre was established as a result of research on philanthropy and remains the sole niche institute for philanthropic studies in Pakistan. Its primary goal is to produce evidence-based research to determine and promote the volume, motivation and effectiveness of individual indigenous philanthropy. The Centre works on the firm belief that policies and actions based on sound research lead to effective and positive outcomes for country's development. This philosophy has guided the PCP Research Unit to complete a number of studies on various aspects of philanthropy that provide useful information on various forms of philanthropic activities that can be used to take strategic direction for social development of the country. The culture of philanthropy and charitable giving is influenced by social, moral and religious underpinnings and Pakistan has been recognized as a generous and giving nation, especially during disasters and catastrophes. According to World Giving Index 2013, Charities Aid Foundation, Pakistan ranked 53rd out of 135 countries in the world and ranked 3rd among SAARC countries. In 13 order to utilize this indigenous wealth, in-depth knowledge of this multi-dimensional phenomenon is important in enhancing understanding of the patterns and behavior of philanthropic activities, especially in terms of who do people give to, how much do they give, how is it used, and what are the challenges and barriers the givers face? Answers to these questions would provide the basis for informed policies and strategies useful for building social and human capital for development. Key Findings of Corporate Philanthropy Survey 79% of total giving, an increase of 5% from the 2012: preceding year. The donations of the top 25 ULCs amounted for 80% of total giving by ULCs. 1.

Individual Indigenous Philanthropy in Sindh The final study is expected to be launched in August, As part of its mission to enhance the volume and effectiveness of philanthropy in Pakistan, PCP Nation-wide Study on Individual Indigenous planned to initiate a National Study on Individual Philanthropy Indigenous Philanthropy (NIIP). This idea generated as a result of a study conducted earlier by John Building on the Individual Indigenous Philanthropy Hopkins University and the Aga Khan Development study in Sindh, the Centre has started a nation-wide Network (AKDN) in 1998/99 which determined NIIP study of the same nature with the support of philanthropy as a source of immense resource pool various Corporate Donors.

However, some led growth for community advancement. other potential areas need to be explored through other independent studies. PCP plans to carry out research on some other facets of philanthropic activities to facilitate informed decision making for all stakeholders. Some of the studies planned for future research are: Research Team conducting a Focus Group Discussion Concurrently, the research will also help to develop partnerships among all stakeholders and identify ways to facilitate productive equations. Additionally, the study will provide reliable and updated data on various forms of giving to examine trends and patterns that would provide policy guidelines for effective utilization and channelization of individual indigenous philanthropy for social development in Pakistan. In the first phase, a study was carried out in Sindh province sponsored by the Community Development Program (CDP), Government of Sindh. The initial draft of the report is complete and has been circulated among relevant stakeholders for review.

Public Private Partnerships (3Ps) for Education Linking the government education outlets, corporate philanthropists and civil society organizations Philanthropy Support Services Facilitating Philanthropists and Implementers 15 The results of philanthropy are always beyond calculation Miriam Beard PCP has been facilitating Public Private Partnerships (3Ps) for school improvement in rural communities of Sindh since June Recently, PCP has partnered with UKaid, from the Department for International Development (DFID) to implement an innovative public private partnership education programme in the province of Sindh under 'Ilm Ideas' Education Innovation Fund. The programme has been set to support achieving the Millennium Development Goal for Education (MDG-2) while focusing the marginalized communities and under-served areas of the Sindh province and work for the development of public primary and middle schools in partnership with individual and corporate philanthropists and CSOs. Under this programme, just in 2013, the corporate donors have adopted 25 schools and provided financial aid/assistance for these schools to help completing their missing facilities, making additional enrolments (both girls and boys), training the teachers and school supervisors, re-activating the school management committees (SMCs), training the members of these SMCs for active involvement in the progress of adopted schools and arranging for the supply of new education materials for students in adopted schools. Strong contributions have been made by the civil society in the under-privileged parts of Sindh and it proved very supportive for the service delivery and execution of this partnership programme. Sensitization of the community has greatly contributed in mobilizing girl child enrolment amongst most difficult cultural and economic realities in Deherki and the Katcha area of flood zones in Ghotki which itself is unmatched example of extremely successful efforts by the programme sponsors and implementers. 16

PCP is pleased to report that under Ilm Ideas project, PCP has been successful in catalyzing corporate philanthropy for education worth at PKR 15 Million. Schools Adopted Children Benefitted Teachers Trained Community Members Trained Story of our visit to Kachha By PCP TeamThe Katcha Area of district Ghotki is a riverine belt flanking river Indus and suffers heavy devastation each time the Sindh province is hit with floods. The Katcha Area is also known as the FATA of Sindh, since almost no government intervention/or involvement exists in the area, which is a huge hurdle against any kind of socio-economic development for the people of this area. And the misery just doesn't end here The Katcha Area has, since many decades, served as a safe haven for terrorist, dacoits, kidnappers and other outlaws due to its inaccessibility to the outer world. The marginalized community thus portrays a dismal image of poverty, neglect, crime and simply unawareness towards most things which could bring a positive change in their lives. Million PKR Corporate Philanthropy Today, the 12th of June, 2013, our team visited a school named GPS Ali Akbar Chacharh located in a small village in the Katcha Area. This school is one of the eleven flood affected schools, supported by The Engro Foundation. The purpose of my visit was to conduct a number of field activities under the Public Private Partnership signed between the Engro Foundation and PCP (under its 3Ps for education Programme Ilm Ideas) for the adoption of these schools. Engagement with the local community forms a major task among other activities conducted by PCP for each school, purpose being mobilization of the community for school support and enrollment of their children in the adopted schools. What makes today's visit unique is the fact that while conducting sessions with the community, we found ourself in the presence of at least outlaws: individuals who were directly/indirectly involved in major crimes across Sindh and were currently inhiding from the army, police and other law enforcement agencies. Almost were those dacoits, kidnappers and criminals who have a 6 to 8 million bounties on their head, announced by the government. Although we had little (to no) reason to be scared for our own lives(because of the pre-gathered local support we were carrying with us), yet it was truly a new experience to be addressing an audience which had shown no respect towards law, society or even religion at times due to their criminal behavior. As discussions progressed, we realized to our utter amazement, that those same outlaws were showing interest in educating their young. Their newfound feelings towards imparting education to their new generation showed an overwhelming zeal to get out of this miserable existence and give their children a chance to live an honorable life, as proud citizens of the country. Give2Asia Give2Asia (G2A) was founded in 2001 by The Asia Foundation to serve as a funding channel for Diaspora philanthropy from the United States of America to many Asian countries. Give2Asia (G2A) and PCP have a history of collaboration since PCP helped G2A identify grantees and managed grants in the aftermath of earthquake in PCP has recently signed a partnership agreement with G2A to help manage their regular grant making activities and take the lead role of G2A's grant facilitator in Pakistan. Under this partnership, PCP has been conducting the due-diligence and evaluation processes for its grantees in Pakistan. As the session moved forward, we saw people volunteering themselves as supporters of the school in their village and they were showing willingness to do all in their power to work for betterment of education in their area. Although currently the school has no building of its own and is run under a chhaprha (shelter less) structure, they not only pledged to enroll all their children into the school, but also informed me of their plan to construct a proper building for their school. It was such an elevating experience for us to witness that the community had already gathered some money, arranged bricks, sand and some other construction materials, and was now looking to write an application to the District Education Office and to the Engro Foundation (school adopter) to provide them with cement and roof-support materials. Expressing his views, one of the elders of the area said, We did not acquire ourselves with education and have lived a life of ignorance, we do not wish our children to suffer the same and want them to become doctors, engineers and officers who would live an honorable life and support their community as well. PCP has also been successful in securing a grant of US$ 12,500 from G2A for rehabilitation of earthquake victims in the Awaran district of Baluchistan. This funding is being implemented through a project run by Family Planning Association of Pakistan - FPAP (a PCP certified CSO). PCP also conducted the due-diligence and proposal evaluation of FPAP's project for this purpose. 18

Under the partnership, two quarterly reports/updates have been sent to ICNL within the specified deadline. Next report is due in March, CSOs' Certification Programme Expanding Knowledge on Philanthropy as Social Investment

13 Certification update and Milestones achieved: PCP plans to organize similar NGO Festivals in other cities as well. The next NGO Festival has been planned for Lahore. PCP runs the first and the only NGO certification programme in Pakistan which was developed after a review of models in Asia, America and extensive consultations with stakeholders. The programme is the only independent NGO certification and standard benchmarking effort which is also recognized by the government. The PCP has been authorized as the only CSO Certification Agency in Pakistan. The programme was launched in 2003 and successfully completed its 10 years in December Being a new concept of certification in the sector, the programme attained a gradual recognition. Today PCP has a databank of 306 credible certified CSOs all over Pakistan. The certification programme aims at strengthening the non-profit sector in Pakistan by setting sector wide standards in Internal Governance, Financial Management and the Programme Delivery. The system seeks to promote financial disclosure, documentation, effective programme delivery and good governance in the CSOs. The programme has been instrumental in identifying credible partners for social development for the government, donors, the corporate sector, the diaspora, national and International philanthropists. The benefits of certification for CSOs also include but are not limited to increased access to donors, indirect capacity building, institutional development, facilitation in availing tax exemption, enhanced credibility and promotion through the CSOs directory-gateway to Giving and the PCP website. In 2013, eighty seven (87) CSOs have applied to PCP for Certification. The trend shows the programme is getting popular among the CSOs. During the year, the certification unit has managed to evaluate and present 140 cases to the Certification Panel which is the highest number of cases presented in a year ever. Province wise presence of certified CSOs PCP certified CSOs are spread throughout the country. This includes both the urban and rural areas of interior Sindh, Punjab, KPK, Balochistan, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan. The pool of certified CSOs comprises all sizes of organizations from small community organizations to medium and large national level CSOs.
