Operationalizing Aid in Pakistan with Faiysal AliKhan

May 25, 2010
Faiysal AliKhan

On May 25, the Atlantic Council hosted Faiysal AliKhan, Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Integrated Development Action (FIDA), a non-governmental organization focusing on development issues in the southern districts of Pakistan's Frontier Province and Tribal Area.  Calling upon his extensive experience with humanitarian organizations, Mr. AliKhan discussed the current status of aid in Pakistan and how local organizations and the international community can better cooperate to improve the effectiveness and transparency of developmental efforts in the region.  

Founded in 2004, FIDA works primarily in districts NWFP and FATA, with a long-term approach to development and social change in this region. FIDA aims to act as a bridge between traditional and modern systems of governance and society. Recent issues that FIDA has responded to include the crisis of internally displaced people from South Waziristan and has worked with partners such as UNHCR, Oxfam-GB, IRC and IRD to provide non-food items, water and sanitation facilities, health services and protection support to the IDP community.
