PM Imran Khan (official) recognizes the gravity of the issue of #Malnutrition in #Pakistan and what it costs. Around 45% of our Pakistani children are under nourished and it’s costing us our future – he says. We congratulate the PM for taking the very first steps in the right direction of #HumanDevelopment. We would like to offer and extend all support that is required from us.

In August, the guest speaker for our monthly dialogue series, Development Talks, was Mr. Sarfraz Lal Din, Country Director ACTED Pakistan.
He reflected on the changing development sector and the ways in which civil society organizations can survive by adapting to this shifting landscape. Holding an interactive and interesting dialogue with HDF staff, Mr. Sarfraz viewed the development sector through the lens of an individual and a nonprofit, sharing valuable expertise and advice.
HDF and its partners, Ministry of Planning, Development & Reform and SUN-CSA Pakistan have launched a mass awareness campaign called #UmeedSayAagay at the provincial level, starting from Lahore on August 7, 2018, at the Auditorium of Planning & Development Department. The event was attended by representatives from international donor agencies, civil society organizations, academia, Punjab government and media.
The event focused on taking action to save over 400,000 lives of mothers and children. Decision makers agreed to advocate for & work together on a variety of measures, such as policy making for the introduction of low-cost high nutrition organic foods, widespread distribution of “Pakistan Dietary Guidelines”, an extension of maternity leave to up to 6 months, and ensuring suitable development budgets for mother and child wellness programs.
