Pakistan

Leadership walks on road-less travelled.

Pakistan offers a unique opportunity to gain experience in social and economic development projects in addition to a once in a life-time cultural and travel adventure. Working and living in Pakistan will provide aspiring as well as experienced development practitioners, emerging markets entrepreneurs or public policy professionals with a unique, in-depth perspective on an important emerging economy.

The history of Pakistan began on 14 August 1947 when the country became an independent nation as a result of Pakistan Movement and the partition of India.

Today, the country is a 220M people strong emerging growth market and a centre for agriculture, trade and transport. However, challenges remain in Pakistan, with literacy rate is 50% and average annual household income of 650 USD (2016).

The Opportunity

Sectors including healthcare, education, transportation are ready for transformation. Steadily, the government is implementing policies which may serve this end, but much of the work will need to be done by the social and the private sector.

There are endless opportunities to contribute and have positive impact in Pakistan, whether your professional interests lie in Social Enterprises, Technology, NGOs or Government.

Pakistan offers you the exposure needed to test your limits, expand your professional consciousness and grow into the leader you aspire to be.
