On 24 and 25 September, Heads of UN member states and representatives of their governments will be assembling at UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York. In Pakistan, the Rural Support Programmes can be quoted as the brilliant and commendable examples of partnerships between government and NGOs which paid bonuses towards development in back ward areas of the country. For instance, the achievements of the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) inspired and guided government as well as other organisations to imitate and replicate its successful models. AKRSP, while taking the local government on board, introduced community participation in its projects. It focused the requirements of community as well as the responsibilities of government where it was lacking.
