The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme facilitated the formation of Village and Women Organisations (V/WOs) as informal institutions at the local level. These V/WOs served as a receiving mechanism for delivery of public services and the creation of physical, human and financial capital through partnerships and linkages with government as well as private sector and civil society organisations. They emanated from the idea of rural support programmes which believe in mobilising local people and resources for local development.

The government of Gilgit-Baltistan has appreciated the importance of initiatives launched by the Aga Khan University’s Professional Development Centre, North (PDCN), by presenting it with two honours, including the "Friends of Education award". Over the past 19 years, the PDCN has implemented a number of wide-ranging educational development projects in Gilgit-Baltistan, in partnership with local government. These initiatives, such as the five-year Educational Development and Improvement Programme, have transformed the infrastructure and teaching standards of hundreds of local schools, and improved the quality of education received by tens of thousands of students.

The notion of inclusive growth has gained traction in recent years — yet globally, rural communities are often left out of the formal economy. In some countries, the private sector has tried to loop those groups into growth but, as experts have observed, the corporate efforts were often “generally not ambitious enough.” At the Aga Khan Development Network, we have grappled with this challenge. We agree that the middle layer between microloan clients and larger industry is vital in the transformation of society. Too often this missing middle is forgotten when developing entrepreneurial ecosystems.
