ACCOUNTABILITY LAB PAKISTAN
AL Pakistan has expanded our programs to include capacity building and accountability leadership training for local governments, in addition to our core programs including Integrity Icon and the Accountability Incubator. The regions we work in include some of the most neglected areas in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The AL Pakistan team has worked with more than 30,000 participants over the past year, successfully implementing our Integrity Innovation Lab, Accountability Incubator, Civic Action Teams and Integrity Icon. Through our programs, more than 350 government officials were trained on good governance, solidifying their commitment to accountability and transparency in their work. The Youth Peace Incubation program saw the participation of over 3,000 young individuals, 55% of them women, who were introduced to groundbreaking ideas to contribute to the peace of society effectively. To build community resilience to Covid-19, AL Pakistan engaged 339 women leaders who reached out to vulnerable and high-risk populations to help them cope with ongoing challenges linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.
