development goals. British Council Pakistan together with DFID

initiatives for skills development, knowledge sharing, problem
solving research and other activities that will contribute

announced from Pakistan covering a wide range of topics
including scientific and technological research with a
particular focus on local issues, health, education,
infrastructure, water, fisheries, agriculture, ICTs and gender
issues.
