By many measures the Aga Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) is a highly successful NGO-run rural development program. It reaches some 900,000 people in about 1,100 villages in the Northern Areas and Chitral District of Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border. The Operations Evaluation Department (OED), under commission by the Aga Khan Foundation, has conducted a unique series of evaluations of the AKRSP- in 1986, 1989, 1995, and most recently in 2001, just before the events of September 11. With the resulting global attention to the region, the findings are not only relevant to the north of Pakistan but also to neighboring Afghanistan, which has many geographic and social similarities.
