The team also met with the Institute of Rural Management, the National Commission for Human Development, the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund and the National University of Modern Languages with valuable assistance from AIPS member Dr. Rizwan Shinwari.. The meetings focused on economic and human development and opportunities for future professional exchange programs. Lastly, a mega-mixer had almost 90 Civic Initiative program alumni spanning over 15 years of Pakistan-focused programs on public policy, higher education, entrepreneurship and digital journalism.
