Energy management practices which lower dependence on traditional fuel sources and provide Off-Grid energy solutions to communities residing in the remote locations of Pakistan are a part of Program’s objectives.

The Environment and climate change programs places particular emphasis on building partnerships with local, sub-national & national authorities, communities, and non-governmental organizations to create alliances which synergize strengths of each of these sectors. Working with key stakeholders – development organizations, practitioners, communities, and the Government – the program inculcates an integrated and sustainable approach towards building partnerships. The program wants to enhance capacities at all levels in order to support communities aiming to address climate related concerns.
