The Focal Point is a new and original English magazine that highlights the activities of diplomatic and development organizations in Pakistan. This monthly journal will publish articles, reports, interviews, and profiles from people and organizations associated with the progress of Pakistan and its people. Focal Point will circulate among civil society organizations, research institutions, the gov
ernment, diplomatic missions, private sector, and public to facilitate the cooperation and knowledge sharing in development work. Through this magazine, we should all aspire to:
• Become agents of change – towards progress
• Showcase the special efforts and achievements of people who care and take action
• Amplify the voice of concerned people, area, and issues
• Gain attention from the public, businesses, and international agencies
• Demonstrate successful methodologies so others become more efficient
• Consolidate various people/groups in one forum to maximize development efforts
• Involve the government and policy makers
• Be a reference point for development practitioners, researchers, and policy makers
• Provide a professional forum to bring in donations for various causes
Another main feature of Focal Point magazine is to draw attention to the activities of diplomatic missions in Pakistan – especially in regards to their work in development. With this platform, the objective is to build stronger bonds between the countries so the benefits pass down to the grassroots. Let us all work together so people in need are the real beneficiaries of our relationship. Regards,
