Pak-NGOs is an ambitious project of a few individuals who aim to
facilitate coordination among NGOs in Pakistan. It provides them a
platform to share information, exchange views, and raise concerns
about issues they are working on, and/or the issues they face while
working for the betterment of the people of Pakistan.
Currently, Pak-NGOs has introduced 4 features on the website, and one
strictly moderated mailing group on Google Groups. The four features
include:
- An online live directory of NGOs working in Pakistan: It includes
all national as well as international NGOs currently working in the
country. The directory contains brief profiles of NGOs with their
contact information. The NGOs can create their own profiles, and
update them whenever they need.
- Jobs Portal: NGOs can post their vacant positions. The posts are
strictly moderated, and approved within 48 hours of submission.
These job posts are then shared on Pak-NGOs’ social media accounts
on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
- Funding Opportunities: Pak-NGOs team looks out for funding
opportunities for Pakistan based NGOs. Such opportunities are posted
on the website with key information, and relevant links for
further information.
- News and Views: People can write blogs and articles on various
issues, and can share information about their projects, upcoming and/or
just completed activities.
This website is managed by a small team of volunteers, and it does not
charge its users or clients (NGOs and INGOs) for its services. Team
Pak-NGOs is working hard to make it financially viable, and self-sustained
project that does not depend on donor support for its survival.
