Action Against Hunger's Pakistan Mission is part of ACF International, a humanitarian organisation committed to fight against undernutrition & its causes.
Hopefully in the future not only the ACF but other org. will also be sure to hold such sessions, as highlighting these kinds of issues aren’t only the responsibility of the elected representatives, but also those from all sectors & is to provide this info. to other ppl as well.
Pakistan has South Asia’s second largest economy.
However, entrenched poverty, social inequality, and limited access to basic social services along with conflict and natural disasters - have limited its development.
