Innovating Against Odds: How a Province in Pakistan is Transforming Itself

World Bank Report

Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) seems like an unlikely place for a tech revolution. This northern province of Pakistan has faced a myriad of challenges over the last decades with regards to security, governance, and limited opportunities. Young people are especially affected by this instability, as limited economic and employment opportunities stifle their transitions into adulthood.

Around 53 million Pakistanis are under the age of 30, (60 percent of the population), and these young people present a unique opportunity to unlock potential growth and development through social and economic inclusion of its youth. The tech sector is one area of increasing possibilities, both to generate employment and to harness the creativity of young people to develop tech driven solutions for common business, social, civic and political challenges.

The great thing about technology is that it transcends geography. Global connectivity and a growing digital economy mean that KP’s youth can connect to jobs available online. And a greater number of free courses and online training means budding entrepreneurs can be found just about anywhere.

In 2013, the Government of KP, in partnership with the World Bank, devised a strategy to focus on linking its youth with global employment opportunities and to promote the empowerment of tech entrepreneurs. Two years later, Peshawar is emerging as one of Pakistan’s tech hubs and its image and the image of local youth is changing.

How Peshawar’s image changed in two years

At the heart of the new strategy was a focus on people. It started with asking who are the youth who are coding and building apps? What are these young people saying about their own futures? It started with hosting a few events, working together with local partners to get the word out and to convene young people and begin building communities.

One such activity is an annual tech conference that creates opportunities for networks, community building and vibrant discussions on themes of innovation, entrepreneurship and freelancing. The Digital Youth Summit (DYS), co-organized between local partner Peshawar 2.0, the KP IT Board and the World Bank, is now becoming one of Pakistan’s premier tech conferences. Every year, the summit features a startup expo, hands-on training and workshops, and gathers world-renowned speakers from the business startup and tech communities to discuss how to promote the digital economy in KP and beyond.

What started as a movement “by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs” now brings together 500 people, and reaches an estimated 1.2 million people through social media channels. The positive image of Peshawar goes a long way in rebranding KP and instilling pride in its local youth.

What’s next?

While events bring visibility and raise awareness, these activities need to be part of a broader strategy to generate employment opportunities and the growth of innovation and entrepreneurship for its youth. Community building is an important first step, but this community must be fostered through support to innovation, entrepreneurship and financing.

DYS has served as a catalyst for change. For example, it created a platform for Peshawar’s local business leaders to establish an angel investor network, committed to investing in local youth. Peshawar 2.0 recently launched an incubation program “Revolt” to foster local talent. This is just the beginning.

[GDA is Working Day and Night for Visible Change in Galiyat: Director Administration Raza Habib]

ABBOTTABAD: The Galiyat Development Authority (‪#‎GDA‬) is working day and ‪#‎night‬ to complete the construction and repair of roads in time in the scenic ‪#‎Galiyat‬ region.
This was stated by ‪#‎Director‬ GDA ‪#‎RazaAliHabib‬ while briefing Secretary Sports, Tourism & Youth Affairs Muhammad Azam Khan, who is also director general of GDA.
He said that the work was in three shifts and the roads between the tourist resorts ‪#‎Nathiagali‬ and ‪#‎Ayubia‬ have been widened while the others were repaired.
The official said that 80 per cent construction work on other roads will be completed by November 30. “Eleven out of 17 small and medium roads in four serene spots in Ayubia, ‪#‎Khanaspur‬, Nathiagali and ‪#‎Changlagali‬ are near to completion,” he added.
The repair and renovation work of chairlift is in full swing to make it functional next week. The chairlift was built in 1964 and since then no major repair work had been done.
After the repair of ‪#‎chairlift‬, the official said, the tourists along with their families would be able to enjoy ride between the scenic spots.
The director also informed that the GDA would also launch another cleanliness campaign from September 14 in which garbage on 30 kilometer road from Baragali to Barian would be disposed of.
For this purpose, he said, extra sanitation staff had been hired, who will be provided necessary equipment to make the drive a success.
It should be noted here that previously the GDA had a successful cleanliness drive in the main tourist spots - Nathiagali, Ayubia, Changlagali and others. The campaign was widely appreciated by visiting tourists and people from all walks of life.
To ensure cleanliness, the director held a meeting with the owners of hotels and asked them to keep their surroundings clean, or else the GDA will seal the hotels.
In this regard, an agreement was also signed with the hotels while the local population in six Galiyat townships extended full support to the government in this new initiative after they were sent letter for cooperation to keep Galiyat clean.
The members of Nathiagali Club had taken initiative for cleaning Galiyat and removing encroachments but due to lack of resources and funds the task was not completed.
Soon after taking over charge of GDA, the new management launched several uplift projects in Galiyat to facilitate tourists and local population.

The historical tourist resort complex of Attock Khurd is situated on the eastern bank of Indus River near the old iron girder bridge built in 1883, which links Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Punjab. The old British railway station built around 1880 with its magnificent stone masonry and beautiful Victorian architecture is set in a hilly backdrop of an area steeped in the romance of history. The British established the North Western Railway Attock Khurd Resort as a popular fishing spot and hunting ground for black partridge and wild fox. On the western bank is a tall First World War memorial. It was built in the memory of the men of the 40th Pathan Regiment which took part in the World War-I. Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great had built the Attock Fort in 1518 AD. It stands majestically by the side of the Indus and runs two miles in circumference. Remains of the old British Victorian cemetery, Begum ki Sehrai, Bahram ki Baradari, tomb of the unknown dancer and many Hindu, Jain and Sikh temples of the bygone era are located in the vicinity.

The Tourism Corporation Khyber Pakhtunkhwa collaboration with the Pakistan Railways initiated a train tour for bloggers, photographers, video makers and instagramers from Peshawar to Attock Khurd on Saturday, the 27th of September.The guests enjoyed a rare glimpse of a section of the Rawalpindi-Landi Kotal route. and were enthralled by the scenic sites, lush green Helds and orchards of peaches and plums, undulating hillocks and the rugged Manglot mountain range. The highlight of the journey was the seven tunnels, welcomed with hooting and loud clapping by the participants. We really appreciate the efforts the TCKP is putting in to revive tourism in our province again and we encourage all our fans to do try a tour on the Safari Train.

We would like to extend a special thankyou to Peshawar 2.0 for putting us on the invite list. And to Sajid & Zeeshan for the music track. We hope that you enjoy the video and as always we are expecting your feedback.
Cheers.
