"Market associations, religious welfare networks, professional guilds, neighbourhood councils – these exist everywhere in Pakistan, self-financed and genuinely representative of those they serve. Somehow, donors never found them. Or rather, they looked right past them. What donors funded instead, quite generously, were those groups established specifically to attract their money." https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/may/16/aid-programmes-donors-pakistan-ngos-civil-society #civilsociety
