Program Description

The USAID Training for Pakistan Project was a five-year, $20 million project that provided training and capacity-building services to address issues such as violent extremism, economic growth, and democracy and governance.

After leading the predecessor to this project—the five-year, $33 million Training for Pakistan II, which ended in May 2018, World Learning was pleased to continue that work, this time in partnership with the U.S. small business The Kaizen Company, which led the USAID Training for Pakistan Project.

The project provided needs assessment services and capacity-building programming to address gaps in skills and knowledge across USAID’s portfolio in Pakistan. It utilized tools such as technical training, international exchanges, internship programs, conferences, small grants, and a range of alumni support. World Learning’s primary role was to design and arrange training and related activities that took place in the U.S. or elsewhere outside of Pakistan.

Program Goals

  • Provided professional training, exchange programming, and other services to support capacity development across USAID’s development portfolio in Pakistan.
