Following in the footsteps of his mentor, the late Akhtar Hameed Khan, Shoaib Sultan Khan has emerged as a pioneering force for rural development and poverty alleviation in Pakistan.
These views were expressed by analysts at “An Evening with Shoaib Sultan Khan”, organised by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute as part of its “A Tribute to Living Legend Series” on Monday.
After retirement from the civil service, Shoaib founded the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) in 1992 and was chosen to head the UN Asian Rural Support Programme in 1994. He introduced rural support programmes in several South Asian countries including India.
