Canada, according to Mr. Hughes, takes keen interest in supporting sustainable development in developing countries. As AKRSP has brought tangible improvement in this region, Cida can draw lessons as well as satisfaction from its contribution to this programme and to human development in Northern Areas. The AKRSP is a valuable investment of the Canadian taxpayers dollars, as it has evolved into an important model for rural development within and outside Pakistan.
