Recently, I had the opportunity to facilitate an evaluation assignment for an organization seeking certification from Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP).
The process reminded me how crucial documentation and compliance are for non-profits and it must not be considered as a burden or dikhawa, but as a pathway to credibility, transparency, and ultimately, greater impact.
In addition to that these standardizations and certifications processes provides a moment for the organization to reflect on it accomplishments, astonhishes them on the success, and make them realize what mistakes have turned into habits. It makes them realize how greater transparency and accountability can be a tool to scale-up and growth, instead of reasons to feel vulnerable and exposed.
From the perspective of Policy, institutions like PCP, provides an opportunity to standardize, formulaize and improve Pakistan's position in ever evolving global compliance landscape.
Every such mini-assignment and experience expands my perspective as a consultant, development practitioner, and — most importantly — a student of Development Studies.
It reinforces my belief that compliance is not just about ticking boxes of a checklist; it’s about ensuring that every intervention leaves behind a traceable, credible, and sustainable impact.
