Improved Economic and Urban Planning in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
SEED is a six-year, UK-funded £37.5 million programme. Its first component (£15 million) aims at improving economic and urban planning in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to help the province plan and finance investments it needs for growth, jobs, and prosperity.
SEED is providing technical assistance to the Government of KP (GoKP) by introducing appropriate policy responses based on evidence and international best practices that would stabilise the GoKP’s fiscal position, shield investment and jobs, and pave the way for a quicker economic recovery.

" SEED has joined hands with Atomcamp, a continuous learning platform, to impart digital and business skills to home-based women entrepreneurs in KP. We have also collaborated with the Bank of Khyber to include modules on financial inclusion and financial literacy because this was a core gap that we felt needed to be bridged. "
