History

Historical Context

The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme, launched by the Aga Khan Foundation in 1982, expanded Shoaib Sultan Khan’s participatory model that began in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral. In the 1990s the approach guided India’s rural-livelihood programmes, and Prince Rahim Aga Khan V’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi revisits that cross-border legacy, which now underpins 297,000 community organisations.
