The training program is supported by USAID in latter's effort to develop the human resource capacity for microfinance sector in Pakistan, says a press release.
USAID's support for WHAM is part of the $1.5 billion in aid that the US government is providing to Pakistan over five years to improve economic growth, education, health, governance, and reconstruction of earthquake affected areas.

As part of the agreement, the Shore Bank will initially evaluate and assess the diverse needs and skills sets of Khushhali Bank's vast network of employees across the country to design training content and material that is relevant and thus effective.
The objective of the training program is to enhance Khushhali Bank's staff capacities through focused sessions emphasising balancing multiple performance targets, customised design and exclusive delivery of training to the staff.
Laying stress on the importance of this development, Khushhali Bank President Ghalib Nishtar said: "We understand the need for consistent training and development to address the immediate human resource capacity building needs of Khushhali Bank. Through this partnership, we, therefore, hope to provide market-led high quality and cost-effective training to our employees."-PR
