In an effort to supplement the government's programme for disaster relief, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has established a fund to mobilise finances for post-relief reconstruction of devastated areas.
This reconstruction effort is aimed at enabling the private sector to fulfil its corporate social responsibility and fostering public-private partnership in dealing with a national tragedy of this magnitude.
The SECP and corporate sector realise that they must not only stand by the government in its relief efforts, but also play an active role by supporting the reconstruction efforts of non-governmental organisations and local government.
Therefore, SECP appeals to all corporate and financial sector organisations to contribute generously to the President's Relief Fund and support the additional SECP's effort to mobilise the public-private partnership for reconstruction.
