Directory of HRD Institutions & Experts in the SAARC Region

Foreword
The SAARC Human Resource Development Centre, Islamabad has published the fifth issue of
the Directory of HRD Institutions and Experts in the SAARC Region. The Directory is intended
to provide information about the HRD experts and institutions to match the needs of the regional
policy makers and practitioners in search of policy updates or feedback from the experts. The
Directory also contains comprehensive information for international aid organizations, HRD
researchers, training / conference/seminar organizers seeking experts to speak on particular
issues or looking for HRD writers in the region.
The Directory has been compiled and updated from the best available sources of information at
the date of publication. It has been developed with a view to develop a network for sharing
professional experiences and expertise for HRD in the region. The Directory includes 102 public
and private sector organizations in the SAARC Member States.
I would like to appreciate the support provided by Ms. Aneela Nasreen, Librarian and Mr. Ahmad
Subhani, Data Entry Operator for compiling and updating the Directory, which will serve as a
resource and networking aid.
If you are an HRD expert or you are affiliated with an organization which deals with research,
capacity building and its related areas, please provide information to include the same in the
upcoming issue of the Directory.
