Generating momentum on Pakistan-related activities at the University of Oxford.
The Oxford Pakistan Programme (the 'OPP') is the first initiative of its kind through which a concerted effort is being made to generate momentum on various Pakistan-related activities at the University of Oxford.
Built on an unconventional model of fundraising, we deliver high-impact initiatives on a spend-down basis. Funds raised for the OPP are ring-fenced and held within the University of Oxford.
Despite a deep historical connection, Pakistanis and British Pakistanis remain underrepresented at Oxford. Financial constraints are the primary barrier to entry.
Address the underrepresentation of Pakistani and British Pakistani students through scholarships and targeted mentorship.
Facilitate deep academic exchange between Oxford University and Pakistan's leading institutions of higher learning.
Develop a world-class pipeline of thinkers who can reimagine and reshape the nation's future.
Support for OPP activities is being secured for the next five years to create a "proof of concept" that can be institutionalised on a long-term basis.
