Pakistan Flood Response Map Connects NGOs and Businesses to Help the Recovery
- U.S. Chamber of Commerce site promotes public private partnerships.
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Business Civic Leadership Center launched the Pakistan Flood Response Map, which profiles over 130 NGO's working on over 400 projects related to flood relief efforts in Pakistan. The site's goals are to show the U.S. business community what resources are needed as Pakistan transitions from recovery efforts to reconstruction and to allow businesses to directly contact NGOs working on the ground. Highlighting actual NGO needs like this and allowing businesses to identify where they can leverage their expertise with NGOs needing assistance in a specific vertical are the first steps toward expanding public private partnerships.
