Research Base

BQF has noted that many development initiatives across the globe have produced wonderful insights in the human development. However, only few development initiatives test these lessons in the field. Knowledge on human development cannot advance if the efficacy and appropriateness of development prescriptions is not tested in the community development. BQF will test and improve lessons learned in the development projects in Pakistan and elsewhere by employing them into all its activities.

Human Well Being Knowledge Generation

The main feature of BQF strategy is to develop a human well being research center in Pakistan. Besides testing lessons of other development initiatives in the field, BQF will also undertake its own research projects to generate useable knowledge on human well being. In the long run, BQF will produce usable knowledge for public and private organizations both in Pakistan and outside Pakistan.

Networking

The magnitude of social problems in Pakistan is tremendous. It is not feasible for a single organization to address all issues. BQF is establishing networking with a number of national and international organizations to advance development in Pakistan. BQF will pool resources—human, technical and financial—from its partners and will also support them in their activities. Networking will help BQF in all its research related activities. Networking will also help BQF in disseminating the results of its activities with a wide variety of social groups across the globe.

Community Participation

The core feature of BQF strategy is community participation in all areas and at all levels of its development activities and decision making. BQF has already started community consultation program. In Chakwal, community volunteers have started working with BQF in collection and establishment of community development databases.

Women Empowerment

BQF will strive for women empowerment by encouraging women to take part in all of its activities. Participation of women will be critical in the educational activities. BQF plans to empower women of all age groups through educational and advocacy activities.

Dissemination

BQF will disseminate its activities, research results, best practices, achievements and other knowledge products to all of its stakeholders regularly. BQF will actively utilize electronic and print media to educate citizens and seek their feedback. BQF will stimulate debates on critical development issues in Pakistan.
