Country Report 2018: Pakistan

Abstract

Individuals in Pakistan are free to form organizations, associations, foundations or any other type of nonprofits (Articles 15-17 of the Constitution of Pakistan). Several laws allow such registrations or authorizations to work as nonprofit organizations or social welfare agencies. In terms of purposes, generally there are no restrictions on the type of objectives toward which organizations want to work. The only restriction is that organizations cannot be formed for the promotion of sectarian differences.
