Abstract: The North West Frontier Province of Pakistan has historically been amongst the most backward regions of the country, and its rural communities, in particular, have suffered from the absence of social services and modern infrastructure including roads, sewage, drinking water and health facilities. This case looks at Anjuman Samaji Falahi Behbood's effort to set up infrastructure development projects in a village community. The focus of the case is on the issue of partnerships in providing services to such communities, and it highlights some of the major problems which arise when multiple stakeholders are involved. In the case, the critical issues raised include problems of participatory development, the natural outgrowth of partnerships and major impediments such as the unwillingness of the target communities to share the responsibilities associated with partnerships.
