A Snapshot of One of Our Hubs
The South Asia Hub is based at BRAC University in Bangladesh where it is coordinated by Maheen Sultan. The team consists of members from BRAC University and also the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies, Dhaka University and the Institute of Development Studies. They also work with the Collective for Social Research, Simorgh and the Sustainable Development Policy Institute in Pakistan and are hoping to initiate work in Afghanistan, dependent on funding. Their projects span across all four themes of the Pathways programme.
