Abstract

The phenomenon of globalization has contributed significantly to the need for understanding various development related issues from a broader perspective. Human Resource Development (HRD) efforts in developing countries can contribute to this understanding and needs to be examined from cultural, regional, ethnic, and religious perspectives. This paper examines HRD efforts of the First Microfinance Bank, an agency of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), in Pakistan. Special emphasis is placed on how HRD efforts helped in promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.
