This document summarizes the nexus between foreign aid and security in Pakistan. It discusses how aid has impacted Pakistan's macroeconomy and different sectors. A large portion of aid has gone towards relieving the damage caused by Pakistan's involvement in regional conflicts. However, aid effectiveness has been limited due to a lack of coordination and use of national systems. The document calls for reforms to Pakistan's aid policy including better alignment of aid with development planning, coordination between donors and government, and making aid contingent on progress on governance and security.
