CSSP works to bridge government institutions and communities — because good governance and effective public services depend on both sides talking to each other.

On August 17, 2026, CSSP facilitated a landmark meeting of the Minority Caucus, Provincial Assembly of Sindh, at the Provincial Assembly in Karachi. Chaired by Mr. Giyan Chand Essrani, Convener of the Caucus & Advisor to CM Sindh for Rehabilitation, the session brought together MPAs, senior officials, faith leaders, and civil society to discuss the everyday challenges minority communities face — from education access to fair representation in government jobs.

🔹 7 landmark policy recommendations endorsed
🔹 Minority Facilitation Desk model applauded — 9 desks, 3,600+ cases across Hyderabad Range
🔹 Members pledged reforms on the floor of the Sindh Assembly

Key asks: 5% education quota • 5% social protection quota • quota revision to 10% • stronger MFDs • interfaith peace committees • a Legal Review Committee on Minority Rights

This is CSSP's commitment in action — strengthening dialogue, driving advocacy, standing for collective action.
