  1. Italians should keep a good check on their money to see whether it is being spent on the purpose for which it was given or is it going into the pockets of few.

  2. Italians are already engaged in development of Chitral and they have extended funds to eradicate poverty in three Union councils of Chitral i.e., Ayun, Drosh I and Drosh II. Program for Poverty Reduction (PPR) is directly benefiting 6744 HH through capacity building trainings in Drosh I and Drosh II in partnership with Sarhad Rural Support Program (SRSP)
