About HSF And HSF Fellows
Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) works in the service of democracy, peace and development in Bavaria, Germany and beyond. Since more than 50 years, HSF has been a respected global partner on good governance, the rule of law, and contacts with Germany.
Being part of the broader German development cooperation, the Munich-based foundation is currently implementing more than 97 projects in about 71 countries worldwide, including Pakistan. It is the first German political foundation to work in Pakistan; since decades HSF has strengthened parliamentary and academic structures while pursuing a partnership-based approach that focuses on ownership by local organizations and transparency.
HSF Fellows is the prestigious alumni network of HSF Pakistan engaged through its multiple projects over the years. It aims to provide a platform to the youth of Pakistan and build their capacity to become agents of positive change in the society. HSF Fellows are part of a global network of scholars, politicians and activists and have access to a number of national and international academic and professional opportunities through our worldwide network of partners.
About NDF and YDPC
National Dialogue Forum (NDF) is a non-partisan public policy organization based in Islamabad, Pakistan. NDF adheres to a simple but efficacious idea of ‘unity in diversity’. NDF advocates for a public policy that would foster pluralism and inclusiveness in Pakistan.
Keeping in view the needs of the country, a National Youth Outreach Program by the name of Young Peace and Development Corps (YPDC) was launched by NDF which focuses on engaging youth in the development discourse and conflict resolution processes as a policy tool to guarantee socioeconomic inclusiveness and a youth responsive approach to prevention of conflicts in Pakistan.

We at Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) believe that taking responsibility is always the best leadership. Our prestigious HSF Pakistan alumni network brings together young talented people of exceptional academic achievement and outstanding political or social commitment who take on responsibility in Pakistan’s society and are keen to broaden their international horizon.
