DFID has a bilateral programme with Pakistan, but does not have a specific programme in Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), which is an autonomous administrative territory of Pakistan. AJK benefits from DFID-supported national programmes in Pakistan that promote economic growth and improve health services, and has also benefited from DFID’s humanitarian programmes.
