High-quality contract work made affordable
Find top-rated contractors to help your business
Through our professional services marketplace, businesses using Upwork can engage with contractors in select regions where the Aga Khan Foundation operates, starting with contractors in Gilgit Baltistan. Our longer-term vision is to build a thriving global professional services marketplace that creates mutually reinforcing value for businesses and contractors alike, regardless of their location. To participate in this marketplace, we ask that you complete a short registration form to join our pilot program. We will follow up regarding next steps.
About Us
​
With recent cost inflation leading to rising wage pressures and difficulties in finding talent, businesses are seeking ways to reduce costs. Online marketplaces such as Upwork are also making it easier to procure high-quality professional services (e.g., in accounting, software development, creative design, etc.). Some business owners have requested to work with trusted contractors globally who can offer these services at equal or more competitive rates.
To assist in this effort, the Aga Khan Foundation has identified contractor agencies that can offer high-quality professional services at cost-competitive rates online. These agencies have strong reputations working with international clients, and can provide quality assurance while training new contractors and creating new sources of employment in their communities.
