Cordoba Logistics & Ventures Limited (“CLVL”) and foodpanda Pakistan signed an MoU under which CLVL will facilitate foodpanda riders in acquiring motorcycles on an affordable basis to operate on the platform. The partnership extends across the country, offering foodpanda riders the necessary means to participate in the growing e-commerce sector, creating sustainable economic opportunities and driving financial inclusion.
The program also aligns well with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 8, focusing on ‘decent work and economic growth’, and once launched will help create more flexible working opportunities across the community. The pilot project will start in June with an aim to scale it across Pakistan over the next several months.
Speaking on the occasion, Chairman CLVL, Mr. Zeshan Afzal said: “This strategic partnership to implement SDG – 8, will promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, create flexible economic opportunities, and decent work for all. We hope that this initiative will prove to be a stepping stone for even greater collaborations between both the organisations.”
“Opportunities like these help fulfill the ever growing demand for creating avenues of livelihood for the youth,” said Muntaqa Peracha, Managing Director foodpanda Pakistan. “I am glad that this collaboration will further facilitate our existing and potential riders as we continue striving for excellence and vow to support our heroes.”
