Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice is comprehensive and is regularly updated. This advice includes:
\u201cThere is a high threat from terrorism, kidnap and sectarian violence throughout Pakistan. In the aftermath of an attack on a school in Peshawar in December 2014, there is a heightened threat of terrorist attacks, and kidnapping against western nationals in Pakistan. You should be particularly vigilant at this time and take appropriate security precautions. Security forces in Pakistan remain on high alert following recent attacks.....Be vigilant, keep a low profile and vary your routes and timings if you make any regular journeys. Public places and public gatherings are often targeted, including courts and government buildings, hotels, airports, markets, shopping malls, restaurants, educational institutions and religious shrines\u201d.<\/p>"}

Pakistan faces a severe threat from improvised explosive device (IED) attacks perpetrated by terrorist groups, and has sought assistance from the UK to help tackle this threat and develop the capabilities of its security forces.<\/p>
The UK is delivering a counter-IED (C-IED) programme to help Pakistan establish a multi-agency capability for tackling IEDs. Pakistan now has a rapidly expanding C-IED capability with close to 5,000 practitioners trained, which has helped significantly to deal with the scourge of IEDs and save Pakistani lives. The impact of our assistance has been felt across Pakistan, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and has been greatly appreciated by the Pakistan government and military leadership.<\/p>

DFID\u2019s Peacebuilding Support Programme supports the provincial Government to deliver improved security and justice to 250,000 citizens in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). It focuses on strengthening civilian security (police, prosecutions, prisons) and the formal and informal justice sectors. DFID also contributes to a Multi Donor Trust Fund supporting areas of KP affected by militancy and conflict. It helps improve state-citizen trust and reduce the root causes of insecurity through improved infrastructure, economic development and service delivery.<\/p>

UK aid to Pakistan also addresses the conditions that might breed violent extremism by reducing poverty, meeting basic needs, increasing economic opportunities and promoting inclusion. It supports the government to build an effective state that is more able to respond to violent extremism through strengthening democratic processes and institutions, delivering better services and improving access to justice.<\/p>
