Accelerated Implementation Framework for Education, Health, Agriculture & Energy Report FOR SDG SUPPORT UNIT KP

Objective:

Accelerated Implementation Framework for Education, Health, Agriculture & Energy Report FOR SDG SUPPORT UNIT KP 

About Project
Pakistan has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as its national development agenda. The Planning Commission developed a national framework for SDGs, including baselines, targets, and indicators. The KPK government has also established an SDGs support unit and developed a provincial framework for SDGs.
However, there is a need to accelerate progress towards achieving these goals. The KPK government has initiated the preparation of SDGs Acceleration Frameworks for specific sectors, such as agriculture, health, education, and energy. This framework will provide support to current actions and identify enablers, accelerators, and bottlenecks to ensure efficient and timely achievement of SDGs in KPK.

Services Provided:

Momentum provided invaluable expertise and support to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government in developing an accelerated implementation framework for key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our comprehensive approach involved a meticulous analysis of the current landscape, identification of critical bottlenecks, and formulation of targeted solutions to accelerate progress towards achieving these ambitious goals.

  1. SDG Accelerator and Bottleneck Assessment: We utilized advanced methodologies, such as the SDG Accelerator and Bottleneck Assessment (ABA) tool and the SDG Acceleration Toolkit, to identify specific drivers, interventions, and obstacles that impact SDG progress in the education, health, agriculture, and energy sectors.
  2. Comprehensive Data Analysis: Our team conducted a thorough desk review of secondary data, complemented by primary data collection and analysis. This comprehensive approach ensured a robust understanding of the current state of affairs and potential areas for improvement.
  3. Stakeholder Engagement: We engaged in extensive consultations with various stakeholders, including government officials, experts, and civil society representatives, to gather diverse perspectives and ensure the framework’s relevance and effectiveness.
  4. Framework Development: Based on our analysis, we developed a tailored accelerated implementation framework for each of the selected SDGs, providing a clear roadmap for the KP government to prioritize actions, overcome challenges, and achieve tangible results.
  5. Implementation and Monitoring Plan: We created a comprehensive plan outlining the steps necessary to implement the identified solutions and monitor progress towards achieving SDG targets.Impact and Significance
    Our work on the KP SDG Acceleration Framework has significant implications for both the province and the broader national development agenda. By identifying and addressing key bottlenecks, we have empowered the KP government to prioritize actions that will accelerate progress towards achieving the SDGs. This, in turn, will contribute to Pakistan’s overall development goals and enhance its global standing in sustainable development.
    This project represents a significant milestone in UNDP’s efforts to support Pakistan’s progress on the SDGs. By providing a comprehensive and actionable framework, we have helped to pave the way for more effective and efficient implementation of these critical goals, setting a precedent for future initiatives in other regions of Pakistan and beyond.
