Education and skills assist nations and individuals produce knowledge that leads them to create better conditions for the collective good. Apart from better lives, jobs, education, and skills help create prosperity for all. The overall outcome is social cohesion at the societal level.  Education and skills development and employments are the core areas of MV work. MV has worked with the federal and provincial governments of Pakistan on preparing effective strategies for meeting the targets of SDG 4.


  • Education Policy and Long-Term Education Planning:

Our research and work on education are guided by the targets of SDG4. That is why we especially focus on an education policy with long-term deliverables. For MV, the two main outcomes of education policy are quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning. At the societal level, this is critical as it leads to productive employment and decent work for all.

  • Formal & Non-Formal Education Project Design, Implementation, And Assessment:

In a country like Pakistan, formal and non-formal education are equally important to achieve the SDG4 targets by 2030. MV’s work with the government and the donor and the UN agencies revolves around formulating strategies and reforms for formal and non-formal initiatives as well as implementing and rolling out country-wide programs.
