SUMMARY of the Article “Doing Okay,” Arooj Waheed Dar, Dawn, August 21st, 2024
The article highlights the persistent challenges faced by Pakistan’s social sector, particularly in the context of high inflation, which has severely eroded the purchasing power of the poor, pushing an estimated 10 million people towards poverty. Despite the urgent need for social protection, Pakistan allocates less than one percent of its GDP to social assistance programs, leaving the vulnerable with little support. The government’s constrained fiscal space and competing priorities have led to minimal investment in social sectors. Consequently, the author argues for the need to create an enabling environment for Social Delivery Organizations (SDOs) to step in and bridge the gap. The article cites the Doing Good Index (DGI) 2024 report, which classifies Pakistan as “doing okay” in terms of the regulatory environment for philanthropy, a decline from its previous “doing better” status in 2020. The report highlights the increasing regulatory burdens on SDOs, including prolonged registration processes, difficulties in accessing foreign and local funding, and a sharp decline in the perceived transparency of government procurement processes. These regulatory challenges have been exacerbated by political agendas, particularly in the wake of the PTI foreign funding case and Pakistan’s efforts to meet FATF requirements, which have led to tighter controls on NGOs. The article calls for the removal of » Read More…
SUMMARY of the Article “COP in Pakistan,” Aisha Khan, Dawn, August 19th, 2024
The article addresses the pressing need for effective climate governance in Pakistan, emphasizing the challenges of policy implementation after the 18th Amendment. Despite the existence of comprehensive policies like the National Climate Change Policy 2021 and the National Water Policy 2018, there is a significant gap between policy formation and implementation due to weak institutional structures and unclear responsibilities. The 18th Amendment has decentralized climate governance, leading to each province developing its own climate policies, but without a strong mechanism for the federal government to enforce these at the provincial level. The Pakistan Climate Act 2017, which aimed to enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Climate Change and foster coordination between the center and provinces, has been slow to operationalize, raising concerns about procedural inefficiency. The article highlights the lack of human capital and merit-based recruitment as major obstacles to effective climate action, leading to a critical capacity crisis. To address these challenges, the writer proposes the establishment of an annual Conference of the Parties (COP) within Pakistan, modeled after the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This domestic COP would facilitate coordinated climate action, enhance transparency, and hold stakeholders accountable. The article also stresses the importance of judicial and parliamentary oversight in ensuring that climate policies are not undermined by vested interests, urging » Read More…
SUMMARY of the Article “Pakistan at 77,” by Samuel Rizk, Dawn, August 14th, 2024
In this reflective piece, Samuel Rizk, the UNDP resident representative in Pakistan, offers a nuanced analysis of Pakistan’s journey as it marks its 77th Independence Day. Despite the nation’s pride and natural beauty, Pakistan faces significant challenges as it recovers from the dual blows of the Covid-19 pandemic and the devastating 2022 floods. The country remains highly vulnerable to climate change and continues to struggle with macroeconomic instability, debt, and security concerns. These issues are compounded by unresolved governance challenges, which hinder the nation’s ability to achieve inclusive and sustainable development. The article underscores the urgency of addressing these challenges, especially as Pakistan has only six years left to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Alarmingly, the country is projected to achieve only 35 out of 169 targets, with poverty at 40 percent and significant gender disparities. The literacy rate among women and girls is a mere 46 percent, and nearly 22 million children are out of school. Rizk highlights three critical areas of focus for Pakistan’s future: investing in human capital, particularly by empowering women and youth; preparing for a resilient, sustainable economy that adapts to climate challenges; and enhancing Pakistan’s global presence by committing to human rights, civic engagement, and strong trade practices.

SUMMARY of the Article “Striving to Hope,” Dawn, August 14th, 2024
On this Independence Day, marked by the triumph of Arshad Nadeem at the Olympics, there is a slightly brighter outlook for Pakistan, a country often seen as an underdog. However, this optimism must be tempered with reflection on the future for the nation’s youth, who make up over 60% of the population. August 12, the UN’s International Youth Day, serves as a reminder of the challenges these young people face. Pakistan is experiencing a ‘youth bulge,’ with a significant portion of its population under 30. This demographic reality, often misinterpreted as a sign of potential power, is actually a warning. The resources required to support such a large young population—education, healthcare, employment—are insufficient, leading to widespread unemployment and associated mental health issues. The pandemic has exacerbated these challenges, leaving many young people in a state of uncertainty and prompting them to seek opportunities abroad. The societal and cultural environment also contributes to this crisis, with social media creating unrealistic standards of wealth and success, fueling anxiety and depression among the youth. Despite the celebration of underdog stories like that of Nadeem, the article argues that it is essential for older generations and policymakers to reduce the obstacles young people face. This includes controlling population growth, creating effective » Read More…
SUMMARY of the Article “Challenges to Social Cohesion” by Shahid Kardar, Dawn, August 10th, 2024
The article explores the numerous and interconnected crises, referred to as a “polycrisis,” that have severely weakened Pakistan’s governance and social cohesion. The state is described as teetering on the brink of financial insolvency due to the burdens of a bloated and self-serving state machinery, which enjoys lavish perks while the general population suffers from disenfranchisement and lack of security. The erosion of public trust is exacerbated by a lack of rule of law, growing terrorism, and a governance system that is increasingly dysfunctional. Civilian institutions, which should act as the pillars of the state, are described as fragile and largely ineffective due to political interference, corruption, and mismanagement. The education system is failing to equip the workforce with the necessary skills, further marginalizing the population and contributing to high unemployment rates, especially among youth. Meanwhile, excessive and outdated regulations are stifling economic growth, and the country is facing deepening regional and ethnic disparities. Social cohesion is under severe strain, with society becoming » Read More…
