Govt to organise Sindh Development Forum on March 28
Forum will advise government, partners on priorities and strategies for development in the province
DESIGN: CREATIVE COMMON
KARACHI:
The government is organising the Sindh Development Forum (SDF) with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other development partners.
The forum will advise the government and partners on the priorities and strategies on a recurring basis as opposed to a one-off activity. In the long run, SDF is envisaged to transform the nature of development planning in the province to make it a more proactive, coherent and strategic endeavour.
The inaugural event for the SDF is a one-day conference, hosted by the Sindh government, which is scheduled to take place on March 28 at the Movenpick Hotel in Karachi.
Anti-typhoid campaign: USAID to donate 250,000 syringes to Sindh govt
The conference aims to bring together delegates representing development partners, including country directors from the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, mission head of USAID, the ambassador of the European Union to Pakistan, non-governmental organisations and civil society organisations, business entities, academia and the provincial government to understand the state of play of development in Sindh, recognise development gaps and formulate common strategies for the development of Sindh and establish a broad framework for partner cooperation in Sindh for the next 10 years.
USAID vows to continue to support people of Sindh
The chief minister will be the chief guest on the occasion. The specific objectives include sharing of development priorities, key reforms and an outline of priority initiatives needed to achieve key development goals, sharing of development partners' strategies for provincial development and highlighting lessons learned, developing insights into what works in Sindh and how these can be used as strategies in the realisation of the development priorities, analysing policy and performance gaps to propose mechanisms for addressing those gaps and identifying and formulating common strategies for collaboration.
