These recommendations are structured to advance human development in Pakistan, highlighting significant improvements in education and healthcare, redressing economic imbalances, realigning policies for optimal impact, encouraging international cooperation, and engaging the Pakistani diaspora:

o   Build more schools and clinics in underserved regions, train educators and healthcare workers, and provide essential resources to improve access to quality education and healthcare.

o   Foster innovation and entrepreneurship in rural areas through skill development programmes, microfinance, and support for small businesses. This approach should involve government agencies, development organisations, and local authorities.

o   Shift the focus of Pakistan’s policies towards human development and poverty alleviation, particularly in rural and underprivileged areas. This involves reorienting strategies within key governmental bodies like the Planning Commission and Ministry of Finance to prioritise initiatives that improve quality of life, integrating grassroots-level experiences into national policymaking.

o   Leverage the expertise and resources of the Pakistani diaspora, especially those in the healthcare sector, to enhance Pakistan’s healthcare infrastructure and practices. Collaborate with international health organisations to create sustainable healthcare models that draw on successful practices from developed nations.

o   Redefine development goals to focus on people’s well-being and opportunities, integrating this approach into all government policies. Work towards empowering individuals to access opportunities, including quality education and livelihood training.

o   Strategically involve the Pakistani diaspora in development projects, tailoring approaches to different generations with distinct motivations and expectations. Ensure financial transparency and effectiveness to maximise their contributions.

o   Encourage collaboration among organizations across various sectors, including education and health, to improve Pakistan’s Human Development Index through a unified approach.
