LocationsAzad Jammu & Kashmir
By Muhammad Rasheed | Minister Power Development Authority, Convenor AJ&K Legislative Assembly Taskforce on SDGs
We envision a dynamic landscape in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) where parliamentary engagement powerfully drives the SDGs, ensuring accountability, equity, and localized progress by 2030. Our legislative task forces will harness public-private partnerships, including the strength of the diaspora population, to leverage innovative resources and expertise and turn aspirations into tangible outcomes. By unveiling and maximizing the potential of legislative tools, we will strengthen our commitment to citizen-centric development through constituency-level action that amplifies community voices.
Regular biannual meetings will sustain our momentum, which will be guided by robust data collection and meaningful evaluation. As we celebrate significant progress, with 60 percent of our indicators on track since 2015, we will confront challenges head-on and intensify efforts in critical areas needing improvement. Through a united front of elected representatives, line departments, and local communities, we aim to create a resilient, equitable AJK that exemplifies our unwavering commitment to exceeding the ambitious goals of the 2030 agenda.
Together, we will transform challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth.
Balochistan
By Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi | Advisor to Chief Minister Balochistan & Minister for Women Development Department & Convener, SDGs Parliamentary Task Force, Provincial Assembly of Balochistan
As we approach the final phase of Agenda 2030, the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan remains committed to translating the global goals into localized, equitable, and inclusive action. Through the SDGs Parliamentary Task Force, we are leveraging legislative tools to mainstream sustainable development across provincial policy frameworks—ensuring that marginalized voices, especially women and youth, are prioritized in budgetary allocations and program design.
"True progress lies in transforming global promises into local realities—where every law passed, every budget allocated, and every voice heard brings us closer to a just and sustainable future for all."
Constituency-level engagement in Balochistan has become a cornerstone of our SDG strategy. We believe that parliamentary ownership, supported by data-driven oversight and cross-sector collaboration, is essential to ensure no one is left behind. By bridging the gap between global ambitions and local realities, we aim to institutionalize accountability, deepen democratic participation, and accelerate progress in areas where it is most needed.

Punjab
By Barrister Usama Fazal | Convener Punjab SDG Taskforce
As the Convener of the Punjab Assembly’s SDGs Task Force, my vision is to harness the unique role of legislators, not only as policymakers, but also as representatives with direct access to communities. Each Member of the Provincial Assembly carries the voices, needs, and aspirations of their constituencies into the Assembly, acting as a bridge between grassroot realities and our global pledge under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Task Force works with standing and select committees to embed SDG priorities into legislation, link budget allocations to measurable outcomes, and ensure constituency-level needs shape provincial strategies. This approach turns parliamentary decisions into tangible results such as providing safe drinking water in rural homes, creating better schools in underserved towns, and building resilient infrastructure in climate-vulnerable districts.
Our specialized caucuses on child rights, women’s empowerment, minority inclusion, disability rights, and climate adaptation strengthen this vision and ensure equity is embedded in every policy.
As we approach 2030, our task is clear, we will use our legislative authority, grassroots reach, and facilitation role to deliver progress that will be inclusive, accountable, and measurable. In Punjab, the 2030 Agenda is not just a global target, it is our local promise to grow together, leaving no one behind.
