SDGs and Health, Education and Economic Well Being in Pakistan

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the situation in Pakistan in terms of attainment of SDGs 3, 4 and 8. The SDGs hold utmost importance for a country with low human development indicators like Pakistan. Even though Pakistan was the first country to officially endorse the 2030 Agenda in 2015, the attainment of SDGs remains slow and behind the schedule. The synchronization of the SDGs with development initiatives as big as CPEC can help in quick and effective implementation of the objectives of these two separate agendas with almost similar goals of betterment of the common people.
