Strengthening Social Protection Through Collaboration

The 2nd National Social Protection Conference is taking place in Karachi from 24^th – 26^th February 2025. The conference is being hosted by GIZ Pakistan, on behalf of the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is organized in collaboration with the federal and provincial governments, and in partnership with the KfW Development Bank, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the United Nations. 

Let’s have a look back on what we jointly agreed for the 1^st National Social Protection Conference in Bhurban in 2023: 

• Stronger Federal-Provincial Collaboration – A Coordination Committee was proposed to align efforts, avoid duplication, and improve delivery mechanisms. 

• Two-Way Data Sharing – Developing secure exchange protocols for social registries, climate data, and administrative systems. 

• Disaster Response Collaboration – Federal and provincial partners will coordinate with disaster management entities to develop joint disaster response plans. 

• Innovative Financing & Co-Funding Models – Exploring ways to pool resources for sustainable and shock-responsive social protection. 

As we move towards the 2nd National Social Protection Conference, we aim to build on these commitments, turning discussions into action. We are not just continuing the conversation—we are shaping the future of social protection in Pakistan.
