#UNDPinPakistan delegation led by Resident Representative Dr. @SamuelRizk held discussions with Additional Chief Secretary (Dev), Mr. Zahid Saleem, @PnDGoB @dpr_gob, in Quetta to chart the next chapter of our work together.

A partnership built to last — and to deliver. #Partnerships4Goals

Strong institutions are the backbone of #ClimateResilience. #UNDPinPakistan supported @dpr_gob to establish a new Climate Change Cell at its Climate Change & Environment Department — part of joint efforts on rights-based governance and climate security. The unit will help drive the Balochistan Climate Change Policy 2024 forward by: 🤝 Strengthening provincial coordination 📊 Building technical capacity ⚖️ Promoting rights-based climate action Because for the communities on the frontlines of climate risk in Balochistan, policy only matters when it reaches them.

Climate action that leaves women and girls behind is not climate security. Speaking on the gender-climate nexus, #UNDPinPakistan’s Deputy Resident Representative @Van_ntn asked who is most exposed, who is least protected, and who has the power to shape the response. “Climate security is about protecting lives, rights, and trust. Gender equality is one of its foundations,” she said.

For communities in Sindh still rebuilding after the 2022 floods, recovery means more than returning to how things were — it means building back stronger. With the support of the Republic of Korea through @KoicaPakistan, #UNDPinPakistan is helping flood-affected families in Dadu District restore their farmland, repair irrigation and village water supply systems, and strengthen local knowledge and capacity to manage water sustainably for the long term. This is what resilient recovery looks like: livelihoods restored, safer water within reach, and families better prepared for the future — together, UNDP 🇵🇰 and the Republic of Korea 🇰🇷 are moving communities from relief to lasting resilience. #PartnershipFortheGoals #FloodRecoveryProgramme #KOICA @UNDPSPC @KoreaEmbassyPK

"We opened our eyes into darkness. In our old age, we still live in darkness." For Muhammad Zaman and many rural families in Sindh, energy poverty has shaped daily life for generations.

As we shape #NHDR2027 by @UNDP_Pakistan, we want to hear your priorities, concerns, and vision for the country's future. What is one policy reform that would make the biggest difference in your community? Share your thoughts with us in replies.

A new chapter of resilience begins in Hanna Urak. This week, the housing handover ceremony marked a meaningful step forward for families still recovering from the devastating impact of the 2022 floods. With more than half of the 700 planned climate-resilient homes now completed, more families are beginning to rebuild their lives with greater safety, dignity, and hope. Supported by the 🇩🇪 Government of Germany, through @KfW_Islamabad, and in partnership with @dpr_gob, #UNDPinPakistan remains committed to supporting community-led recovery and long-term climate resilience and sustainable development. 🔗 Learn more: go.undp.org/ceV #FloodRecoveryProgramme #BuildforwardBetter #ClimateResilience
