Pakistan Vision 2025 aimed to elevate Pakistan to an upper-middle-income country by 2025. A longer-term goal was to establish Pakistan as one of the top ten global economies by 2047. This overarching objective was supported by several key pillars focusing on various aspects of national development.
Pillars of Pakistan Vision 2025
The vision's success hinged on seven core pillars:
- People First: Investing in human capital development, particularly empowering women.
- Growth: Achieving sustained, indigenous, and inclusive economic growth.
- Governance: Strengthening democratic governance, implementing institutional reforms, and modernizing the public sector.
- Security: Ensuring energy, water, and food security for the nation.
- (Additional Pillars): While the exact remaining pillars aren't consistently detailed across all sources, other key areas of focus likely included sustainable development goals (SDGs), such as poverty reduction and improved health services. The specific details varied across different interpretations of the vision.
Achieving the Vision
The document served as a guiding framework for developing strategies and roadmaps to achieve these national goals and aspirations. It recognized that Pakistan, while a middle-income country economically, lagged behind in social development indicators. The intention was to bridge this gap and foster a more equitable and prosperous society.
