 KEY ENABLERS

• ENABLER I : SHARED VISION

• ENABLER II : POLITICAL STABILITY & CONTINUITY OF POLICIES
• ENABLER III : PEACE AND SECURITY
• ENABLER IV : RULE OF LAW
• ENABLER V : SOCIAL JUSTICE
 ENABLER I : SHARED VISION

• Transformational change begins with a compelling vision. Transformational change is only

possible if all Pakistanis take ownership of the Vision, and contribute positively to the
process of change. This is the only true guarantee that the Vision will be implemented and
our common goals achieved.
 ENABLER II : POLITICAL STABILITY &
CONTINUITY OF POLICIES

• If we look at the recent successes in development by Japan, South Korea, Singapore,

Malaysia, China and Turkey, political stability and continuity of policies comes out as a
common thread. No country has developed with instability and chaos. Pakistan needs a
prolonged period of political and economic stability, which will have an enormous impact
on economic growth, income generation, human development and income distribution.
 ENABLER III : PEACE AND SECURITY

• Without an environment of peace and security, economic development can neither be

meaningful nor sustainable. Increased investment, growth and economic revival are
impossible without peace and security. Wars, extremism and terrorism have caused
enormous loss to our society, economy and national image. Externally Pakistan desires
“Peace with dignity”. Internally we seek to create a secure environment where life,
property, civil liberty and socio-economic rights of the citizens are protected and they are
able to live and prosper in harmony, freedom, respect and dignity as enshrined in the
constitution.
 ENABLER IV : RULE OF LAW

• Sustained growth and development does not take place in an environment which is not
characterized by the supremacy of the rule of law. Therefore, establishment and
application of the rule of law - which includes but is not limited to: enforcing contracts,
regulating the market, breaking barriers to competition and the protection of the
fundamental rights of every Pakistani citizen, is a necessary condition for the realization of
the Vision.
 ENABLER V : SOCIAL JUSTICE

• Social justice and economic development are integral and complement each other to
establish a moral and just society. In Islam, Social Justice as a concept refers to equality in
giving rights and in abiding by obligations without discrimination for any reason, either for
religion, race, color and creed. Our focus will be on creating a caring society, where
dividends of prosperity and development are shared by all.

 PILLAR I PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST -
DEVELOPING HUMAN AND SOCIAL CAPITAL

• The first priority is to provide every citizen the ability to improve his/her choices and
quality of life. This requires capitalizing upon and strengthening existing social capital,
improving the human skill base of the population, and providing access to opportunities for
advancement. It involves a rapid scaling-up of investments in education, health and social
development, generating jobs and prospects for the youth bulge, harnessing the rising
power of a socially aware population, gender equality and women’s development,
inclusion of vulnerable segments, interfaith harmony and religious diversity, promotion of
art, culture and heritage, raising sporting standards, and moving towards a knowledge-
based, ethical and values driven society.
 PILLAR II ACHIEVING SUSTAINED,
INDIGENOUS AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH

• Pakistan Vision 2025 seek to revive and sustain the growth momentum consistent with environmental
limits and equity considerations. The objective is to provide better living standards to every Pakistani
irrespective of caste, creed, or domicile, or religious or political affiliation. Every effort will be made to
overcome the manifold inequalities—horizontal and vertical, intra and inter-provincial, or rural and urban
inequalities. The Vision envisages a strategy for developing a united and equitable society through a
balanced development approach, social uplift and rapid broad based growth. This includes resource
mobilization through improved tax collection, export orientation, mobilizing the diaspora and attracting
private sector investment, radical improvements in productivity, provision of opportunities to all segments
of society, formalizing the parallel economy, urban development and smart cities and social protection
frameworks.
PILLAR III GOVERNANCE, INSTITUTIONAL REFORM
AND MODERNIZATION OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR

• The third pillar aims to ensure good governance; strengthen institutions such as parliament, judiciary,
police, and the civil service; and deliver the benefits of devolution of powers to provincial governments as
prescribed in the 18th Amendment. The Vision seeks an efficient and transparent government, which
operates under the rule of law and provides security of life and property to its people. Good governance
encompasses excellence in the management of political, economic, and administrative infrastructure, the
development of a skilled, motivated, results focused, “high performance” civil service, elimination of
corruption, Flat, Agile, Streamlined and Tech-enabled public sector, transparency on government
performance, and the building of an effective regulatory framework that leverages supporting technology
and global best practices.
 PILLAR IV ENERGY, WATER AND FOOD
SECURITY

• Pakistan Vision 2025 recognizes that sufficient, reliable, clean and cost-effective availability
of energy, water and food – for now and the future – is indispensable to ensure sustainable
economic growth and development. There is a need to fill the enormous gaps in these
areas, while simultaneously making efforts to respond to the looming threat of climate
change. There is a renewed national consensus—as articulated in the manifestoes of all
leading political parties—to commit major new resources through public and private sector
collaboration in these areas and ensure required production and storage capacities. At the
same time, efforts will be made towards conservation, efficient distribution and usage of
resources, and preventing contamination and environmental degradation.
 PILLAR V PRIVATE SECTOR &
ENTREPRENEURSHIP LED GROWTH

• Vision 2025 aims to make Pakistan a highly attractive destination for private sector investment,
with conditions that allow private investors to successfully participate in its development. This
will require a concerted focus on the areas that inhibit the private sector, including the energy
deficit, lack of security, labour skills, slow and costly judicial procedures (contract enforcement),
macroeconomic instability and ad hoc regulations. Public sector enterprises will be made
profitable and efficient through a combination of restructuring, partial and outright
privatization. Public private partnerships will be promoted through a comprehensive policy
regime. Attracting private sector investment will be a key priority and driver of growth. SME
sector will be aggressively developed and entrepreneurship enabled.
 PILLAR VI DEVELOPING A COMPETITIVE
KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY THROUGH VALUE ADDITION

• National competitiveness refers to the ability to produce and deliver products and services effectively and
profitably relative to competing countries. Improving national competitiveness is critical to ensure we
utilize our resources in a productive manner – based on merit, quality and innovation instead of
unproductive rent seeking. Vision 2025 envisages investment in the determinants of national
competitiveness, especially skill development, information and communication technologies, and
engagement in international markets. The foundations of a knowledge economy will be laid and Industry-
Academia linkage strengthened. Cluster based development approach will be used and value chain
improvements incentivised. Innovation, technology adoption and value addition will be encouraged.
Natural endowments will be tapped, and productivity enhanced across all factors.
 PILLAR VII MODERNIZING TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE AND GREATER REGIONAL
CONNECTIVITY

• Successful countries have invariably built upon the dynamism of their regional contexts.
Pakistan is situated at the nexus of the four most dynamic regions of the world—China, South
Asia, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Vision 2025 aims at the establishment of an efficient and
integrated system of communications and transport, in order to both benefit from and
contribute to the regional dynamism. Key related targets are reduction in transportation costs,
safety in mobility, effective connectivity between rural areas and markets/urban centres, inter-
provincial high-speed connectivity, integrated road/rail networks between economic hubs
(including air, sea and dry ports), high-capacity transportation corridors connecting major
regional partners and exponential growth in exports.
 IMPLEMENTATION

• In order to realize Vision 2025 effectively, well defined coordination mechanism among federating units including four provinces,
and special areas such as FATA, Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJ&K) is needed. The federation will be
strengthened by promoting inter-provincial and federal-provincial communication and coordination so that national and provincial
priorities are aligned, and the federal and provincial governments work together to reach common goals.
• Implementation plan of this Vision – to be delivered over a rigorously defined road-map and time-line – primary performance
indicator will be prepared. Key aspects that will enable the successful execution of this strategic undertaking include; sustained
executive commitment & support, improved resource mobilization and macroeconomic capacity, private sector engagement, and
radical improvement in productivity, engagement of Government-Private Sector, Academia and Citizens, creating and network of
Vision champions, bridging the Knowing-Doing gap, performance management and evaluation framework, and employing change
management tools.
