UNICEF and the Muslim World League have signed a $1.5 million agreement to implement the Green Skills Training Program in Pakistan, with support from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). The initiative aims to equip young people, particularly girls, with sustainable development and digital skills.
The partnership builds upon a 14-year collaboration between UNICEF and the Muslim World League in supporting children's development across various countries. This latest program specifically targets economically disadvantaged youth in Pakistan, with a strong emphasis on creating educational and employment opportunities for girls.
"This collaboration represents a significant step forward in providing essential skills for a sustainable future," stated a program representative. The initiative will focus on delivering modern training programs designed to enhance youth employability in emerging green sectors.
The program aligns with UNICEF's global mission of promoting child welfare, education, health, and rights protection. Through SIFC's facilitation, the project aims to strengthen Pakistan's economic prospects by developing a skilled youth workforce.
The initiative marks a continuation of UNICEF's established presence in Pakistan, where it has been working to create positive changes in children's lives through various educational and welfare programs.
SIFC's involvement is expected to streamline the program's implementation and enhance its effectiveness in reaching target communities across Pakistan. The council's support demonstrates a coordinated approach to youth development and economic growth through skills training.
This partnership represents part of a broader strategy to address youth unemployment and skills gaps in Pakistan's developing economy, with particular attention to sustainable development practices and digital literacy.
