To eliminate poverty on a living planet, all countries need to increase the effects of climate change to their people and economies, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other damage to nature and the environment, “people say in a changing climate: a global report from a global bank.
Pakistan is at the crossroads of climate change, economic challenges and rural backwardness. With 62 % of the population living in rural areas (World Bank 2023), 37.4 % engaged in agriculture (Food and Agricultural Organization (Food and Agricultural Organization) and is engaged in drought, heatwave and frequent climate destruction in the form of floods, and is needed to recover from the urgency for societies.
While a large part of our workforce is increasing crops and increasing livestock, in rural areas – 80 % of the country’s poor population (World Bank, 2023) – cannot develop only by looking at crops. Development requires the construction of an environmental system that takes backward and forward contacts to promote self -reliance, local pride, economic diversity, social harmony and climate flexibility and reduce carbon maps. Poverty is a multi -dimensional trend that is represented by four important dimensions: health, education, asset ownership and residential conditions. Rural areas require investment in which people are included in the form of healthcare, education, water system and human result in energy energy.
It is inclined to a long -term change point that elimination of poverty should be combined with economic empowerment, climate, social services and social ownership. Regional approaches for local development (Tald) offers a strategic, space -based methodology to empower rural communities to the rural communities, the lower parts, and to empower rural communities through local ownership. Each area, such as the village cluster, tehsil or district-district-separate needs and capabilities, is recognized as a unique socio-economic unit, associated with local facts, celebrating the local culture and knowledge system, multilateral and multi-stakeholder intervention.
Given the vast network of partner organizations and deep community engagement models, Pakistan has been well -positioned to work as a national catalyst to implement the TLD in Pakistan. PPAF can facilitate the formation and implementation of local development projects regionally.
Apply to the concept of Model Village, which will mean that the formation of comprehensive local strategies developed by communities, civil society and local authorities-basic services, renewable energy, climate flexibility and local governance together into the regional project. From such a point of view, provincial and federal investments can help to align with lower levels, which can ensure long -term effects, local accountability and comprehensive economic growth.
Institutional experience and anchor style in the social capital, which has been informed of more than two decades of awareness of more than two decades of experience, has been informed of more than two decades, including the Goth Noor Mohammed, near Muzaffargarh, near Karachi and Ehsanpur. Is According to national priorities on poverty reduction and climate action, this concept is capable of developing the weakest districts of the country.
Model Village’s concept suggests promoting public private partnerships to facilitate access to rural producers, especially women and young people, to facilitate access to Digital Digital Tools, clean energy solutions and market links.
The five major pillars of this model are: 1) Enables local products and production prices, enables communities to access markets and tapped in private sector and public opportunities. 2) Take advantage of Natural Natural Assets and traditional knowledge of sustainable economic growth; 3) Improve employment by equipped with relevant skills and training; 4) The use of digital tools-from the commerce platform to the mobile wallet-especially to connect female business people with broader markets and financial services. And 5) Eliminate the gap between providing social services.
When we visit in the 21st century, global development talks are focused on rapidly changing changes: climate change and technological change. The 2019 Human Development Report warns that our ability to adopt and respond to them will explain the future of human development. The 2020 Human Development Report claims that local, nature -based solutions can move global change.
In this context, the concept of PPAF’s model has emerged as a local rural development intervention, led by a community -driven, climate -related and digital change. Social capital has been developed by organizing homes at the community, Village and Union Council level and construction of local government institutions and capabilities.
In this model, multi -dimensional poverty is resolved by investing simultaneously. Basic infrastructure and services; And environmental stability. Economic empowerment is to empower both individual and social levels through the support of assets transfer, skill training and business development.
Homes receive professional and technical training associated with market demand as well as market demand to start small businesses. To promote environmental stability and comprehensive development, green and nature -based industries, such as organic product development, environmental tourism and climate -related sector, have to be given special emphasis on agriculture.
This concept recommends improving the infrastructure and social services needed to enhance the standard of living in rural communities. Improving communication, reducing transactions costs and ensuring markets, education, health care and access to clean water creates a capable environment to promote economic activity. The concept is considered the development of green infrastructure, which is associated with the relevant green construction skills, the expected action, while promoting long -term community flexibility by connecting environmental protection with livelihood and social protection.
The World Bank’s 2023 report, development, climate and nature crisis: Solutions to eliminate poverty on a capable planet, emphasize the vital role of the private sector, not only in low emission, flexible infrastructure but also in the offer of green technology, modern business models and market solutions.
The Concept of Model Village suggests promoting public private partnerships to facilitate access to rural producers, especially women and young people, digital digital tools, clean energy solutions and market links, and expand their businesses and connect with wider consumer bases. An essential feature of this concept is associated with existing government programs, such as the Prime Minister’s interest -free loan scheme, to expand financial inclusion and mobilize economic growth.
The idea of Model Village is to create meaningful opportunities in the countryside and make sure that the local community is circulating several times before getting out of each rupee. The PPAF model Village Development approach is no more than just a development project-this is a map of the flexible and self-reliant parties.
Although infrastructure and basic services help unlock the capabilities, which anchor the economic activity locally through enterprise development, value editions and market links, this approach creates a self -reliant economy where wealth is generated, and investment is maintained.
In this point of view, the construction of a prominent planet has been made globally, where communities are not only protected from crises but also have the option of developing development through comprehensive, green and future -based development. Imagine this overall effect when we extend the Model Village to the tehsil level and create amodial tehsils in each of the 169 districts of the country!
