1) Governance reforms in Pakistan have devolved many SDG-related functions to provincial and district authorities, including increased provincial shares of the federal budget and devolution of implementation functions.
2) Tools for localizing the SDGs in Pakistan include aligning provincial development plans and budgets to SDGs, using multidimensional poverty indexes to target investments, improving sub-national data collection, and establishing coordination platforms.
3) While provinces have primary responsibility for SDG planning and implementation, districts have limited resources and financing authority, posing challenges to localizing the SDGs. Coordination across levels of government and organizations is needed to effectively implement the SDGs in Pakistan.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

9. Tools for SDG

1. Alignment of Provincial Annual

2. Multidimensional Poverty Index for
geographical targeting
3. Sub-national level data
4. SDGs Local Government diagnostic
online tool
5. Institutional coordination platform
10. 1. The provincial
Annual
Development Plan
is the major source
of SDG financing.
Its alignment to
SDGs is the key.
The first step is
mapping ADP
against SDGs.
Example: Punjab ADP
11. 2. District level
Multidimensional
Poverty Index is
useful in informing
public investment
decisions. Based
on MPI, Punjab
province has
allocated $ 50
million for the 10
bottom districts.
12. 3. Sub-national SDG
data disaggregation
is an important tool
for mobilizing
actions to “leave no
one behind”.
Unavailability of
sub-national
disaggregated data
is a challenge
though actions are
being taken.
• The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics has integrated some of
the data requirements in national survey
• A country wide MICS survey is being planned
14. 5. Institutional coordination is key to localization & mobilizing actions.

15. Lessons and
challenges in
Localizing the
SDGs
• There is not a single entry point
– requires work across
organizations and governments
• How to define alignment of
resources? - Need analysis
• Going micro: Aligning Govt.
planning / project documents to
SDGs
• Aligning interventions
• Technical solutions vs political
economy challenges: creating
political incentives
The coordination structure of the project is as follows:
A national steering committee also being called Project Board will oversee the whole project.
SDGs Support Units have been established - one at federal level and the remaining at provincial/regional level
A provincial technical committee consisting of all relevant provincial stakeholders including the civil society and private sector will coordinate and oversee the activities of the provincial SDG Unit.
Thematic working groups or communities of practice for various sectors will be established within each province to collaborate with SDGs Support Units and provide technical insights.
Other coordinating bodies at federal level include the Federal Cabinet Committee and Parliamentary Secretariat on SDGs. Similarly, a provincial cabinet committee will also be formed in each province to engage MPAs.
The objective of these bodies will be to facilitate in horizontal and vertical coordination across the project and provide the needed coordination mechanism
