Pakistan in the 21st Century
Pakistan in the 21st Century: Vision 2030
Executive Summary
1. Introduction
A Vision is like a dream but which is experienced with both eyes open and
With one’s feet on the ground. The Medium Term Development Framework
(MTDF) 2005-10 launched by the Government in July 2005 presented the
Vision of a “developed, industrialized, just and prosperous Pakistan through
Rapid and sustainable development, in a resource constrained economy by
Deploying knowledge inputs”. Vision 2030 extends that dream further and
Higher in terms of space and time.
The draft document of Vision 2030 has been prepared, after a consultative
Process spread over two years. It presents a strategic framework for
Overcoming obstacles and challenges standing in the way of the preferred
Future chosen by the people of Pakistan.
We aim to achieve the stated Vision within a generation, in a manner that
Sustains a high quality of life and provides an equal opportunity to its citizens
To reach their true potential. We plan to meet contemporary and future
Challenges by deploying knowledge inputs and developing human capital.
This, we believe, is the substance of the Vision in our mind.
The Vision document necessarily combines idealism with a sense of the possible. Its goals reflect the aspirations and potential of our people in the
Context of a fast-changing world. The Vision 2030 exercise considers a range
Of futures with concomitant strategic alignments. Yet the underlying theme is
To embrace needed transformation and to create new opportunities based on
Our innate strengths. This is the basic theme of Vision 2030.
Growing at a rate of around 7-8 percent per annum Pakistan expects to join
The ranks of middle-income countries, with a GDP of around US $ 4,000 by
2030. This high growth rate would be sustained through developing its
Human resources, and by developing the necessary physical and technological
Infrastructure.
The citizen shall have greater access to quality education, as well as basic
Amenities
