Across the world, governments increasingly recognise that the best investment a government can make is in its people, especially its children. When children are healthy, nourished and able to learn, they carry with them the promise of a stronger, more prosperous economical future. This understanding has shaped a growing global movement to integrate education with social protection and nutrition systems. One example is the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, launched at the G20 Leaders’ Summit to accelerate progress towards ending hunger and poverty while reducing inequality.
Pakistan joined the Alliance in November 2024, signalling its commitment to integrated solutions that bring together education, nutrition and social protection. Translating these global commitments into meaningful outcomes ultimately depends on action at the national and provincial levels.
