PSDF, SD&ED and the World Bank Group convened a high-level roundtable on “Skills for Growth: Outcome-Based Funding - Linking Training to GDP Growth,” bringing together leaders from government, industry and the TVET sector to explore how skills investments can drive jobs, productivity and economic growth. Chaired by Dr. Mamta Murthi, Vice President for People at the World Bank Group, and moderated by PSDF CEO, Ahmed Khan, the discussion focused on outcome-based financing, qualifications recognition, labour mobility, certification frameworks, and stronger industry alignment. Adnan Afzal Chattha, Chairperson CM Punjab Task Force on Skills Development, highlighted Punjab’s commitment to aligning with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) under CM Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s vision to position Punjab as a global hub of skilled manpower. Particular focus was given to the HRH and ITO sectors, alongside key challenges including federal-provincial coordination and certification gaps limiting access to European labour markets. @WBG_Pakistan @MamtaMurthi @WorldBankGroup @AdnanChatthapk @GovtofPunjabPK @MaryamNSharif #PSDF #WorldBank #TVET #SkillsForSuccess #EconomicGrowth #Certifications #GDP #Employment #SkilledYouth #GovernmentOfPunjab #MaryamNawaz

PSDF held a meeting with Dr. Ishrat Hussain, Advisor for Institutional Reforms and Austerity of Pakistan and Former Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), to discuss the future of skills development and workforce transformation. The conversation emphasized the need for credential-based training that combines social, technical, and digital skills; a stronger reliance on labour market intelligence and global demand signals to identify priority sectors and deliver sustainable and measurable outcomes. With Engineering, Electronics, and Pharmaceuticals identified among Pakistan’s high-potential export sectors, the future of skills development must be increasingly demand-driven, data-informed, and focused on creating value for both workers and employers in domestic and international markets. @StateBank_Pak #PSDF #IshratHussain #SkillsForSuccess #SectorStudy #PakistanEconomy #HumanCapital #SkillsDevelopment #Economist

PSDF joined senior representatives from government, industry, and development partners at “Pakistan Works: Building the Jobs and Skills Agenda”, a high-level dialogue hosted by the The World Bank Group alongside the European Union in Pakistan, Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Pakistan Business Council. The discussion centred on some of the most pressing issues facing the sector today: strengthening trust in qualifications, shifting from enrolment-based funding to employment outcomes, and building a more effective labour mobility ecosystem that connects skilled talent to opportunities. PSDF CEO, Ahmed Khan, participated in the ‘Financing the Jobs Agenda’ panel, highlighting the importance of outcome-based financing as a mechanism to align incentives, improve accountability, and mobilise both public and private investment in skills development. As Pakistan continues to navigate a rapidly evolving labour market, collaborative action and outcome-focused reforms will be critical to building a workforce that is competitive, employable, and future-ready. @WBG_Pakistan @EUPakistan @PakistanADB #PSDF #SkillsForSuccess #FutureOfWork #WorldBank #SkillsAgenda
