This House congratulates the Honorable Speaker on his initiative of establishing the Parliamentary Task Force on Sustainable Development Goals, which enabled the Pakistan’s Parliament to lead the global development agenda among the community of global Parliamentary fraternity. The fact that Pakistan’s Parliament is the first Parliament in the world to have a fully functional and state-of-the-art SDGs Secretariat has also been acknowledged by international parliamentary organizations and partners as an example to follow. This House also acknowledges that on the recommendations of the Honorable Speaker, the provincial legislatures also established similar task forces, which worked in close liaison with the Federal Parliamentary Task Force thus leading the parliamentary sustainable development agenda by having evidence based oversight, representation and legislation. In view of the achievement of this benchmark, this House recommends that the Parliamentary Task Force on SDGs be made a permanent feature for future Parliaments to follow. |
