Country Overview

The U.S. and Pakistan have worked together for more than 76 years on issues that are important to both nations. The USAID/Pakistan Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) for 2023-2028 aims to make Pakistan stronger and more fairer. It focuses on helping people get better healthcare and education, making sure women can work and earn money, improving how the government works, and protecting people's rights. It also focuses on localization which will help the economy grow in a way that can handle problems like floods and other emergencies. The strategy has three main goals: making the economy stronger, making the government better, and making people healthier and smarter. In light of past disasters, particularly the significant floods of 2022, proactive measures are integrated to enhance disaster preparedness and response. Moreover, the strategy underscores the importance of addressing climate change and ensuring equitable opportunities for all, especially the youth. Ultimately, the CDCS seeks to catalyze Pakistan's growth trajectory and create a more equitable and prosperous society.
