Pakistan's Key Decision-Makers Urged to Improve Strategic Planning

Pakistan's human development index falling below 144 and its human security indicators showing poor performance are signs of a lack of strategic vision and planning among key decision-makers in the country. This includes lawmakers, cabinet members, bureaucracy, judiciary, military, and some parts of the corporate sector. The effectiveness of state institutions greatly depends on the professionalism, competence, intelligence, and integrity of these individuals. These qualities directly impact the quality of planning and decision-making processes in Pakistan.

The human development index (HDI) is a measure of a country's overall achievement in its social and economic dimensions. When Pakistan's HDI drops below 144, it indicates that the country is facing challenges in areas such as education, healthcare, income, and overall standard of living. Human security indicators, on the other hand, assess the safety and well-being of individuals within a society. Poor performance in these indicators suggests that there may be issues related to crime, conflict, access to basic services, and overall stability.

It is crucial for Pakistan to address the deficiencies in its strategic vision and planning to improve its human development index and human security indicators. By ensuring that decision-makers possess the necessary professionalism, competence, intelligence, and integrity, the country can enhance the quality of its governance and decision-making processes. This, in turn, will contribute to a better future for all Pakistanis.
