The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is planning to provide financial support to 600,000 women and 450,000 children in Pakistan this year, according to a meeting between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and a delegation from the foundation led by Dr. Anita Zaidi. The initiative, which focuses on cash support, nutrition assistance, livelihoods training, and access to citizen facilitation centers, aims to improve human capital, child health, nutrition, maternal health, and women's economic participation in Pakistan.
The program, set to launch in South Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, combines these elements to benefit a total of 170,000 women and 450,000 children. Additionally, the foundation is exploring the use of artificial intelligence to enhance health outcomes, particularly in low-connectivity areas and on basic Android devices with local-language capabilities.
The meeting also addressed population growth and its impact on various aspects of health, nutrition, poverty, and education, emphasizing the need for stronger federal-provincial coordination, women's education and empowerment, and higher workforce participation.
