Partner government institutions in CARE are represented by officially designated Sectoral Focal Points (SFPs). Under CARE’s purview, these SFPs are consulted regularly to review the project implementation progress, share experiences, and provide recommendations for guiding project implementation.

The latest SFP meeting was held in Islamabad on 3rd July 2024. This SFP meeting builds on the project implementation progress and stakeholders’ recommendations shared/discussed during the SFP meeting held in July 2024 and the following months during the pilot testing stage.
