Although DEPs have been made in many districts of Pakistan earlier but this is unique as it incorporates the focus on child labor and the challenges of achieving the goals of ILO Convention 182. It is an instrument to help focus policies and their implementation through evidence based planning and budgeting which includes data analysis, strategies, targets, responsibilities and budgets. District Education Plan is a tool to help build partnerships for education across a range of stake holders, effectively meet the goals of EFA and MDGs through a maximum mobilization of resources and their timely utilization. I sincerely hope that this three year plan (2007-2010) will be a useful and practical guiding tool to help us achieve our targets for a child labor free district and provide quality education to our children, youth and adults as their basic right. I also congratulate the City District Government, Department of Education, Rawalpindi and the Team members who were assigned to prepare the plan which is precise, comprehensive and a result oriented action tool. Raja Javed Ikhlas Zila Nazim City District Rawalpindi District Education Plan (DEP) Rawalpindi 8/75 Message: District Coordination Officer Rawalpindi Ever since devolution in 2001 District Governments are challenged to undertake their own local level planning and target setting. This is a very rigorous task requiring new set of skills matched against various planning frameworks introduced at national and provincial levels, such as the PRSP and the Medium Term Development Framework and budgeting templates. We at the City District Government Rawalpindi are most fortunate to be amongst the handful of districts who have undertaken district based planning meticulously shifting through evidence and data bases to ensure that the target setting would be realistic and reflects our real needs and milestones. This undertaking would not have been possible without the technical support from the International Labor Organizations and Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) Public Trust, our partners in a child labor and capacity building project to eliminate the worst forms of child labor in the rag picking sector in Rawalpindi. The opportunity provided as a result of this collaboration to widen our horizon for education planning covering all the children especially the most disadvantaged, has been a vital one for us to ensure inclusive integrated understanding of the education and literacy challenges facing Rawalpindi We pledge to systematically review the DEP annually, our objectives and targets to see how we have practically engaged in implementation, what could have been done better, so that the same could be reflected in a three year rolling plan, that the DEP is meant to be. We pledge to mobilize and use resources intelligently to ensure that the worst off in our district are cared for and provided for to improve their livelihoods through education, literacy and training. We pledge also to collaborate more proactively across, the departments for inter-sectoral optimization, with civil society and private sectors as vital partnerships to help us meet our vision, objectives and targets. We look forward to a very dynamic three years of implementing this District Education Plan (DEP) 2007 to 2010 with a focus on reaching the unreached and protecting the vulnerable in City District Rawalpindi. Mr. Irfan Elahi DCO Rawalpindi District Education Plan (DEP) Rawalpindi 9/75 Message: EDO Education Rawalpindi It has been a very important endeavour for the Department of Education, City District Rawalpindi to develop a three year District Education Plan (DEP) 2007-2010 It is also my good fortune for my teams to have had the technical support of our partner organization Idara- e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) who helped us to mobilize a group of stakeholders from the public and private sectors to accomplish the task consultatively.
