The purpose of this Policy Framework is to help decision makers (and other key stakeholders) understand the situation in Pakistan, and an overview of what needs to be implemented, based on the latest global evidence drawn from mainly Muslim countries on effective interventions for young people. The Framework does not present in any depth with “how to” implement the prevention education interventions within specific settings, although broad outlines of successful modalities are listed to provideguidance to provinces for adaptations to their specific needs. The Policy Framework attempts to take into account cultural, institutional and structural specificities and factorsthat confront decision makers in Pakistan and the social norms of our society.
