Pakistan, the fifth most populous country globally, stands among the 15 nations where the population of people aged sixty and above surpasses 10 million. Presently, an estimated 6.9% of Pakistan's total population, approximately 16.5 million people, fall into this age bracket.

Recognizing the evolving dynamics of its population, Pakistan has embarked on a legislative journey to safeguard the rights and well-being of its older people. Notably, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh enacted Senior Citizens Welfare Acts in 2016. Additionally, a significant milestone was achieved at the federal level with the enactment of the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Senior Citizens Act in 2021. This pioneering legislation specifically addresses the rights and protection of older people within the Islamabad Capital Territory, marking a historic development in the realm of older people’s rights in Pakistan.

In partnership with the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany and HelpAge Germany, Foundation for Ageing and Inclusive Development has embarked on a 3-year project titled "Strengthening Legal Framework and Civil Society for an Inclusive Pakistan." This project is being executed in the Punjab province and the Islamabad Capital Territory, with the overarching objective of advancing the rights and inclusion of older people.

The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the effectiveness of the project’s interventions by examining its achievements and impact in relation to the defined project indicators. It aims to identify both intended and unintended positive effects, while highlighting the strengths and areas for improvement. The evaluation seeks to capture key lessons learned throughout the implementation process and provide actionable recommendations for enhancing the design and execution of similar projects in the future.
