Abstract

This study examines Pakistan's efforts in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (SDG 1) of eliminating poverty. Despite the government's commitment to SDGs in 2016, various challenges persist, including a growing population and the need for resilient public institutions. The research explores the role of public policymakers and government institutions in tackling poverty and analyzes the impact of social protection and poverty alleviation programs like the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) Ehsaas Program and Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP). It also investigates government initiatives in microfinancing as an effective tool to reduce poverty. The study involves secondary data analysis from various sources including government websites, published papers, governmental reports, media publications, and policy documents. The paper aims to evaluate the role of the state as a partner, catalyst, or facilitator in poverty eradication policies and provides valuable strategies for policymakers and public managers to implement innovative solutions for poverty eradication
