Abstract
Empowerment under the local self-government system is a long- awaited desire of the citizens of Pakistan. As Pakistan is a land
of diverse cultures and traditions, a single formula for all the
decentralizing units would never serve the purpose of
empowerment of marginalized communities and national
development. Thus, the local government system is the only
way to strengthen Pakistan's democratization and the issues at
grass root level. This research paper is an analysis of the
Department of Political Science and International Relations of
Government College University Faisalabad that illustrates the
effectiveness of local government systems, pro-poor budgeting,
and policies for marginalized communities, supported by the
Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan. The study was
outlined in the light of international agreements, considering the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to gender
equality, social inclusion, and reducing inequalities at large. The
mixed-method methodology explicitly helped the research team
to collect data through primary as well as secondary sources.
The research team concludes that the findings would arrest the
attention of different social actors such as policymakers, the law
enforcement agencies/authorities, and rights holders to identify
and play their respective roles for the development of Pakistan.
