The Sustainable Social Development Organization (SSDO), with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), successfully organized a two-day capacity-building workshop on “Inclusive and Gender-Responsive Delivery of Environmental Rights” in Multan.

The workshop brought together 35 participants from Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Muzaffargarh, representing government departments, regulatory bodies, civil society, minority groups, and academia, to strengthen inclusive, rights-based, and gender-responsive environmental governance.

Participants enhanced their understanding of environmental justice, gender equality, intersectionality, and climate-responsive policymaking, while jointly developing district-level action plans focused on deforestation control, flood preparedness, community-based risk mitigation, and sustainable disaster response.

As part of the initiative’s sustainability efforts, the developed action plans and Training of Trainers (TOT) module were shared with relevant departments for integration into district planning processes. SSDO remains committed to continued engagement with provincial and district authorities through follow-up consultations and technical support to advance inclusive, gender-responsive, and rights-based environmental action across South Punjab.
