A Decade of Advancing Sustainable Development Through Nationwide Capacity Building by the SDGs Founder (2014–2025) 

The foundation of SDGs Consultants was built on Ghulam Murtaza’s decade-long leadership in capacity-building programs across Pakistan. Between 2014 and 2025, he led over 300 training initiatives, empowering 8,500+ stakeholders—including youth, imams, madrassah teachers, women, media influencers, and political actors—in partnership with leading civil society organizations. Backed by major donors such as USAID, EU, NED, the U.S. Consulate, Norwegian Church Aid, and RELO, these programs spanned Islamabad, Punjab, Sindh, KP, Balochistan, and the NMDs. By primarily focusing on advancing SDG 4 (Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 16 (Peace & Justice), his work addressed core challenges like employability programs for youth, post-conflict recovery, low literacy, climate vulnerability, and social exclusion. This experience forms the backbone of SDGs Consultants’ mission to deliver scalable, inclusive, and evidence-based solutions for sustainable development.
