The Planning and Development Department (P&DD), Government of Sindh, has announced multiple vacancies under its Climate and Environment Department project unit (CED), along with a separate category of Research Associate posts for fresh graduates. The advertisement, reference INF/KRY/4189/26, was published in daily Express on 26 September 2026.
P&DD functions as the province’s central planning and policy body — it coordinates development sectors and projects across departments, monitors implementation, and advises the provincial government on development priorities. This particular recruitment sits within a specific project unit (CED) focused on climate-related planning work, which explains why several posts specifically require climate finance, carbon markets, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) expertise — skill areas not typically seen in general provincial recruitment.
