Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of vocational training imparted by Federally Administered Tribal Area’s Development Authority (FATA-DA) in the socio-economic and political development of the tribal community in Pakistan. The survey was initiated in the year 2019. Total 400 male youth in the age group (16-35 years) were selected for data collection from all over FATA. The disproportionate simple random sampling procedure was adopted. Cross Tabulation Analysis was used for the analysis of data by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicate that vocational training imparted by FATA-DA contributed very less to socio-economic and political change and development in FATA. Among 13 parameters of social change, the result on only 02 parameters was found significant. It is likely, that weaknesses on certain quality parameters, i.e., vocational curriculum, training duration, learning environment, trainer interest and education, career counseling, post-training financial support and internship facility might have hindered the positive influence of vocational training of FATA-DA on socio-economic and political development of FATA’s youth. This study concluded that vocational training does have the contribution to socio-economic and political change but in the case of FATA-DA training, the impact was not desirable. It is recommended that quality parameters must be taken into consideration during the initiation of a vocational training program for social change and youth development. This study adds valuable stuff to the literature in the sense that this is the first ever impact study of FATA-DA vocational trainings.
