Pakistan

About

IGC Pakistan connects researchers, policymakers and practitioners to design and implement practical, evidence-based reforms across four core themes: state effectiveness, firms, cities and energy/environment. Our work addresses challenges such as revitalising industry, upgrading urban infrastructure and expanding economic opportunities for women.

Since 2010, we have partnered with federal, provincial and local governments as well as the private sector on projects in energy efficiency, urban transport, taxation, regional trade and governance reform. Our current initiatives include strengthening revenue systems, supporting export-oriented industries, improving city services and reducing barriers to women’s mobility.

We are based at the country’s leading academic institution, the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) with an additional city office in central Lahore. We aim to continue leveraging our extensive network of researchers and policymakers to deliver policy advice to the government and foster collaborative partnerships between policymakers and leading international researchers.
