Associate – NFP Reform, Climate Budget Tagging, & Debt Management (REMIT Programme)

Background   

The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) is a multi-year (2021 – 2028) program funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and is implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI). The program provides technical assistance (TA) to Pakistan with a broader objective to implesSment reforms for strengthening macroeconomic stability and improving conditions for high and sustained growth, mutual prosperity, job creation, and poverty reduction. The Programme works towards supporting the Government of Pakistan, its relevant ministries, institutions, and departments to strengthen revenue mobilization reforms/initiatives, address investment environment challenges, facilitate trade and drive competitiveness by reducing trade barriers, and improve the macroeconomic policy and its management.

Activity Context

Under its macroeconomic governance workstream, REMIT is providing targeted support to the Ministry of Finance (MoF) across three priority areas:

• Debt Management: Supporting the development and institutionalisation of a Domestic Debt Analytical Tool for the Debt Management Office (DMO) to improve forecasting, risk analysis, and transparency.

• Climate Budget Tagging (CBT): Assisting MoF in operationalising a system to track climate-related expenditures as part of its commitments under the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

• National Fiscal Pact (NFP): Supporting implementation of a landmark federal–provincial fiscal reform signed in 2024 to realign expenditures and responsibilities under the 18th Constitutional Amendment and IMF programme.

This role is essential to ensure that evidence from technical activities is compiled, formatted, and communicated effectively for use by the MoF and relevant stakeholders.
