Data Analyst (Climate Budget Tagging) - REMIT Programme

Background
The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) is a multi-year (2021–2027) programme funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI). REMIT provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to strengthen macroeconomic stability, improve growth conditions, and enhance poverty reduction efforts.

A central part of this work is the development and institutionalisation of Climate Budget Tagging (CBT), which systematically classifies, tracks, and reports climate-relevant public expenditures at the federal and provincial levels. CBT aims to strengthen transparency, accountability, and alignment of public spending with Pakistan’s commitments under frameworks such as the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework by promoting transparent, data-driven budgeting that supports resilient development outcomes.

Activity Context

The Government of Pakistan has prioritised transparent, accountable, and climate-resilient public financial management. As part of this agenda, REMIT is supporting the institutionalisation of CBT – a system for identifying, classifying, and reporting on climate-related public expenditures.

While federal-level tagging methodologies and reporting structures have been developed, a dedicated provincial and regional component is underway. The provincial budget tagging will engage with provincial finance departments, planning and development boards, and sectoral line departments to assess systems, capacities, and political economy factors. The outcome will be integrating CBT into provincial budgeting processes, enhancing climate-responsive planning, and ensuring alignment with national and international commitments.
