Senior Specialist (Data Integrity Reports & Methodology) - REMIT Programme

Senior Public Sector Systems Specialist (Data Integrity Reports & Methodology) – Climate Budget Tagging

Background

The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) programme (2021–2028), funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI), is providing technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to strengthen macroeconomic management, improve domestic resource mobilisation, and support resilient, sustainable development.

A core part of this support is Climate Budget Tagging (CBT)—a structured approach to identify, classify, and report on public expenditures relevant to climate mitigation, adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and gender responsiveness. CBT aims to improve transparency, accountability, and alignment of public spending with Pakistan’s commitments under the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework, and the Sustainable Development Goals.

Activity Context

CBT implementation at the federal level involves developing tagging methodologies, applying them to federal budgets (including subsidies, SOEs, and climate-negative expenditures), and supporting reporting requirements under IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF).

The initiative also includes integrating climate-tagged data into routine fiscal reporting processes, conducting variance analyses, classifying mitigation and adaptation spending, and preparing analytic outputs that inform policy and budget decisions.
