Big news for development economics! Congratulations to @ideadevecon on the launch of IDEA. We're excited to welcome IDEA President Prof. Yang as a Plenary Speaker at #ADE2026! idea.devecon.org/about.html @Lahore_School @Innovate_Centre @ideadevecon @deanyang @The_IGC @CDPRPak

Speaking at a #NHDR2027 Focus Group Discussion, jointly led by @UNDP_Pakistan and CDPR, Dr. Lubna Naz, Professor of Economics and Director @ibakhiofficial, made the case that Pakistan's informal economy isn't a weakness, its resilience hiding in plain sight. She highlighted how informal workers, including youth, migrants and women, keep the economy moving while remaining outside social protection, legal protection and fair wages. #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

🎙️ New episode of #LetsTalkDevelopment! Drawing on @IGC_Pakistan's research, Dr. Sabrin Beg and Ms. Angbeen Mirza discuss how digitising land records in Punjab strengthened women's inheritance rights and reshaped marriage, education, and family dynamics.

#UNDPinPakistan and @CDPRPak convened a group of leading economists for Focus Group Discussions under #NHDR2027. The conversation centered on diaspora remittances, population growth, and Pakistan's "trust deficit" around tax compliance. A recurring question: is low compliance an enforcement problem, or a breakdown in the social contract between citizens and the state? #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

Structural reforms aren't optional, that was the message from Dr. Zainab Ahmed, Deputy Director, @BNULahore, at a #NHDR2027 Focus Group Discussion convened by @UNDP_Pakistan and CDPR. She made the case for inclusion-centric institutional transformation, arguing that with nearly 40% of Pakistan living below the poverty line, the individual must be the center of gravity in development planning. #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

Only 13% of women in Pakistan ever inherit their father's agricultural land - even though the law guarantees their Sharia-mandated share. In the upcoming episode of Let's Talk Development, Dr. Sabrin Beg (University of Delaware) tells host Angbeen Atif Mirza (LUMS) how something as simple as digitising land records in Punjab is closing that gap - no new law, just a procedural fix that's reshaping inheritance, marriage decisions, and family dynamics across Pakistan. 🎙️ #LetsTalkDevelopment #WomensRights #LandReform #Pakistan #IGC @IGC_Pakistan

Journalists and private sector leaders joined #UNDPinPakistan's #NHDR2027 Focus Group Discussions, led by @CDPRPak. The conversation spanned the political economy of media coverage, the social sector's struggle for airtime, and the skills gap private employers absorb every day. A recurring thread: Pakistan's structural challenges are often felt long before they're reported or budgeted for. #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

At a Focus Group Discussion held under the #NHDR2027, led by @UNDP_Pakistan and CDPR, Abid Raza, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, @PU_OfficialPK, made the case for putting the rural sector front and center. 🌾 He pointed to it as Pakistan's "low-hanging fruit" for development, and raised a harder question: with a growing mismatch between degrees and jobs, what will the country's youth bulge be doing for work in the next 5-10 years? #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind @AliHasanain @umairjav @GhaziGJ @samuelrizk @van_ntn @malikumerakhlaq @HDRUNDP @PlanComPakistan @Financegovpk

Academics, think tanks and NGOs came together for #UNDPinPakistan’s #NHDR2027 Focus Group Discussions. Led by @CDPRPak, the conversation tackled institutional trust, the disconnect between education and the labor market, gender exclusion, and climate change as an emerging human development determinant. A recurring question: is exclusion in Pakistan a failure of delivery, or a deeper breakdown of trust between citizens and the state? #PakistanNHDR #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

#UNDPinPakistan and @CDPRPak convened senior government representatives from across Pakistan’s provinces for Focus Group Discussions for the #NHDR2027. Conversations centered on governance gaps, weak data systems, and digital transformation as critical levers for human development. From decentralization to climate resilience, the discussion fed directly into #PakistanNHDR exploration of how macroeconomic stabilization translates into real human development outcomes. #HumanDevelopment #LeaveNoOneBehind

Together, @UNDP_Pakistan and @CDPR are shaping Pakistan's next big development story 🇵🇰 We brought together leading think tanks, NGOs, and academia for a Focus Group Discussion conceptualising the theme of the upcoming National Human Development Report. The conversation reinforced that Pakistan’s human development story is ultimately about people - their choices, opportunities, and the systems needed to help them thrive. #NHDRPakistan #HumanDevelopment #NHDR2027

What best helps communities in Pakistan cope with hardship and crisis?

As we shape #NHDR2027 by @UNDP_Pakistan, we want to hear your priorities, concerns, and vision for the country's future. Which group faces the greatest barriers to improving their living standards?
