This brochure presents some of the highlights of IFPRI’s research, which has impacted Pakistani policies related to food rations and storage, energy subsidies, water management, poverty reduction, and other areas over the past 30 years.
IFPRI has engaged with Pakistan on these topics since the mid-1980s, including through a series of studies on agricultural productivity, agricultural markets, and water resource management in the country, carried out from 1986 to 1994. Prompted by a request for technical support from the Pakistani government’s Planning Commission, IFPRI launched the Pakistan Strategy Support Program (PSSP) in 2011, a country-led and country-wide policy analysis and capacitystrengthening program, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Since 2012, the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets, led by IFPRI, has provided additional funding to the PSSP.
