This study sets out to examine how Punjab’s agricultural markets can transition from informal, middleman-dominated trading to a transparent, warehouse-based spot trading system built around electronic warehouse receipts (EWRs). Using field surveys, stakeholder consultations, and market analysis, the study aims to identify practical pathways for linking accredited warehouses, bank credit, insurance, and digital trading platforms so that farmers can store produce, access finance, and sell at fair market prices rather than being forced into distress sales at harvest.

This is a study to collect and analyze public expenditures on agriculture in Pakistan from 2019-2024, including donor-funded programs at federal and provincial levels. It aims to repurpose agricultural support for enhanced sector growth, higher incomes, increased resilience, and reduced environmental impact through evidence-based policy insights.

This review evaluated 82 grants between 2006 and 2024 supporting disaster risk management through risk analytics, mainstreaming, financial preparedness, and resilient recovery.

The Balochistan Livelihoods and Entrepreneurship Project (BLEP) has been implemented to address the pressing need for employment opportunities and sustainable enterprises in select districts of Balochistan, primarily focusing on the agriculture and food sectors. By contributing to various practice areas such as climate change, gender equality, and urban development, BLEP aims to uplift rural communities and enhance their livelihoods. Through careful monitoring and evaluation, the project has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure its impact on direct beneficiaries, job-focused interventions, and enterprise profitability. With allocated funds for economic mobilization, enterprise development, and project management, BLEP is committed to delivering tangible outcomes for an estimated 56,610 households, including refugees, residing in areas hosting refugee populations.  

The KPIAIP Mid-Term Third-Party Assessment (2023) reviewed progress on irrigated agriculture, water efficiency, and climate resilience in KP. Using desk review, surveys, KIIs, FGDs, and field missions, it evaluated implementation, outcomes, and gender integration. The project was an independent evaluation and policy advisory exercise, focused on improving irrigation systems, farmer capacity, and women’s participation in agriculture.
