Led by TPP Principal Ben French and in collaboration with Tabadlab, this project supports the British High Commission (BHC) in Pakistan to embed politically informed, adaptive approaches across policy influencing and development programming. The work helps BHC teams move beyond technical solutions by systematically integrating political economy analysis and Thinking and Working Politically principles into strategy, programme design and delivery.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) undertakes governance and anti-corruption assessments which incorporate political economy perspectives. They form part of the IMF's policy dialogues with governments and are published. 

The Policy Practice, led by TPP Principal Simon Brook, with TPP Principals Niki Palmer and Sam Bickersteth, and local consultants Ali Tauqeer Sheikh and Ameer Khan, undertook a climate, conflict and security risk assessment in Pakistan.

The Policy Practice has been assisting the World Bank Governance Practice pilot clinics and a training course to support the roll-out of its new GovEnable approach since January 2023.
