About CIPE Pakistan

While CIPE has supported programs in Pakistan in the past, this is the first time it has established an “on the ground” presence in this strategic country. CIPE’s primary role in Pakistan is to support its local partners’ efforts to improve the business environment through advocacy and policy dialogue. CIPE works with local market reform-oriented chambers of commerce and business associations interested in supporting Pakistan’s emergence into the global economy. It will also help the business community become more constructively engaged in the policy debate shaping Pakistan’s economic future.

CIPE’s main activities are related to institutional capacity building. Core areas of interest are:

• Policy Advocacy & Economic Reforms
• Business Association Development
• Corporate Governance
• Access to Information
• Training Workshops
