Adam Smith International

<div>AML / CFT Expert
Background
The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) programme (2021&ndash;2027), funded by the UK&rsquo;s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI), provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to strengthen macroeconomic stability, enhance governance systems, and improve conditions for sustainable economic growth.
A central component of this support is the implementation of the Prime Minister&rsquo;s Economic Governance Reforms (PM-EGR), a comprehensive, time-bound reform programme approved on 31 December 2025. The PM-EGR spans 15 priority reform areas and 141 action items and is recognised as a Structural Benchmark under the IMF Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
A key reform area under PM-EGR focuses on strengthening anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and countering financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) frameworks, aimed at improving financial integrity, reducing illicit financial flows, and enhancing transparency and accountability across institutions.
To support implementation, a Technical Unit (TU) has been established within the Ministry of Finance to serve as the central coordination, analytical, and reporting hub, alongside structured Policy Dialogue mechanisms (Economic Reform Conferences) to review progress and support reform course correction.
Activity Context
Pakistan has made significant progress in strengthening its AML/CFT regime, including institutional reforms, legislative amendments, and improved coordination mechanisms. However, key challenges remain, including:<ul><li>
Limited integration of AML/CFT measures with broader anti-corruption frameworks</li><li>
Weak institutional coordination across enforcement and oversight bodies</li><li>
Gaps in risk-based approaches to corruption and financial crime</li><li>
Limited use of financial intelligence in enforcement actions</li><li>
Capacity constraints in investigation, prosecution, and asset recovery</li></ul>
Under PM-EGR, AML/CFT reforms aim to:<ul><li>
Strengthen institutional coordination and governance structures</li><li>
Improve risk-based approaches to corruption and financial crime</li><li>
Enhance financial intelligence generation and utilisation</li><li>
Strengthen enforcement capacity and inter-agency collaboration</li><li>
Align AML/CFT reforms with broader governance and anti-corruption objectives</li></ul>
The AML/CFT Expert will provide high-level technical advisory support to ensure that reforms are coherent, outcome-oriented, and aligned with international standards, including FATF recommendations.
Job Summary
The AML/CFT Expert will provide senior technical expertise on anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and financial integrity reforms under PM-EGR.
The role will support reform design, policy dialogue processes, and implementation guidance, ensuring that AML/CFT reforms are effectively integrated into broader governance and anti-corruption frameworks and aligned with international best practices.

Manager (Policy & Strategy)

<div>Associate (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) &ndash; Provincial Climate Budget Tagging
Background 
The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) is a multi-year (2021&ndash;2027) programme funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI). REMIT provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to strengthen macroeconomic stability, improve growth conditions, and enhance poverty reduction efforts.
A central part of this work is the development and institutionalisation of Climate Budget Tagging (CBT) and Gender Budget Tagging (GDT), which systematically classify, track, and report climate- and gender-relevant public expenditures at the federal and provincial levels. CBT and GDT aim to strengthen transparency, accountability, and alignment of public spending with Pakistan's commitments under frameworks such as the IMF's Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework, and SDG 5 on gender equality.
Activity Context 
The Government of Pakistan has prioritised transparent, accountable, and climate-resilient public financial management. As part of this agenda, REMIT is supporting the institutionalisation of Climate Budget Tagging (CBT) and Gender Budget Tagging (GDT) &ndash; systems for identifying, classifying, and reporting on climate- and gender-related public expenditures across all levels of government.
Following successful implementation at the federal level across three budget cycles (FY 2022&ndash;23 to FY 2024&ndash;25), and in line with the IMF's Extended Fund Facility (EFF) benchmarks, REMIT has expanded the initiative to all four provinces and two regions. The Ministry of Finance has requested REMIT to work with the provincial and regional governments of Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Azad Jammu &amp; Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan to carry out climate and gender budget tagging of their budgets.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa faces significant climate vulnerabilities including glacial lake outburst floods and extreme weather events. As part of this REMIT-supported activity, the KP Finance Department has nominated focal persons, integrated CBT and GDT provisions into the Budget Call Circular, and conducted training for line agencies. Tagging of the non-development budget has been completed.
The remaining work covers: tagging of development budgets (PC-1s), finalization of the FY 2026-27 tagged budget, preparation of climate and gender budget statements, institutionalisation workshops, FABS integration, and analytical reporting.

It is a leading provider of conservation data, assessments and analysis. Its broad membership enables IUCN to fill the role of incubator and trusted repository of best practices, tools and international standards.
 
 
 IUCN provides a neutral space in which diverse stakeholders including governments, NGOs, scientists, businesses, local communities, indigenous peoples organisations and others can work together to forge and implement solutions to environmental challenges and achieve sustainable development.
