Adam Smith International

<div>SEZ Incentives Phase Out &amp; Transition Plan &ndash; Institutional Analysis Expert
Background
The Revenue Mobilisation, Investment and Trade (REMIT) Programme, funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI), provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to improve the business environment, attract investment, and support sustainable economic growth.
Pakistan's Special Economic Zones (SEZs) framework has delivered limited results due to a range of institutional, governance, and coordination challenges. Fragmented responsibilities across federal and provincial authorities, weak monitoring mechanisms, overlapping mandates, and inconsistent implementation arrangements have constrained the effectiveness of the SEZ regime. These institutional weaknesses have contributed to delays in zone development, investor grievances, underutilisation of land and infrastructure, and limited progress toward achieving intended investment, industrialisation, and export objectives.
In response to these challenges, and in line with commitments under Pakistan's IMF programme, the Government of Pakistan is undertaking a comprehensive SEZ Phase-Out Implementation Plan to transition away from profit-based incentives toward a rules-based, fiscally sustainable framework anchored in cost- and performance-based facilitation. This transition requires a detailed assessment of the institutional architecture governing SEZs to identify governance gaps, coordination constraints, and implementation bottlenecks, while defining an effective institutional framework for the transition process.
As part of this effort, REMIT seeks to engage an SEZ Institutional Analysis Expert (Workstream-I Lead) to lead the institutional and governance assessment of Pakistan's SEZ regime and support the development of practical and implementable institutional reform recommendations.

The Expert will examine governance structures, mandates, coordination mechanisms, regulatory processes, stakeholder roles, and implementation arrangements to identify institutional strengths, weaknesses, and reform opportunities.
The Expert will work closely with the SEZ Policy &amp; Governance Lead, Fiscal &amp; Incentives Expert, Legal &amp; Contractual Expert, and other members of the technical team to ensure that the proposed transition framework is institutionally feasible, effectively coordinated, and aligned with broader investment and economic reform objectives. Through rigorous institutional analysis and stakeholder engagement, the Expert will help develop practical recommendations for improving governance, accountability, coordination, and implementation capacity within the SEZ ecosystem.
