REMIT provides technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan to strengthen macroeconomic stability, improve growth conditions, and enhance poverty reduction efforts.</p><p>
A central part of this work is the development and institutionalisation of <b>Climate Budget Tagging (CBT)</b> and <b>Gender Budget Tagging (GDT)</b>, which systematically classify, track, and report climate- and gender-relevant public expenditures at the federal and provincial levels.
