ieConnect adopts a holistic approach to transport research and evaluation in Pakistan, with work focused on infrastructure and its relationship with economic activity and human capital. The team began working in the country by assessing the comprehensive effects of major road investments, which aim to integrate markets, reduce road accidents, improve trade, and drive economic growth. Building on this experience, ieConnect was positioned to actively monitor the socio-economic and infrastructural impacts of the devastating 2022 floods in Sindh and Baluchistan, providing vital analysis to support ongoing reconstruction and inform the design of climate-resilient infrastructure. Complementing the infrastructure-focused efforts, the team partnered with the South Asia Gender Innovation Lab, the Transport and Education Global Practice, and the Government of Pakistan to address the gender gap in education by evaluating the provision of subsidized, safe transportation for middle school girls in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The findings are expected to add scientific evidence on effective policies concerning mobility and safety of women and inform the scale-up of the intervention.
