Every mandate makes the same four moves for Pakistan. What changes is how deep we go, and how far the work travels toward market.
A private session for the people who decide.
Your team and ours, working the blueprint together.
Led personally by the President and CEO.
For the Government of Pakistan, its development partners and investors. Scope and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.
Deep green with a white crescent and star, and a white band for every faith that shares the land. You have rebuilt your reserves under one of the IMF’s largest programmes.
“You rebuilt your reserves under the hardest conditions. Now build a reader in every Pakistani classroom.”

Sovereign Assets
Each is owned today, earns today, and can lift Pakistan closer to Perfect Capita.
40 in every hundred live in towns and cities; the rest live on the land they farm and fish.
The land that feeds the nation, and the first place a citizen dividend can be earned.
Dense cities make every pipe, cable and clinic serve more people for each dollar spent.
Below the scarcity line of 1,000 cubic metres: every drop must be stored, treated and reused.
Sun, wind, water and biomass already carry part of the load; the rest is the opportunity.
What each asset is worth, and how far it can carry Pakistan toward Perfect Capita, is the question our research and our guests take up below.
Sovereign AssetsDesign Studio · Perfect Capita
The Living LineThe poverty line measures income. The Living Line measures a life: food, water, shelter, energy, education, health and livelihood. Perfect Capita is the yearly cost, per person, of lifting everyone above the Living Line in all seven basic living standards. Coverage scores each standard strictly out of 100, and a nation is held at its weakest: Pakistan at 20.5, by education, with water at 45 and energy at 51 next.
Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Pakistan. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures
Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

We are looking for the people with real stories from Pakistan: the leaders who built something that works, and the keepers of local knowledge who know how their communities live, cope and thrive.
