Our Expertise

Pakistan continues to grapple with high rates of maternal and child mortality, malnutrition, and limited access to quality sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, challenges exacerbated by systemic gaps in data, service delivery, and community engagement.

Ilamkaar recognizes the urgent need for context-sensitive, evidence-based solutions that can bridge these gaps. Through targeted research, co-designed pilots, and partnerships with health institutions and frontline providers, we generate actionable insights and innovative models.

With a significant portion of Pakistan's population under the age of 30, addressing the education-employment mismatch is critical to unlocking the country's development potential. Yet, outdated curricula, inequitable access, and weak systems of accountability continue to hinder progress.

Ilamkaar seeks to pilot new approaches that combine research, digital learning, life skills education, and vocational training aligned with market demands to equip young people with tools for social and economic change.

Deep-rooted gender inequities and widespread child protection concerns including early marriage, gender-based violence, and child labour, remain persistent challenges across Pakistan.

Ilamkaar is committed to advancing rights-based, gender-transformative approaches that address both structural and cultural drivers of inequality through community-led interventions, safe spaces, and data-driven accountability mechanisms.

Climate-induced disasters, water scarcity, and environmental degradation are disproportionately impacting Pakistan's poorest communities, yet resilience-building efforts remain fragmented and reactive.

Ilamkaar brings an integrated lens to climate resilience and DRR by piloting localized risk assessment tools, community-based adaptation strategies, and early warning systems for ecological sustainability.

Amid growing economic precarity and regional disparities, there is a pressing need for inclusive and adaptive livelihood strategies that go beyond traditional income-generation schemes.

Ilamkaar works to design and test innovative livelihood models including climate-smart agriculture, digital micro-enterprise platforms, and gender-responsive cash-plus programs that support resilient pathways out of poverty.

Weak civic infrastructure, limited citizen participation, and trust deficits in public institutions continue to constrain inclusive governance in Pakistan.

Ilamkaar addresses these challenges by fostering research and pilot initiatives that promote transparency, participatory planning, and rights-based governance through civic tech tools, community scorecards, and evidence-based policy dialogue.
