A Unified Platform for Regulatory Reform Mapping, Monitoring & Stakeholder Collaboration
Client Overview
The Pakistan Regulatory Modernization Initiative (PRMI), supported by international development partners, sought to transform the country’s complex regulatory environment by creating transparency, reducing bureaucratic hurdles for businesses, and fostering inter-governmental coordination. The initiative required a centralized digital platform to map, analyze, and streamline regulations across federal, provincial, and municipal jurisdictions while engaging businesses and regulators in the reform process.
