“…Our findings confirm that, though cash transfer schemes (like BISP and Ehsaas Program) and health insurance schemes (Sehat Sahulat Program) by the government are advertised and known by poor community members, they had difficulty availing them and becoming beneficiaries. Other research confirms that the majority of the poor and deserving in Pakistan have been unable to avail themselves of the BISP [54], the Ehsaas Program [55], or the Sehat Sahulat Program [56] due to low outreach and the mismanagement of limited funds.…”

This study aimed to identify social determinants of maternal and child health (SDoH) in Pakistan. Using a qualitative study design, data were collected from community members in seven underserved areas of Lahore City, Pakistan. A total of 22 qualitative in-depth interviews and 10 focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted. The participants included basic health unit healthcare staff, women of reproductive ages, male family members, mothers-in-law, and religious leaders. We found that maternal and child health is adversely affected by the following socioeconomic and environmental barriers: (i) poor housing quality and sanitation; (ii) inadequate food supply and safety; (iii) unsatisfactory public sector school services; (iv) a lack of safety and security; (v) scarce poverty alleviation efforts and loan schemes; (vi) unsatisfactory transport and internet services; and (vii) inadequate health services. The targets for maternal and child health in Pakistan cannot be met without close coordination between the primary health sector, local governance, and macro state structures, which collectively must monitor and improve housing adequacy, food security, public sector services (primary healthcare services, public schooling, public transport, and public internet access), overall safety, and poverty emergence.

“…However, some authors take more comprehensive perspectives. For instance, Salman (2020) provides an overview of public sector reforms and reform challenges in Pakistan. Another strand of literature addresses federal government organizations more specifically, focusing on agencification (Jadoon et al, 2012) and organizational autonomy (Zahra & Jadoon, 2016).…”

Organizational transitions in governments have long been discussed in the literature. While, more recently, organizational life cycle changes between birth and death have been the focus of research, a systematic comparison of organizational transitions across countries has barely been initiated. We aim to bridge this gap in the literature by providing comparative metrics for organizational transitions, which could be later enriched with structural data from researchers working in this domain. Termination literature mainly hails from the West, wherein this article brings in Pakistan's developing context-long considered a terra incognita in comparative research-and breaks new analytical ground by comparing the intensity of organizational transitions in Pakistan with those of developed countries. The lack of vivid variance in the intensity of transitions among developing and developed countries, raises interesting questions as to the relationship between the intensity of structural reform and administrative performance. The article thereby seeks to encourage future comparative research.

“…It is a popular misunderstanding that Islamic economics and interest-free banking are synonymous and that Islamic economics and interest-free banking are continuous intervals with interest-free financial structures that enable the sources of financial support to the public without the imposition of interest. Eliminating interest is among the most contentious aspects of the Islamic economy's proposed policy, and it is crucial to the formulation of the Islamic economy's framework (Salman et al, 2021). Although creating an interest-free banking system is undoubtedly one of the main tenets of the Islamic economic system, it must be emphasized that neither the structure nor, for that substance, Islamic banking is adequately described by this philosophy (Ahmed et al, 2021).…”

Prime Minister Imran Khan introduced an interest-free loan programme through a public-private collaboration as part of the Kamyab Jawan Programme 2022. A huge number of low-income and susceptible households benefited immensely from this programme. This program's goal is to end poverty by giving low-income individuals interest-free loans to launch their own small businesses. Primary data for this research was gathered from 184 beneficiaries of the lenders who received interest-free loans from the prime minister under the Kamyab Jawan programme in two districts of Sindh. Records of beneficiaries were taken from two chosen districts, and each component was chosen using a simple random sampling method. For this study, study participants of both genders were represented equally. A self-managed device was used to gather data directly from the recipients of the Prime Minister's interest-free loans. The findings show that the Prime Minister's Interest Free Loan Program is significantly enhancing the socioeconomic, economic, and social and political wellness of the recipients. Most survey participants reported significantly improved financial, personal, and sociopolitical wellness. Enhanced social, financial, and political wellness were also found to be related to interest-free loans in one sample binominal assessment. The majority of participants expressed satisfaction with the interest-free loan programme offered by the Kamyab Jawan programme, believing that it had a significant impact on decreasing the level of security vulnerabilities and poverty following the COVID-19 disease outbreak. The study's author suggested that this program's based on geography reach be increased in some way to attain as many poor and vulnerable communities as possible.
