Rethinking the Industrial Policy of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (RIPA): Targeted interventions for improving the Economic, Disaster and Climate Resilience (June 2019—ongoing)
The report concluded key approaches in Tourism, Energy, and Data industries, and points to the need for continuing the work to expand the actual policy measure and institutional responsibilities as AJK is rethinking its economic growth while mainstreaming climate and disaster resilience. The ‘rethink’ suggested that the Government of Azad Jammu Kashmir should focus on revitalizing the Tourism, Energy, and Data industries through youth skill development and developing small and medium enterprise, holistically supported by financial services and women inclusion, while appropriately leveraging the special economic zones—which can lead to sustainable growth in AJK.
