PEP-supported research presented at international conferences in Asia

Pakistan: 15th Sustainable Development Conference

PEP researchers Vaqar Ahmed and Yumei Zhang were invited to present
their work and findings at the 15th Sustainable Development
Conference (SDC) organized by the Sustainable Development
Policy Institute (SDPI) in Islamabad, Pakistan, on December
11-13, 2012. This year’s event was entitled “Sustainable Development in South Asia: Shaping the
Future”.

With an audience of over 2500 from both the public and private
sectors, the SDC series is a prime conference that provides a forum for
researchers and academics in the region to share their work and engage in a
dialogue with interested parties, and that usually sets the tone and
discourse for sustainable development in South Asia.

This year, in particular, PEP researchers were
invited to host a panel on the “Role of Public Infrastructure in
Reshaping Asia’s Future”, in which they presented their recently
published papers from research work they had conducted with PEP support,
under a special AusAID-commissioned
project. In this project, 3 PEP-supported research teams
in China, Pakistan and the Philippines were mandated to develop and apply
sophisticated macro-micro simulation techniques, as fostered
through PEP research, to assess the effectiveness of public
infrastructure investments as an inclusive growth strategy.

Two of the country studies, namely China and Pakistan,
were presented during the special panel of the conference in Islamabad. To find
