LAHORE: Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) will hold a three-day third ‘Pathways to Development’ conference next week, featuring in-depth dialogue with scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from across the world on critical challenges faced by developing economies.
Speaking about the conference’s unique contribution to development discourse in Pakistan, Dr. Sanval Nasim, Assistant Professor at Colby College, said: “Pathways to Development brings together some of the top researchers from across the globe working on Pakistan and development issues in South Asia, creating a vital space for knowledge exchange between researchers and policy practitioners.”
This year’s theme, “Governance and Inclusion, examines the role of equitable governance in addressing crises such as fragmentation and unequal access to resources such as health, education, and justice.
The event highlights the importance of intellectual exchange and evidence on what works (and does not work) while promoting interdisciplinary discussions to address the socioeconomic challenges facing the country.
