​Background

Over the last decade, Pakistan’s north-western Tribal Districts/Subdivisions (erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas) have experienced security challenges and large-scale population displacements. Since 2014, a combination of military operations and political reform process culminated in the merger of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas into neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The merger, one of the most consequential political reforms in Pakistan’s 70-year history, is an unprecedented extension of constitutional rights and governance structures to 5 million of the poorest people in Pakistan.

The reform process includes the introduction of constitutional rights, elected local governments, the rule of law institutions, and empowered legislature, fundamentally changing the relationship between the citizen and the state. In this context, strong narratives around the transformation of governance structures will be of paramount importance to the success of the integration and reform process.
