The Institute undertakes interdisciplinary research and analysis grounded in theoretical, analytical, and methodological rigor of social and policy sciences. The focus rests on contemporary challenges facing Pakistan within the scope of three streams of the institute i.e. governance and law, economy and management, and development and social change. Within these broad fields, the Institute concentrates on selected but significant issues in social services, international trade, climate change, energy, access to justice, decentralization and access to information and transparency with a multidisciplinary approach. The research is undertaken and disseminated with a view to support evidence-driven planning, policymaking and development based on critical understanding of social, political and economic problems and alternative policy options to solve these problems. Our core team brings intensive experience in quantitative and qualitative research techniques and up-to-date knowledge in a variety of sectors. |
