Our goal is to undertake in-depth analysis of challenges and choices confronting Pakistan.

We envision contributing to policy-making through periodic policy-papers putting forward policy-recommendations developed in collaboration with experts and stakeholders in each area. IPI takes no institutional position on policy issues.
