The Islamabad Policy Research Institute (IPRI) based in Pakistan, was established in 1999. It is affiliated with the National Security Division (NSD) of the government of Pakistan. IPRI focuses on datafication, digitalization, and analysis of information relevant to policy decisions. As a result of recent reforms, IPRI is ranked 74th in the University of Pennsylvania's Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program. [1]
The Institute conducts multi-disciplinary research and promotes civil society-governmental interactions and policy dialogue through national, regional, and international conferences, enhancing the country's research capacity and environment by facilitating issue-centric discourse.
IPRI's publications claims to offer current and high-quality research. It disseminates its findings and policy recommendations through its publications (triple-peer-reviewed journals, books, and monographs). To foster goodwill and North-South and South-South communication of cultures and ideas, IPRI also supports academic exchange programs between regional and international researchers and think tanks.
IPRI claims to deal with all facets of National Security, including International Relations & International Law, Strategic Studies, Governance & Public Policy, and Economic Security.
IPRI claims to have exemplified around two decades of analysis towards crucial strategic agendas and inter-governmental processes for the Pakistan government.
