WHY WE EXIST ?

Pakistan and the Central Asian region are deficient in generating civil society

responses to issues of emergency, security, economic progress, social services and institution building. This region is also under severe threat from various stressors. The capacity and stock of knowledge within government and civil society is limited. Furthermore, the region lacks institutions in response and policy areas.  To bridge the gap and address these prevailing issues a team of philanthropists and social scientists opted to establish NIDA-Pakistan.
