PIVRA works with foundations, development partners, government bodies, companies, and peer institutions that need independent evidence behind Pakistan's development decisions, and partners to help carry them out.
PIVRA's work runs from research through to delivery, in keeping with its mandate to connect research, policy, and action. Partners can commission a piece of research, draw on PIVRA's policy advice, or design and run a project or programme with the institute. All work is delivered to PIVRA's independent standards: the partner commissions the question and the rigour, not the conclusion.
Fund a study, brief, evidence review, or evaluation on a question within your priorities.
Costed policy options, regulatory analysis, and briefings for decision-makers, grounded in evidence and comparative experience.
Work with PIVRA to design and run a project, programme, training, or delivery partnership that puts a solution into practice.
Programme or multi-year funding that lets PIVRA plan ahead, retain a team, and build lasting research and delivery capacity.
Companies, NGOs, funders and international firms that need research for their own use commission it through PIVRA Advisory, the institute's paid research practice, which publishes its services and starting fees. Visit PIVRA Advisory
PIVRA discloses the funders behind its work and keeps analytical control separate from any funder's interest.
We work with academic institutions, civil society organisations, and development partners on joint research, co-hosted convenings and roundtables, data and evidence partnerships, and shared programmes of work.
Media enquiries, requests for comment or interview, and questions about citing PIVRA research and data. We aim to respond promptly to journalists working to a deadline.
