Mandate

KRC is an attempt to abridge the widening gap between academic discourse and policy processes through a knowledge-platform where reform strategies could be deliberated, formulated, and evaluated for efficiency and sustainability. KRC is broadly mandated to cover the outlined focus accentuating Pakistan’s international commitments and domestic obligations, especially those framed under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework and its national blueprint Vision 2025, UDHR, CEDAW, BPfA and ILO, among others. The frameworks play an instrumental role in mobilizing political will necessary to revamp the governance pie (planning, implementation and evaluation).
