For over a decade since 2001-2002, PILDAT has been working to strengthen democracy and democratic institutions in Pakistan. PILDAT is a premier research organization of Pakistan focusing on democracy, governance and public policy analysis. PILDAT's analysis and research is aimed at providing practical recommendations and options to policy makers and to generate an informed public discourse on key areas of governance and democracy. Our independent research, analysis and advocacy based on it has helped in shaping critical policies as well as broadened the public and media discourse on areas including democratic and legislative strengthening, political and institutional reform including in areas of democracy, governance, political parties, local governments, electoral processes & reforms, civil-military relations, federation-provinces relations, women and youth in politics, etc. Leading with its independent and objective analyses and proposals for policy reform in critical areas, PILDAT is well-recognised as a serious and objective institute in policy-making circles, across legislatures, and media within Pakistan and abroad. As an organisation created and led by Pakistani citizens with a belief to strengthen Pakistan's democracy and democratic institutions, PILDAT has, as a cardinal principle, employed and upheld its independence and non-partisan approach. It has very carefully ensured that its research agenda and analyses are rooted in open-minded inquiry reflecting diverse points of view.
