PRIED

WHO WE ARE

Policy Research Institute for Equitable Development (PRIED) is an independent public interest think-tank based in Islamabad, Pakistan.

What we do

Research

PRIED carries out evidence-based and actionable research on economic, social and environmental effects of the government policies in energy sector. This research seeks to find empirical data and evidence from the ground and then formulates its findings in such a way that it can be used for practical purposes such as policy advocacy and policy reforms.
Collaboration

PRIED is a founder and active member of the Alliance for Climate Justice and Clean Energy (ACJCE), a civil society network that endeavors to divert Pakistan from fossil-fuel-based energy production. The alliance advocates for clean and renewable sources of energy that are socially suitable, economically affordable and environmentally sustainable.
Advocacy

PRIED regularly engages with legislators, policymakers, aid organizations and international financial institutions to promote policies ensuring equitable and sustainable development in the energy sector through in-person consultations, closed-door parleys and policy coordination.
Outreach

PRIED engages regularly with reporters, editors, filmmakers and social media content creators to share our research and advocacy work. This helps create public awareness, shape energy-related media discourse, and promote climate justice.

OUR MISSION

To accelerate Pakistan’s transition from fossil fuels and large hydroelectric projects to renewable sources of energy and to ensure economic, social, and climatic justice during this transition.
