To rank the global think tanks under the “Government affiliated think tank” category, “The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) of the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the world. TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations.”

This is a remarkable achievement for the Islamabad research institute as it underwent major institutional reforms to achieve the milestone. IPRI brought about changes in its 3D approach: Datafication, Digitalization, and Disruption.
