Pronouncements on FATA Merger and Integration ASPIRE-KP Symposium, Peshawar, 29th September, 2024
In a recent symposium convened by ASPIRE-KP, a collective of political and civil society representatives, tribal elders, academicians, former bureaucrats, journalists, and students from the Merged Districts (erstwhile FATA), came together to address the pressing challenges faced by this region…
Aspire-KP believes that Pakistan faces significant challenges, including instability, institutional breakdown, extremism, law-and-order issues, resource pressure, and rising poverty. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) is particularly affected, experiencing public order disruptions, loss of human lives, and economic setbacks. The 2018 merger of tribal areas has further complicated governance and service delivery responsibilities for the KP government. There is an urgent need for informed, objective input to address these challenges and guide policy formulation.
Aspire-KP engages in a wide range of activities to achieve its objectives and promote effective policy-making. These activities include:
Research & Analysis
Conducting applied research on policy formulation and implementation impact.
Collaboration & Partnership
Working with government, organizations, and institutions to influence policy, promote effective legislation, transform attitudes on governance issues, and building capacity through research.
Engagement & Advocacy
Hosting conferences, seminars, discussions, and roundtables on issues like governance, youth empowerment, and sustainable development.
Documentation & Dissemination
Documenting outcomes in policy briefs and reports and proposing actionable policy options to stakeholders.
