The “Advocacy for Sustainable Policy and Implementation Reforms – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa” (Aspire-KP) is an autonomous, non-profit research and advocacy platform comprising public service professionals dedicated to the non-partisan review and assessment of public policy.

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.
