Founded in 2001, PILDAT focuses on producing objective, research-based analysis on policies especially under review by the Parliament and the Executive.

As a think tank, strengthening democracy and democratic institutions in Pakistan is PILDAT’s mission. PILDAT’s research, analysis, advocacy and capacity-building has helped in shaping critical policies as well as broadened informed public discourse on critical policies of democratic governance in Pakistan. Following are the flagship areas of PILDAT’s work:
- Parliamentary Development
- Parliamentary Monitoring
- Assessment of Quality of Democracy

PILDAT is well-recognised as a serious and independent think tank 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.
PILDAT is a registered non-profit entity under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860, Pakistan. Its formal registration process was completed on September 19, 2002.
