PIPS...A NEW BEGINNING |
|
The Pakistan Institute for
Parliamentary Services (PIPS) is a premier
institution created to provide quality research
and capacity building services for
parliamentarians and parliamentary
functionaries. The establishment of a
sustainable institute for legislative research
and capacity building has been a long standing
aspiration of parliamentarians and parliamentary
staff in Pakistan. The establishment of the
Pakistan Institute for Parliamentary Services,
PIPS, through an Act of Parliament is a major
step towards the realization of this objective.
Strategically placed in the aegis
of the Parliament of Pakistan, PIPS is a
momentous initiative of the parliamentarians to
establish an exclusive centre of excellence with
an aim to impact the practice of an effective
strong legislature in Pakistan. The interim
PIPS was established in existing parliament
lodges where it started conducting capacity
building events and seminars in a small but well
equipped state of the art facility. A
dynamic non-partisan team of professionals
working in a modern setting, are dedicated to
the cause of parliamentary excellence through
their mandated services that can prepare our
parliamentarians as dynamic leaders in a
perpetually changing world.
The Institute continues to
provide quality services to national as well as
provincial legislators. The Institute is
“dedicated to parliamentary excellence,” and
looks forward to develop into a centre par
excellence through a dedicated team of
professionals.
