About Us
The idea of PIEDAR emerged from Pakistan's National Conservation Strategy (NCS), which identified the need for a policy institution in the field of environment and development. A wide-ranging process of consultation underscored the need for such an institution to have solid roots in research undertaken in partnership with communities.
PIEDAR was registered in March 1992 under the Societies Act as an independent not-for-profit entity by the core staff of the NCS Secretariat. Over the next three decades, it brought together professionals, social organizers, and volunteers, who shared project experiences and practical findings with communities, various levels of governments, the private sector and NGOs. PIEDAR worked in all the provinces of the country, and Islamabad-Rawalpindi.
PIEDAR is being restructured as a private limited company to provide environment-development services based on our grounded experiences. We will provide a range of online courses in community mobilization and dispute resolution along with tutoring and mentoring students.
