Insaf Research Wing (IRW) is a part of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (movement for justice - a political party, PTI). IRW was created in 2009 to carry out research in order to find solutions for problems in
Pakistan. The foremost goal of IRW is to keep people of Pakistan and PTI informed and prepared.
The wing is composed of committees. Each committee addresses issues related to its field of expertise. The committees defined as of yet are (i) Economics & Finance (ii) Energy (iii) Science & Technology
(iv) Health (v) Education (vi) Environment (vii) Anti-Corruption (viii) Surveying (ix) Socio-Political (x) Foreign Affairs (xi) Strategic Thinking.
The research reports/papers are either commissioned by the central executive committee of PTI or committee members of IRW. PTI members can also suggest IRW to consider researching on a matter
they find important. IRW welcomes any contributions in the form of scholarly work addressing important issues. Nevertheless, after the author(s) sends the document it is peer reviewed before getting
published. In the process of peer review the document is technically analyzed and scrutinized. The procedure is necessary to maintain quality control. However, varying opinions & ideas are not
penalized.
Apart from working on research reports/papers which shed light on problems and provide basic solutions, IRW undertakes the task of preparing extensive policies for PTI. These detailed and in-depth
policy documents are a combination of input from several professionals who are well versed in the subject. IRW also serves as a check on the reigning governments policies.
The Wing does not follow a preset ideology while carrying out research. IRW does not endorse any opinion presented in a published report/paper as an official position. Likewise, several
research reports/papers on a similar subject published by IRW can have contradictory recommendations though it should be noted that these point of views are sole responsibility of the
author(s). Very rarely when there is a complete consensus on a certain research report/paper within IRW only then it is recommended to PTI for official perusal. Any published document
by the wing does not constitute it as an official position of PTI unless otherwise stated.
Insaf Research Wing works at a national level but its members are located throughout the world bringing in the much needed international experience. IRW practices an open membership policy valid for
all Pakistanis regardless of religion or race. Nevertheless, members of other nationalities from international organizations interested in helping Pakistan are always welcome to join IRW.
Published reports of IRW can be accessed at PTIs website www.insaf.pk. The headquarter of IRW is located at PTIs Central Secretariat, Street No. 84, Sector G-6/4, Islamabad, Pakistan.
