The Centre for Economic Research in Pakistan (CERP), is a leading independent non-partisan policy institution focused on improving decision making in Pakistan through rigorous quantitative research and evaluation, engaging with policy counterparts with real policy challenges, and designing and advising on high impact reforms based on data.
CERP specializes in conducting Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) to study economic and social issues and advising the relevant policymakers. CERP’s expertise also includes evaluation study design, data collection, analytics and visualization, advisory services, and designing and delivering technology solutions. CERP enjoys close working relationships with key government departments and bodies in Pakistan, both at the federal and provincial levels, and provides insights from its evidence-based research to improve decision-making at these organizations.
With over 20 active research and evaluation projects and more than 90 academic research fellows from around the world, CERP seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and policymaking and aims to generate evidence that feeds into government, non-governmental and private sectors, influencing the design of high-impact reform.
