Social Policy Resource Centre (SPRC) (In the beginning it was called Social Protection Resource Centre) was established as a premier think tank in 2020, dedicated to work on Social Policy with the realization that the past policy choices and initiatives could not enable the ordinary Pakistanis to reasonably withstand the vulnerability in any social, economic, or humanitarian crisis, including natural disasters. Nor is the current sorry state of debate on Social Policy giving any real hope to the people of Pakistan, as the plunges into a regressive social politics of welfare.

As these vulnerabilities and shocks, in most of the cases are not naturally occurring, the relevant stakeholders need more holistic, critical debates. SPRC has been designed to generate original, indigenous knowledge on the social questions being faced by Pakistanis and to provide policy advice and practical assistance to society, markets and the governments at all tiers of governance. It works on the whole range of related issues such as Social Protection, Globalization and Regional Integration, Trade, Industry & Investment Policy, Environmental Degradation, Services Sector Development, Competition Policy and Practice, Climate Change, Media Development, Civil Service Reform, Disaster Management and Food security among others.
