Public Policy

Riphah Institute of Public Policy has been established as a center of excellence for academic advancement and for imparting quality education and skills in the field of Public Policy.

While completing over one and half decade of academic journey, Riphah International University feels obliged to make its humble contribution towards the discipline of Public Policy. It would also provide a non – partisan, academic forum for holding debates, seminars, workshops, conferences and symposium on Public Policy issues confronting Pakistan.

Being suitably located in Islamabad, RIPP is an appropriate place where the public and private sector, academia and industry can interact and benefit from the intellectual research made available to the stake holders. Besides introducing a Masters in Public Policy (MPP) program, RIPP also intends to organize a series of skill learning training courses on important topics like Presentation and Communication skills, Negotiating skills, Change Management, Understanding Public Policy, Time Management, Team Building, Appraisal of Development Expenditures, etc

These skills are essentially required for officials in leadership positions in the public and private sectors. Founding of RIPP is a pioneering endeavor of RIU and it is hoped that the institute would advance the cause of promoting Public Policy as an academic discipline in Pakistan.  The institute now offers its role:
