The policy baton in #Pakistan is often passed between different #power canters within the country. However, donors play an influential role in dictating policies as they actively spend money and influence in having a say.
Who is the #policy maestro in Pakistan? Ministries or #donors?
Do #universities have a say in shaping evidence-based policies? What is evidence? Who examines it and how is it used?
How does foreign money influence policy? Their evidence and their conferences, and large advocacy #funds, do they matter? Is donor evidence and #research subject to local peer review?
Many top-level #government functionaries are beholden to donors. Does this cause #conflict of interest? Does this influence decision and #policymaking?
Who evaluates and holds #policies accountable in Pakistan?
Does the policy-making process take into account stakeholder
engagement at any stage?
Where is the policy debate taking place in the #public realm?
How are cabinet and other policymaking forums agendas determined? Is the process open and transparent? Is public #debate allowed on it? Is enough time given to debate it?
Are there any white papers on policy initiatives? Who prepares them?
Are minutes of cabinet and other policy making forums released?
Who evaluates and holds policies accountable in Pakistan?
