About Us
Empowering Minds, Transforming Policies
The IDIL Institute for Policy Studies (Hereinafter referred to as ‘IIPS’) stands as a vibrant meeting ground where ideas, evidence, and lived experience converge to shape a more just, inclusive, and democratic future. Born out of a conviction that societies flourish when knowledge is not confined to academic circles but actively informs the decisions that govern people’s lives, IIPS operates at the crucial intersection of research, civic action, and policy innovation.
Our work is rooted in a multidisciplinary approach, drawing insights from political science, economics, sociology, public health environmental studies, and beyond. This breadth allows us to address complex challenges, from deepening democratic participation to tackling inequality, advancing human rights, and promoting sustainable development. We believe that progress cannot be achieved in silos; it requires a dynamic exchange between those who study societal problems, those who experience them first-hand, and those in positions to create change.

What We Do
Knowledge for Action, Change for Good.
At IIPS, our work begins where questions meet possibility. We do not see challenges as barriers but as opportunities to spark informed action and lasting transformation. Every initiative we undertake is grounded in the conviction that change is most powerful when it emerges from the intersection of rigorous evidence, inclusive dialogue, and the lived experiences of communities.
RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
At the heart of IIPS lies a relentless commitment to turning knowledge into impact. Our research is not confined to academic journals or policy shelves — it is designed to be lived, applied, and transformative. We conduct interdisciplinary studies that draw from political science, sociology, economics, environmental studies, and public health to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
DEMOCRACY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
Democracy thrives when citizens are not merely observers but active participants in shaping the direction of their societies. At IIPS, we believe that the strength of any democratic system rests on an informed, engaged, and empowered populace. Our work in democracy and civic engagement is designed to close the gap between citizens and the systems that govern them, ensuring that participation is not a privilege for the few but a right exercised by all.
FORUMS AND DIALOGUE
In an era where polarization often overshadows collaboration, the IIPS stands as a champion of
constructive conversation. We believe that meaningful change emerges when diverse voices are
brought to the table, heard with respect, and engaged with sincerity. Our work in forums and
dialogue is rooted in the conviction that the path to shared solutions begins with shared
understanding.
POLICY AND ADVOCACY
At the IIPS, we view policy as more than a set of laws or regulations. It is the architecture that
shapes people’s lives, opportunities, and freedoms. For this reason, our work in policy and
advocacy is driven by a steadfast commitment to ensuring that every policy decision upholds
democratic values, protects human rights, and advances equity for all.
TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING
At the IIPS, we believe that lasting social and political transformation begins with investing in
people. Policies, institutions, and systems can only be as strong as the individuals who lead,
challenge, and sustain them. That is why our capacity building work focuses on equipping
emerging leaders, activists, and researchers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to shape
their societies for the better.
“A world in which evidence-driven policies, inclusive participation, and equitable governance form the foundation of just, democratic, and sustainable societies”.
“To advance democratic values, promote social equity, and strengthen inclusive policy development by linking researchers, policymakers, and communities through rigorous research, transformative civic education, and collaborative
advocacy”.

Our work is also animated by the belief that informed decision-making is the bedrock of resilient societies. Too often, policy decisions are shaped by short-term interests or narrow perspectives.
