New article name is Centre for Public Policy and Governance (CPPG)

CPPG was formed in July 2007 by the Rector of FC College (A Chartered University), Lahore Pakistan to serve both as an academic department as well as a think tank in the policy domain. Dr. Saeed Shafqat, a political scientist was named the first director of the centre moving CPPG in a non-positivist, more sociocultural rather than economics heavy policy domain.

Since its creation, CPPG has concentrated on developing an academic program for middle tier bureaucracy which does not receive any structured academic training over the course of their career. CPPG started its first academic program, the Executive MA in Public Policy in Fall of 2009 with a small class size of 11. The Government of Punjab, Pakistan gave six full scholarships for its employees to join the program.

Additionally CPPG is focused on academic research and policy papers. It started its Quarterly Research and News with the first issue coming out in April 2008.
