MISSION
Realization of just, inclusive and equitable society where citizens can lead their political,
social, and economic life to their full potentialities with lasting peace, rule
of law, and democracy
BACKGROUND
The establishment of CGPA stems from the realization that failure of governance and lack of public accountability has led to a trust deficit between state and society in Pakistan. The importance of good governance, rule of law and public accountability for stabilization and conflict transformation cannot be overlooked. This is specifically true about the areas, which are worst affected by conflict and terrorism in Pakistan.
CGPA believes that key to resolving conflict and underdevelopment in Pakistan is bridging the gap between citizens and state and building citizens’ trust in state institutions. CGPA approaches this issue by articulating and promoting citizens’ voices on key governance issues and strengthening state’s response to citizens’ grievances. Generating active and responsible citizenry is central to CGPA strategy for public accountability. CGPA believes in constructive engagement with state entities for promotion of organization’s objectives.
