DO-Tank Rationale

DO-TANK PHILOSOPHY

Why DO-Tank rather than a Think-Tank?

  • The source of our challenges lie within us, but the solutions should be internally generated
  • Most policy-making is top-down and divorced from on-ground reality, rather than from the grass-roots
  • No shortage of ideas, rather the challenge is IMPLEMENTATION?
  • DO-ers with real-life public, private sector experience know implementable solutions to our problems as they have done what is administratively or politically feasible

 

Building Principles of DO-Tank, Pakistan2047

  • Core of Pakistan2047 comprises of Practioners or DO-ers –  mix of mid-level and experienced professionals – with passion for transforming Pakistan and with real-life insights drawn from field experience
  • DO-ers are coupled with researchers to test and make their implemented solutions robust
  • DO-Tank is human or systems centric, and projects are around specific implemented solutions
  • DO-Tank focus is on practical solutions and implementation – convert ideas into action….

DO-TANK METHODOLOGY

Built around “DO-ers”, “SOLVER” or practioners who have field, operational experience and insights

  • SOLVERS have solved a micro-problem linked to our area of research and it is an implementable solution in the local context. Furthermore, it is scale-able and replicable for wider benefits to the system

  • Identify SOLVERS through “Call for Solution” Proposals and funding for 3-9 months research projects

  • SOLVER will team up with Research Analyst to test solution to make it more robust
  • Under guidance of Advisory Board, research on the implementable solution is disseminated through TV, social media, RT conferences for wider adoption and policy incorporation; thereby giving a wide scale impact across the system

  • Project SOLVERS Solution for adoption in Policy, Replication in Practice and an Annual FESTIVAL of SOLVERS

Solve enough micro problems through scaling implementable grass-roots solutions >>>>we will solve macro problems & bring about SYSTEMS CHANGE>>>> to create strong Nation-State for the Next 100 Years
