TIGAH
A Journal for Peace and Development
FRC is a non partisan and non-political research organization
based in Islamabad. It’s the first ever think-tank of its kind
that focuses on Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA)
in its entirety. The purpose of FRC is to help the concerned
stake holders better understand this war-ravaged area of
Pakistan with independent research and analysis. We think,
write and speak to encourage all segments of Pakistani socie-
ty and the government to join their strengths for a peaceful,
tolerant, progressive and integrated FATA.
The Journal of FRC is Pakistan’s only publication exploring
topics significant to public, private, government and nongov-
ernmental sector actors partnering in peace and development
in FATA region. It helps empowering the people of FATA as
well as defining social, political and economical rights.
