The Eqbal Ahmad Centre for Public Education (EACPE) seeks to foster the use of science and reason to understand nature and society and so better enable all citizens of Pakistan to participate fully in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of their society; to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities; to value human rights, democracy and the rule of law; to promote cultural and religious diversity; to raise awareness of global issues and the natural environment; and to advance the goals of international peace and justice.
EACPE is named to honour the life and work of distinguished Pakistani academic, activist, and public intellectual, Dr. Eqbal Ahmad.
“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”

Great Azhar Shan ,Ayoub Malla the youth of Ibrahim Hydri Karachi S,also I will Appreciate Eqbal Ahmed med Public Center for the support .
Well done, Azhar Shan and Ayoub Malla on your documentary. Thsnk you to Eqbal Ahmed Centre for Public Administration for encourage production of such documentaries and to Getz Pharma for monetary award. Government has paid lip service to the problems of coastal communities for too long without taking measures to reverse the destruction. It has allowed fisherfolk like Abdul Ghani and Haji Abu Bakr to be murdered trying to save the mangroves from the land mafia and done nothing to apprehend the guilty. I hope films like this will create the public awareness and build pressure from members of the general public beyond the fishing community to force the government to save coastal and inland fishing communities and the marine environment.
