(Concept Note)

 After the completion of five years of elected government in Pakistan, the country is now preparing for next general elections to be held in May 2013. The political parties have started their campaigns with the launching of party manifestos, considered to be an integral part of campaigning and important policy document to outline the vision of party.

Manifestos launched by various political parties, promise a bright future and cover most of interest areas of people of Pakistan. However, the question of implementation is still unanswered in respective manifestos, except the statements of implementation will. Therefore, it is high time to debate the manifestos of each party with people’s perspective. SDPI is holding a series of seminars to discuss manifestos of various political parties in Pakistan. This seminar is first of the series with a particular focus on Pakistan People’s Party Manifesto. The seminar would also discuss the relevance of manifestos in political dynamics in Pakistan and how pro-people development agenda can be achieved through political manifestos.
