Pro Public, a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to the cause of public interest, was founded in 1991 by a consortium of environmental lawyers, journalists, economists, engineers, consumers, and women rights activists. It raises the voice against corruption, red-tape, and irregularities and makes the government bodies aware of their duties and responsibilities. Its focus over the years has been on good governance, conflict transformation, peace building, protection of natural and cultural heritage, environmental justice, pollution control, gender justice, and consumer protection.
