The “Institute of Public and Private Policies” (IP3) is an independent, national not-for-profit think tank, based in Albania. IP3 since its establishment in 2004 provides its analysis by aiming the promotion of public and private policies in different areas and across numerous sectors, consistent with European tradition of individual liberty and values of good governance, free market economy and private property rights. 

To achieve its purpose, IP3 employs a mix of policy research, strategic analysis, publishing, and convening. The IP3 seeks to establish institutional channels to foster public and private policy dialogue in Albania by carrying out research and producing cutting edge policy options, project results, and recommendations for reform in areas critical to accelerate the country's integration in the European Union. IP3 strengthens public policy through rigorous analysis of pressing social issues such as poverty and social welfare, children and families, housing and neighbourhoods’, and the workforce; and builds problem-solving relationships between the academic and policymaker communities. 

The Institute conducts research using its own policy analysts and economists, specialists from universities, and consultants; provides survey research services; produces public policy education and training programs; initiates discussion of society’s most pressing needs among diverse audiences.
