In the past months I've been on a mission to make Pakistan's public data more useable through building open source databases and visualisations.
Today I'm launching Adaad (اعداد), a monthly data journal on Pakistan. Adaad is where those datasets become arguments and insights.
Everything here is made to be taken. The prose, the charts and the cleaned datasets are published under a Creative Commons licence (CC BY 4.0). Translate a piece for an Urdu newspaper. Rebuild a chart for a classroom. Rerun the analysis and publish your disagreement. All we ask is a line of credit and a link to the source.
Adaad also publishes contributors. If you have a question the data can answer — or data that raises a question — pitch it to [email protected]. For more details on what is required for a pitch, please see the about section.
Happy Independence Day — the struggle continues!

چھ سال سے حکومتی وعدے ریت کی دیوار ثابت ہوتے ہیں۔پورا سال ہمیں امید دلائی جاتی ہے اور مئی جون میں یہ دیوار توڑ دی جاتی ہے۔اے اہل کرم کچھ اس پڑھی لکھی کمیونٹی کے لیے بھی سوچیے۔ہم بھی پاکستان ہیں
Research labs are losing experienced TTS faculty who cannot justify staying with frozen income. The government's silence on TTS pay revision suggests a lack of priority for higher education research.
