In April 2007 CIPDD joined PASOS, the Policy Association for an Open Society, which promotes and protects open society values, including democracy, the rule of law, good governance, respect for and protection of human rights, and economic and social development, by supporting policy centres. PASOS supports the development and strengthens the outreach and impact of its members - more than 30 independent think-tanks spanning more than 20 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. PASOS builds upon the work undertaken since 1999 by the Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative (LGI) of the Open Society Institute (OSI) to upgrade the institutional capacities of the Open Society Institute-related policy centres which operated until 2004 within a collaborative and supportive network known as the Related Centres Network (RCN).
