Work on the first social protection policy of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is in full swing. Additional Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Shakeel Qadir Khan was briefed on the progress of the policy by the SDU unit of the P&D department.
The main objective of the Social Protection Policy is to improve the living standards of the weak and deserving sections of the province – the policy will set up programs to help the poor and needy.
Roads play important part in the social and economic development of a country. National integration is not possible without having proper road networks. For this purpose KP Government is taking steps to improve roads in various parts of the province including merged districts.
Bureau of Statistics Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been annually releasing Development Statistics since 1980. The publication is based upon secondary data and contains latest and comprehensive statistics on a wide array of subjects with district-wise breakdown. After promulgation of 25 th Amendment, the sector wise data of merged districts have also been reflected in this publication. Statistical Abstracts highlighting comparative picture of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with Pakistan have been given in the outset of the publication, while glossary of the terms used in the report has been provided at the end. In some cases national level data with provincial breakdown have also been incorporated to enable data users to make comparative analysis of national, provincial
and district level data.
Bureau of Statistics is extremely thankful to the Provincial Line Departments, District Governments and other data generating organizations for their cooperation in supplying requisite data for this publication. The team efforts of the staff of Bureau of Statistics in producing this publication are highly appreciated.
It is hoped, that the publication will best serve the needs of policymakers, planners, academia, researchers and other data users in context of evidenceâbased planning, decision – making and quantitative analysis.
There is a growing interest among policymakers and development planners to take decisions and make viable choices amid competing priorities based upon a broad suit of relevant and credible statistical data on varied dimensions of social and economic development. Social and economic indicators in general form an important part of the information required to determine how well a region/country is progressing on economic and social trajectory, identify regional and gender disparities and support the process of planning, monitoring and research.
Adhering to the emerging needs of a wide spectrum of the data users and fulfilling its obligation for being the data producing entity at the provincial level, the Bureau of Statistics is pleased to take an opportunity of publishing its annual report titled âImportant District-wise Socio-Economic Indicators of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 2020â, which is 27th in the series and contains the latest available data with the overarching objective to facilitate decision makers, planners and other development partners by equipping them with the essential data on socio-economic aspects of the province in a userâs friendly mode.
I sincerely appreciate the valuable support extended by the line departments, district governments and other data generating organizations for timely providing the data deemed essential for publication of this report. I also place on record my thanks to the officers and staff of the Bureau of Statistics for their tenacity and dedication in preparation of this important document.
“Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Figures” is an annual brochure released regularly by Bureau of Statistics, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The current brochure is 28 th in its series. The brochure is based on secondary data and contains latest data on socio-economic sectors. I hope that this pocket size booklet will best serve the needs of policy makers, planners, administrators, development partners, academia, researchers and other data users in the context of evidence based planning and informed decision making. I would like to appreciate the teamwork put in by the staff of Bureau of Statistics Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in bringing out this brochure and the cooperation extended by the Line Departments for provision of data.
