The delivery of reform initiatives to foster the planning and development in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been the core mandate of my department, which we are addressing through a versatile range of institutional and operational measures. By introducing processes and measures for continuous performance management, the Planning and Development Department’s role within the overall provincial development framework remains instrumental.

Pursuing the vision of our National and Provincial Leadership, we are implementing measures to achieve the provincial development priorities, such as improved quality of service delivery, focused development projects to achieve sector outcomes and prudent utilization of public funds. Our project and financial management reforms have started to give dividends through their integration in the Annual Development Programme and Accelerated Implementation Programme.

With structured monitoring systems in place, dedicated research and statistical capacities, multilevel performance and progress review mechanisms, improved quality of project designs and a renewed emphasis on strengthening bilateral and multilateral partnerships with our development partners, we are geared to fulfill our roles and responsibilities with utmost dedication.

In our attempt to bolster information management and strategic communication practices, we have revamped our website, which is upgraded with a range of dynamic functions in line with the provincial e-governance approach. The role of the Media and Communication Unit within the Planning and Development Department has been exceptional in enabling us to engage with our citizens, partners and stakeholders as we continue to explore the conventional as well as new media in expanding the outreach of our services. We urge you to make the best use of our website and to share your feedback on how we can serve your information needs even better.
