Under the devolved system, the newly created office of TO(P) has the following function to; (i) develop plans; (ii) develop and apply building controls; (iii) manage CCBs; (iv) implement commercialization rules; (v) operate Punjab housing development schemes; (vi) develop site development schemes. In addition, The PLGO identifies the preparation of spatial plans (Article 54 a), development plans (Article 54 c) and budget plans, long term and annual municipal development programs (Article 54 j) as key functions of the TMAs. Unfortunately, in majority of TMAs TO(P) office has not been able to perform as envisioned in the PLGO. Some of the reasons are inadequate skilled staffing, lack of up-to-date maps, necessary equipment, and of management/ regulation/ and enforcement mechanisms. As a result, development works are taking place in a piecemeal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach. Under the devolved system, TMAs remain deficient in terms of adequate staffing, equipment, financial management, regulations, enforcement mechanisms and service delivery. Therefore, planning and development works are in piece meal manner and lack integrated and coordinated approach. The Government of Punjab has launched ‘Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project’ (PMSIP) through Punjab Municipal Development Fund Company (PMDFC). 1.2 PMSIP Planning The PMSIP thus aims at institutional development of TMAs through improving systems directly related to their functions and through investments in service delivery. This objective will be achieved by granting eligible TMAs both capacity grants and development grants. The World Bank and the Government of Punjab are funding the Project. Apart from providing funds for improvement and development of municipal infrastructure, the key initiative of PMSIP is to assist TMAs in developing their institutional capacity by providing management support tools like GIS, computerization of TMA functions, testing laboratory equipment, trainings, establishment of performance management systems etc. The most catching feature of the planning exercise is the involvement of the stakeholders. The objective behind their involvement was to endorse the plan for which it was prepared. The Planning exercise is a comprehensive account for the TMA to identify sectors for efficient allocation of resources on one hand and enhancing their capacity to run the Punjab Municipal Services Improvement Project (PMSIP) 1 Jhelum Urban Development Report projects, on the other hand. This process is hence the amalgamation of technical inputs and the aspiration of the stakeholders. 1.3 Limitations of PMSIP Planning The PMSIP development grants will fund municipal services. These are largely confined to the urban areas or CO units. The plan that will be developed will be restricted to the UCs falling in CO Units. The other CO units will be taken later on. The staff stationed at the CO unit headquarter will cover the entire Tehsil. PMSIP requests the TMAs to prioritize projects based on improved service delivery. The plan will develop a general list of required Infrastructure projects for planning and I&S departments. However, it will also specifically identify those projects and programs that are eligible for PMSIP funding. 1.4 The Planning Process The PMSIP Action planning process is a short term process for the rapid assessment/identification of infrastructure projects. The Urban Development Plan for Jhelum has been prepared by active participation of all stakeholders including elected representatives, UC Nazim, Naib Nazim, councilors, and TMA officials through meetings, discussions, formal & informal interviews and workshop. To involve the stakeholders in the plan preparation process, PMDFC made entry point through meetings with Tehsil Nazim and formulation of Working Groups. Frequent Meetings were also held with the TMA officials including Tehsil Municipal Officer (TMO) and the Tehsil Officers (TOs), particularly TO (P&C) and TO (I&S). The technical consultant with his staff from PMDFC worked very closely with second line officials of the TO(I&S) office to collect the service delivery data through pre designed forms. For socially acceptable and sustainable planning, it was important to penetrate in the community to understand their priorities, living styles, attitude, norms, gender sensitivity, and perceptions of people about community and physical development. PMDFC therefore, where possible, ensured informal consultations and information sharing with the common man. Apart from consultations with the stakeholders, data relating to urban planning and infrastructure (both secondary and primary) was also collected for plan preparation. The available information through secondary sources was collected through various documents and publications of the Government, TMA records, and private sector. In addition, GIS map of Jhelum was procured by PMDFC and data layers were developed. This proved to be a powerful tool for spatial analysis, identification of deficiencies in different sectors, and identification of projects. The projects identified on technical grounds were then presented in a Stakeholders Consultative Workshop for validation and prioritization. The capacity building projects were finalized on basis of consultations
