Performance Based Budget 2020-21 to 2022-23 Performance Based Budget 2020-21 to 2022-23 Government of Pakistan Finance Division Islamabad Preface This document has been prepared to comply with the requirement laid down in Section 6 of Public Finance Management Act, 2019. The medium-term Performance Based Budget which is referred to as the “Green Book” is an endeavor to specify the purposes i.e. output and outcomes expected to be achieved with funds appropriated by Parliament. The Green Book provides supplementary information to the details of Demands for Grants and Appropriations, which set out the details of the Budget by accounting Budget line according to the functional and object classifications of the Chart of Accounts. The key elements of Green Book are: • Three-year framework for budgetary planning which lies at the heart of the MTBF reforms. Under this process ministries make their plans and prepare budgetary estimates for a rolling 3-year budgetary horizon. This includes the 2020-21 estimates, which are to be appropriated by Parliament, and two additional or “outer” years estimates (in this case 2021-22 and 2022-23) for planning purposes. • Breakdown of each Ministry’s Budget by “Outputs”. Outputs represent major lines of service delivery of each ministry. Each ministry identifies its main lines of service delivery and the costs associated with the delivery of each main line of service, down to the level of the individual spending unit. This would enable Parliament and other stakeholders to assess whether value for money in terms of delivery of services is being achieved. • Linkage of service delivery with total budgetary allocations for each Ministry / Division (current and development). As the government budget is divided between the recurrent budget and development budget, the delivery of outputs and outcomes requires a combination of allocations through the recurrent budget to meet the operations costs and development budget to meet cost of expansion of access to services or improvement of the future quality of public services. • Development of indicators, which should be used for measuring the quantity and quality of services (outputs) to be delivered. The Green Book also provides targets for the levels of services, which the ministries and divisions are expecting to achieve. Budgetary preparation based on specified outputs/services, provides a basis for monitoring of the results expected from public spending. • Identification of outcomes that represent effects of service delivery on the target population. Outcomes are often more difficult to measure than outputs and are typically measured less frequently. I hope that this document would be of value in terms of describing the linkage between budgetary allocations and the public services delivered.

The presentation in the document, also known as the MTBF “Green Book” has been improved this year. The following key improvements have been made: 1. The budget is presented by Ministry / Principal Accounting Officer (i.e. the executing agency). In order to present reconciliation with the Demands for Grants and Appropriation, the budget for each Principal Accounting Officer is also shown by Demands for Grants. This method of presentation allows enhanced understanding of policy priorities (services or outputs) and the related budgets. For example, in the book “Demands for Grants and Appropriations” the budget for Higher Education Commission is part of the Demands shown in the Finance Division. The MTBF “Green Book” shows the same budget but mentions it under the Principal Accounting Officer – i.e. the Executive Director of Higher Education Commission. A reconciliation between “Demands and Grants and Appropriations” and MTBF “Green Book” is also shown with each Principal Accounting Officer separately. 2. The actual expenditure (on provisional basis) is provided for the past two years (i.e. for 2017-18, and 2018- 19). The expenditure has been extracted from computerised accounting system called “Project to Improve Financial Reporting and Auditing” (PIFRA). These numbers are provided on provisional basis. 3. Name of the policy document, and organisational structure (consisting of attached departments and or autonomous organisations, etc.) 4. Together with the budget, a personnel plan is also provided 5. For each output, selected projects are shown in order to enhance clarification of how the Office of the Principal Accounting Officer intends to improve access and quality of services. The budget 2020-21 is to be appropriated by the Parliament while the budget estimates for outer-years (2021-22 and 2022-23) are provided for planning purposes. The budget estimates for outer-years are a result of a technical exercise completed by the Finance and Planning Divisions to provide predictability of resources on the recurrent and development budgets. The budget ceilings (2020-21 to 2022-23) were issued to all the Federal Ministries by

  • Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling
    Title Page Research and Analysis Centre - a UNODC and FIA Collaboration UNODC's program on illicit trafficking and border management (Sub-Program1) enhances the core capacities of Pakistan's law enforcement agencies to reduce illicit trafficking and manage borders primarily through the provision of specialized training and equipment. Law enforcement agencies struggle to interdict trafficking and smuggling of various kinds and scales, which poses a challenge to the governance, development, and security of the country. In January 2014 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between UNODC COPAK and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to establish a Research and Analysis Centre at FIA Headquarters in Islamabad. The purpose of this initiative was to enhance legal, regulatory, and enforcement frameworks on human trafficking and migrant smuggling. It added to knowledge and skills within the migration-related law enforcement agencies and improved information collection, analysis, and coordination of migration-related crimes. The Research and Analysis Centre (RAC) was officially inaugurated on 1 May 2014. Currently three researchers from UNODC and two from the FIA have been placed at the Centre, with necessary equipment and software provided by UNODC. The findings of this report are based on research conducted at RAC over the past year.

Definition and Function Sources report that the First Information Report (FIR) is the "basic document" used to report a crime (USIP May 2013, 7) or the "first step to launching the criminal investigation process" (Pakistan 11 Dec. 2013). Specifically, the Punjab Police website defines an FIR as "an account of a cognizable (i.e. over which police has jurisdiction) offence that is entered in a particular format in a register at the police station" (Punjab n.d.c). Similarly, the Islamabad-based Centre for Peace and Development Initiatives-Pakistan (CPDI-Pakistan), an independent and non-partisan group that promotes citizenship rights in Pakistan (CPDI [2006], 4), produced a booklet in 2006 titled First Information Reports (FIR) (A Guide for Citizens) that explains that the FIR is the "written document prepared by the police when they receive information about the commission of a cognizable offence," usually lodged by the victim or someone on their behalf (ibid., 1).

  • Pakistan 2020 Human Rights Report
    PAKISTAN 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pakistan is a federal parliamentary republic. In 2018 the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party won the most National Assembly seats in the general elections, and the party’s leader, Imran Khan, became prime minister. While independent observers noted technical improvements in the Election Commission of Pakistan’s management of the polling process itself, observers, civil society organizations, and political parties raised concerns regarding pre-election interference by military and intelligence agencies that created an uneven electoral playing field. Some political parties also alleged significant polling day irregularities. Police have primary domestic security responsibility for most of the country. Local police are under the jurisdiction of provincial governments. Paramilitary organizations--including the Frontier Corps, which operates in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas, and the Rangers, which operate in Sindh and Punjab--provide security services under the authority of the Ministry of Interior. The Frontier Corps’ primary mission is security of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, and the Corps reports to the Ministry of Interior in peacetime and the army in times of conflict. The military is responsible for external security but plays a role in domestic security, including as the lead security agency in many areas of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas. While military and intelligence services officially report to civilian

  • V/S D.G Immigration & Passport
    IN THE HIGH COURT OF SINDH KARACHI Present: Mr. Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar Mr. Justice Adnan Iqbal Chaudhry. C.P. No. D-4506 of 2018 [Shabana Noor Ahmed versus Director General Immigration and Passport and others] Petitioner : Mst. Shabana Noor Ahmed through Mr. Irfan Ali, Advocate. Respondents : Mr. Muhammad Zahid Khan, Assistant Attorney General for Pakistan along with S.I. Ibrahim Khan, I.O. FIA AHT Circle, Karachi. Date of hearing : 28-08-2018 Date of Decision : 12-10-2018 JUDGMENT ADNAN IQBAL CHAUDHRY J. – 1. The Petitioner is aggrieved of the fact that her son, namely Syed Junaid Hassan Hasni (hereinafter „Junaid‟), a Pakistani citizen holding a Pakistani passport, who was working in Dubai UAE on a residence visa (iqama), has been denied the collection of his renewed passport by the Consulate General of Pakistan in the UAE on account of a criminal case pending against him (Junaid) in Pakistan. Copy of Junaid‟s passport annexed to the petition shows that his visa for UAE was valid till 11-01-2017 and his passport was valid till 27-06-2017. Also annexed to the petition is a letter dated 06-08-2017 by Al Buheirah Police Station, Sharjah UAE, addressed to the Ministry of Interior UAE (alongwith an English translation), which states that on 25-09-2016 Junaid‟s passport had been detained by the said Police Station in relation to a case against him that alleged “presenting the cheque with bad faith or intentions”, but that on 06-08-2017 Junaid‟s passport was returned to him. It appears that by the time Junaid got his passport back as aforesaid, both his visa and 1 his passport had expired, hence the aforesaid letter by Al Buheirah Police Station to explain Junaid‟s over-stay in the UAE.
