During my tenure we have primarily focused on improving service delivery and facilitating citizens to the best of our capacities including helping the people of Pakistan in a battle against corona virus. The ministry is playing a lead role in the national effort and deci- sion making at the level of NCC and NCOC, established as a response to COVID-19 pandemic. The duties that we perform at the Ministry of Interior are challenging and sensi- tive. Risk assessment plays a key role in our decision making process. It helps us gauge the probability and impact of undesired events. The challenges in security as- surance are both difficult and interesting and I am proud to say that our people are working on them with enthusiasm, tenacity and dedication to develop new meth- ods of analysis and come up with solutions to keep up with the ever-changing threats. In this time where world has transformed into a global village, it is significant that we must secure all our fronts to ensure that we keep up with the international pace. Ministry of Interior has achieved progress on the anti-terrorism front while boasting tour- ism by making this country safer for the visitors who want to come and enjoy the beauty of Pakistan. To help boost tourism, Interior Ministry started issuing online and electronic visas for citizens of 175 countries which is vital in bringing in foreign investment to our country. All these projects have been undertaken by keeping up the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan for Naya Pakistan and we will continue to protect and serve our country. 4 Major (Retd.) Azam Suleman Khan Secretary Ministry of Interior PREFACE It gives me immense pleasure to see that we have made a remarkable progress in achiev- ing our goals in past 20 months. The Ministry and all its departments and organisations are determined to achieve the best and endeavour to deliver more than expected. From guarding security front, public service delivery to maintaining internal stability, Ministry of Interior covers a wide range of services across the country. This report provides an overview of the targets achieved during the mentioned tenure. We aim to strive stronger and work harder in the following days to strengthen our Ministry and work more for our Homeland and its people. Currently, Ministry of Interior is spearheading about 65 development projects with an out- lay of Rs. 9.8 billion. This has only been made possible by putting in tireless efforts by each and every segment that falls under the umbrella of this Ministry. Our team and employees are constantly engaged to address the new vulnerabilities that surface with the hurdles that we face in ensuring fool proof security measures. I wish to acknowledge and appreciate the relentless efforts and untiring commitment of Mr. Abdul Aziz Uqaili, Additional Secretary - I and his team in Administration Wing, along with all other officers / officials of the ministry and attached departments, who were associated in this process, which made it possible to publish this concise but comprehensive document. I hope the readers would like the publication. We shall welcome comments and sugges- tions to further strengthen ourselves to achieve our goals. 5 Abdul Aziz Uqaili Additional Secretary - I, Ministry of Interior ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Minister for Interior envisioned to compile and publish major achievements of the Minis- try under the present PTI Government. The task was assigned to Admn. Wing. We started compiling the material and data in January 2020 but soon the corona virus emergency struck the world and Pakistan. Hence, the task was put on hold. The Minister, the Secretary, AS-I and all others in Admn & Security Wing took up a lead role in national policy making for COVID19 and its implementation through NCOC. As soon as the work of NCOC got streamlined, we took up the task of publishing 20 months’ performance report, which aims to provide an insight of how the ministry and its attached departments are adapting to the change in the present government. The development of this report required a lot of hard work and extensive coordination. We appreciate the work of each and every team member for making it possible. I am thankful to all my seniors, both the Minister and the Secretary, for extending their support and guid- ance throughout the process of compilation, drafting and proofreading of the document. I would also like to avail this opportunity to appreciate my whole team and particularly ap- plaud Lalarukh Wahid for drafting important parts of the report and Mr. Kashif Abbas for his excellent composition skills. The publication of this report would not have been pos- sible without the support and facilitation of my colleagues Dr. Fakhre Alam and Dr. Tariq Sardar, Adl. Secretaries and their teams. Besides, each head of the attached department / organization, assisted the publication team by providing photographs and text of their major achievements. I am thankful to all of them and all those who were instrumental in preparation of this report. 6 POLITICAL LEADERSHIP & SENIOR MANAGEMENT Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan Barrister Mirza Shahzad Akbar Ijaz Ahmed Shah Shoukat Ali Special Assistant to PM on Interior / Federal Minister for Interior MNA, Accountability Parliamentary Secretary, Interior (Status of Minister of State) Major (Retd.)

  • 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.

This report will be updated as events warrant. A U.S.-Pakistan relationship marked by periods of both cooperation and discord was transformed by the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States and the ensuing enlistment of Pakistan as a key ally in U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts. Top U.S. officials have praised Pakistan for its ongoing cooperation, although long-held doubts exist about Islamabad’s commitment to some core U.S. interests. Pakistan is identified as a base for terrorist groups and their supporters operating in Kashmir, India, and Afghanistan. Since 2003, Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and largely ineffectual counterterrorism operations in the country’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban insurgents are said to enjoy “safe haven.” Militant groups have only grown stronger and more aggressive in 2008.

  • Principles of Modern American Counterinsurgency: Evolution And
    Terrain, Tribes, and Terrorists: Pakistan, 2006-20081 By David J. Kilcullen, Partner, The Crumpton Group LLC Brookings Counterinsurgency and Pakistan Paper Series. No. 3. “The two main factors for you will be the terrain and the tribes. You have to know their game and learn to play it, which means you first have to understand their environment,” Professor Akbar Ahmed told me in May 2006. In the field, with military and civilian teams and local people in locations across Afghanistan and Pakistan at various times through the next three years, the wisdom of Professor Ahmed’s insight came home to me again and again. The fact is that the terrain and the tribes drive ninety percent of what happens on the Frontier, while the third factor, which accounts for the other ten percent, is the presence of transnational terrorists and our reaction to them. But things seem very different in Washington or London from how they seem in Peshawar, let alone in Bajaur, Khyber or Waziristan—in that great tangle of dust-colored ridges known as the Safed Koh, or “white mountains”. This is a southern limb of the Hindu Kush, the vast range that separates Afghanistan (which lies on the immense Iranian Plateau that stretches all the way to the Arabian Gulf) from the valley of the Indus, the northern geographical limit of the Indian subcontinent. The young Winston Churchill, campaigning here in 1897, wrote that “all along the Afghan border every man’s house is his castle. The villages are the fortifications, the fortifications are the villages. Every house is loopholed, and whether it has a tower or not depends only on its owner’s wealth.”2 “All the world was going ghaza” Churchill was describing the operations of the Malakand Field Force around the village of Damadola, in Bajaur Agency, during the Great Frontier War of 1897— a tribal uprising inspired and exploited by religious leaders who co-opted local tribes’ opposition to the encroachment of government authority (an alien and infidel presence) into their region.
