Federal Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery 2011 ! Preface The Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery set out in this document have been prepared under the Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) for the Federal Government. The Budget Estimates for Service Delivery (BESD) constitute a response to the growing need for adequate documentation, at the time of the presentation of the budget, of the purposes for which Parliament is being requested to appropriate funds. The BESD provide supplementary information to the details, which have long been provided through the Details of Demands for Grants and Appropriations – the so-called “Pink Book”, which sets out the details of the budget by accounting budget line according to the economic and functional classifications of the Chart of Accounts. The BESD, referred to as the “Green Book”, while presenting the same budget as the Pink Book, has a different orientation and purpose. The principal aim of the Green Book is to provide Parliament and other stakeholders with the clearest possible statement of the services which are to be delivered and the investments to be undertaken through the application of the funds appropriated by Parliament, and, equally important, the results which are expected to be achieved in terms of the achievement of goals of public sector activity and the benefits expected to accrue to different population groups from the activities of the federal Government. The publication of the Green Book marks a major step forward in enhancing the transparency of the federal budget. The Green Book represents the results of the adoption of the MTBF in its second year of application. Attention is drawn to the following major innovations, which are included in this Green Book: • The Green Book uses the 3-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 2011-12, which are to be appropriated by Parliament, and two additional or “outer” years (in this case 2012-13 and 2013- 14) which represent projections of budget estimates for planning purposes and not to be appropriated; • The centerpiece of the Green Book is the breakdown of each ministry’s budget by “Outputs”. Outputs represent major lines of service delivery of each ministry. In the preparation of the MTBF budgets each ministry has been requested to identify 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. It will also make it easier for Parliament and other i stakeholders to assess whether the public is achieving value for money through the federal budget. • Attention is drawn to the fact that, while for accounting purposes, the government budget is divided between the recurrent budget and the development budget, the delivery of outputs usually 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 services delivered. The adoption of MTBF is expected to lead to a closer harmonization in recurrent and capital spending, both of which are critical for service delivery and development in a wider sense. • Besides identifying the lines of service delivery of each ministry, the Green Book also provides information on the 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. An important purpose for adopting the system of budgetary preparation based on outputs/services, is to provide a basis, defined at the time of budget preparation, for monitoring, during budget execution, of the extent to which the results expected from public spending are, in fact, being achieved. • In addition to defining the services (outputs) to be delivered, the Green Book also identifies the outcomes, which are expected to be achieved through public spending. Outcomes refer to the effects of service delivery on the target population of each line of service delivery. Outcomes are often more difficult to measure than outputs and are typically actually measured less frequently, often using different sources of information, such as the regular censuses and surveys undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Statistics. The BESD has been prepared for the ministries that will remain in the Federal Government after the devolution as per the 18th Amendment. From 2011-12, the federal government plans to start the process of output-based monitoring with the aim to provide the Cabinet consolidated information on the government’s performance. WAQAR MASOOD KHAN Secretary to the Government of Pakistan Finance Division Islamabad, June 3, 2011 ii Composition of this document This document presents medium-term (2011-14) budget estimates for service delivery of Federal Government by each Ministry separately. The budget 2011-12 is appropriated by the Parliament while the budget estimates for outer-years (2012-14) 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 Cabinet at its meeting on 11 May, 2011 approved the issuance of Indicative Budget Ceilings 2011-14 to all Federal Ministries for both recurrent and development budgets. For each Ministry the following information is presented: 1. Executive Authority: A name of an organisation/entity (e.g. Ministry / Division etc.) is provided. Each executive authority is headed by a Principal Accounting Officer. 2. Principal Accounting Officer(s): The designation and the name of the entity (e.g. Ministry / Division etc.) are provided. Where there are more than one Principal Accounting Officers (PAOs) in a Ministry, designations and related organisations are provided separately. 3. Goals(s): Goals of each entity (e.g. Ministry / Division etc.) have been provided separately. This is a high- level statement that provides an overall goal. 4.

Budget by Outputs: In this section the budget is provided for Outputs (Services Delivered) for each Outcome. Also, preliminary actual expenditure for 2009-10 and original budget for 2010-11 is presented for each output. 7. Selected Performance Indicators and Targets by Outputs: In this section Key Performance Indicators and Targets have been provided for each Output defined for three years (2011-14).

Also, preliminary actual expenditure for 2009-10 and original budget for 2010-11 is presented by each major head of object classification.

    Pakistan-U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs July 1, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33498 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Pakistan-U.S. Relations Summary A stable, democratic, prosperous Pakistan actively combating religious militancy is considered vital to U.S. interests. U.S. concerns regarding Pakistan include regional and global terrorism; Afghan stability; democratization and human rights protection; the ongoing Kashmir problem and Pakistan-India tensions; and economic development. 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 praise 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. Pakistan’s army has conducted unprecedented and, until recently, largely ineffectual counterinsurgency operations in the country’s western tribal areas, where Al Qaeda operatives and pro-Taliban militants are said to enjoy “safe haven.” U.S. officials increasingly are concerned that indigenous religious extremists represent a serious threat to the stability of the Pakistani state. The United States strongly encourages maintenance of a bilateral cease-fire and a continuation of substantive dialogue between Pakistan and neighboring India, which have fought three wars since 1947. A perceived Pakistan-India nuclear arms race has been the focus of U.S.

Pakistan Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 8, 2006 Pakistan is a federal republic with a population of approximately 163 million. The head of state is President and Chief of Army Staff Pervez Musharraf who assumed power after overthrowing the civilian government in 1999. The head of government is Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, whom the national assembly elected over opposition parties' objections in 2004. Domestic and international observers found the 2002national assembly elections, the most recent national elections, deeply flawed. The civilian authorities maintained control of the security forces; however, there were instances when local police acted independently of government authority. The government's human rights record was poor, and serious problems remained. The following human rights problems were reported: restrictions on citizens' right to change their government extrajudicial killings, torture, and rape poor prison conditions, arbitrary arrest, and lengthy pretrial detention violations of due process and privacy rights lack of judicial independence harassment, intimidation, and arrest of journalists limits on freedom of association, religion, and movement imprisonment of political leaders corruption legal and societal discrimination against women child abuse trafficking in women and children, and child prostitution discrimination against persons with disabilities indentured, bonded, and child labor restriction of worker rights The government took significant steps to combat trafficking in persons. Its Anti-Trafficking Unit (ATU) was fully functional and resulted in increased arrests and prosecutions of human traffickers. Cooperative efforts between the military, ATU, and international organizations prevented any increase in human trafficking resulting from the October 8 earthquake.

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).
