PREFACE The Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) is an important policy instrument for achieving socio-economic objectives of the government. It also creates spillover impact for the private sector and leverages potential of the economy for creation of greater social good. For the year 2020-21, the challenges emanating from Covid-19 enhances importance of public investment to trigger job creation, reviving economic activity and at the same time alleviating poverty. The focus of PSDP 2019-20 remained largely on achieving completion of the ongoing portfolio. Ministries and Divisions were empowered to manage respective portfolios by enhancing DDWP approval ceiling from Rs 60 million to Rs 2000 million. While ensuring efficiency and transparency, procedure for release of funds was simplified including upfront release without originating demand and waiving off condition of Ways & Means clearance. It is expected that 149 projects costing Rs 827 billion would be completed by the end of the current financial year. However, some projects due for completion may be delayed due to slowdown following COVID-19. Key completed projects include Construction of KKH, Phase-II Havelian-Thakot, Burhan-Havellian Expressway, Faisalabad-Khanewal Expressway, School of Dentistry Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto University, Islamabad, Replacement of GSM Network, AJK, Construction of Post Allied Structures in Mullah Band Area, Gwadar, and Special Repair of 250 D.E Locomotives etc. The National Economic Council (NEC) in its meeting of June 10, 2020 approved the National Outlay at Rs 1,324 billion. The size of Federal PSDP is set at Rs 650 billion including foreign assistance of Rs 72.5 billion. Public Private Partnership Authority has been activated leveraging RS 50 billion private sector investment to complement public resources. The current PSDP 2020-21 is part of a three years rolling plan to carry forward vision of the government. PSDP 2020-21 has been prepared under challenging times, addressing key priorities of the government as well as Covid responsive needs. The former includes investments in social sector, food security, water sector, energy security, social uplift, employment generation, infrastructure development and regional connectivity. Youth and women empowerment, tourism promotion, climate change and employment generation are essential corner stones of the development process. A special programme to mitigate COVID-19 impact, with an outlay of Rs 70 billion, will focus on education, sewerage, solid waste management, clean drinking water and upgrading existing health facilities. This will be executed in collaboration with provincial and areas governments. Development of less developed areas would continue to receive priority attention of the government. In PSDP 2020-21, special interventions have been made for Balochistan, Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. Allocations for Balochistan’s projects have not only been enhanced but new projects have been included i.e. N-50 from Yarik-Zhob including Zhob Bypass, Jhal-Jhao Bela Section, Naukandi-Mashkhel, in addition to other road and water sectors projects. Similarly, to harness hydropower potential of Gilgit-Baltistan, substantial resources have been allocated to on-going hydropower projects. Likewise, in addition to annual development programme of Merged Districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a 10 Years Development Plan for Merged Districts with an allocation of Rs 24 billion is being financed. Sufficient funds have also been provided to Karachi city and other areas of Sindh. To augment PSDP, resources of the private sector would be leveraged with the help of PPP Authority (PPPA), attracting domestic and foreign direct investment in commercially viable projects. PPPA will reduce transaction cost, ensure appropriate regulatory control and provide legal and economic mechanism to facilitate development initiatives. During FY 2020-21, four projects with tentative cost of Rs 300 billion and estimated investment of Rs 50 billion would be implemented in PPP mode. Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives acknowledges the cooperation extended by Federal Ministries, Provincial and Areas Governments in formulation of this document. I also place on record, appreciation of the hard work of my colleagues in the Ministry, as well as guidance from the Minister for PD&SI and Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission in formulation of this document.

Published: 16 November 2017 Abstract: Drought is a continuous process in Thar Desert, Pakistan. The extent of this drought needs to be assessed for future land use and adaptation. The effect of previous drought on vegetation cover of the Thar region was studied, through combined use of drought indices and geographic information (GIS) techniques. Five years (2002, 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014) were selected to analyze the drought conditions and land use pattern of the Thar region. The drought indices used in this study included the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI). Images of past drought were compared with post-drought images of our targeted area and land use maps were developed for spatio-temporal analysis. The results of the study revealed that vegetation in Thar showed an improving trend from 2002 to 2011 and then declined from 2011 to 2014.

  • A Case Study of Mahsud Tribe in South Waziristan Agency
    RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY By MUHAMMAD IRFAN MAHSUD Ph.D. Scholar DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (SESSION 2011 – 2012) RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE (December, 2018) DDeeddiiccaattiioonn I Dedicated this humble effort to my loving and the most caring Mother ABSTRACT The beginning of the 21st Century witnessed the rise of religious militancy in a more severe form exemplified by the traumatic incident of 9/11. While the phenomenon has troubled a significant part of the world, Pakistan is no exception in this regard. This research explores the role of the Mahsud tribe in the rise of the religious militancy in South Waziristan Agency (SWA). It further investigates the impact of militancy on the socio-cultural and political transformation of the Mahsuds. The study undertakes this research based on theories of religious militancy, borderland dynamics, ungoverned spaces and transformation. The findings suggest that the rise of religious militancy in SWA among the Mahsud tribes can be viewed as transformation of tribal revenge into an ideological conflict, triggered by flawed state policies. These policies included, disregard of local culture and traditions in perpetrating military intervention, banning of different militant groups from SWA and FATA simultaneously, which gave them the raison d‘etre to unite against the state and intensify violence and the issues resulting from poor state governance and control.
