1973, each Division is required to prepare a Year Book covering its activities, progress and achievements and during the preceding financial year, for information of the Cabinet Division and general public. The Year Book is also uploaded on website of respective Divisions. Accordingly, the Ministry of Planning, Development & Special Initiatives is pleased to upload its Year Book for the financial year 2019-20. The Book highlights the performance, major activities and milestones achieved by the Ministry during this period. Due to worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, the previous FY was critical and impacted the global economy in many ways. The second half of FY squeezed the overall development activities of the world. Pakistan being no exception also faced an uphill task to cope up with triggered unemployment, downsizing, closed businesses and slow manufacturing activity. Nonetheless, the challenge was met with proactive policies and better guided actions which not only effectively addressed the meltdown borne by other stronger economies in the wake of pandemic but also saved lives and livelihood of millions of fellow citizens. Under the able-guidance of political leadership, the M/o PD&SI prepared and effectively implemented COVID-19 Responsive Annual Plan 2020-21 featuring containment measures to counter the slow growth impacts on the economy. This book will provide a window to the readers to appreciate the hard task and determination with which the team at M/o PD&SI worked and braved through the continuing pandemic for betterment of the country and its citizens. Comments and suggestions for this publication are encouraged.
