Mid-year assessment cites Rs822b flood losses, coordination gapsMinister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal Photo: Radio PakistanThe federal government has decided to conduct quarterly reviews of the Annual Development Plan (ADP) to strengthen planning, monitoring and implementation, Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal said on Thursday. Iqbal said the ADP, traditionally reviewed on an annual basis at the time of the budget, would now be assessed quarterly to ensure timely achievement of national economic targets and improved ministerial performance. The minister said the ADP serves as a guiding framework for the economy and a pathway towards achieving five-year development objectives. Emphasising federal-provincial coordination, Iqbal noted that following the 18th Constitutional Amendment, most social and economic sectors fall under provincial jurisdiction. He added that a comprehensive post-flood analytical report, being prepared with development partners, is expected to be completed by the end of next month.
