ISLAMABAD, Sep 21 (TNS): Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a bid to further transform the country\u2019s governance system, will launch a two-year (2021-23) performance agreements\u2019 document for all federal government ministries and divisions at a ceremony on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The launching of document was part of the Prime Minister\u2019s comprehensive Civil Service Reforms Agenda, under which the government had initiated a new performance management system that brought the entire federal government together through one implementation tool of \u201cPerformance Agreements\u201d.<\/p>\n
After the approval of the proposed performance management system in September 2019, the Establishment Division decided to run a pilot to stress test the content as well as the process.<\/p>\n
Initially 11 ministries were selected based on a mix of mandates including policy making, revenue generation and service delivery.<\/p>\n
The ministries selected for the pilot were Climate Change, Commerce, Communication, Education, Energy, Health, Housing and Works, Industries, Information Technology, National Food Security, and Water Resources.<\/p>\n
By December 2019, Performance Agreements for all pilot ministries had been prepared for a six-month period, ending June 2020 and the process of quarterly reviews then began.<\/p>\n
The Cabinet endorsed the fact that the system was not only effective for tracking progress but was also a facilitation mechanism to resolve inter-ministerial matters.<\/p>\n
As Performance Agreements were considered critical a governance tool for implementing the government\u2019s reform agenda, it was approved and expanded to all ministries and divisions for Financial Year 2020-2021. <\/p>\n
For the financial year 2020 \u2013 2021, a total of 40 ministries and divisions prepared their agreements. Over1300 reform, policy, development, and administrative initiatives were chosen for delivery through 6000 targets identified on quarterly basis.<\/p>\n
For these targets, over 1700 inter-ministerial dependencies were tracked.<\/p>\n
With the above mentioned work done during the last three years, Pakistan is now set to use institutional performance as an entry point to transforming governance. As a backend tool, the Performance Agreement has set delivery in motion.<\/p>\n
To further improve the process and benefit from increased capacity, a two-year agreement has been prepared for this cycle, ending June 2023. With the quality of initiatives improved, a total of 1090 initiatives have been finalized.<\/p>\n
Quarterly reviews will allow the Federal Government, with complete ownership of the ministries, to internally keep track of its output over the two years. <\/p>\n
The respective ministries and divisions will regularly hold press conferences, undertake groundbreaking events, and launch various programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, in the spirit of transparency and for ease of reference, this document will provide a snapshot of the initiatives of the entire Federal Government, as identified through the Performance Agreement system.<\/p>\n
The document, to be launched on Wednesday, will have a total of 1090 initiatives\/targets for all ministries including 426 to be completed in FY 2021-2022; 488 to be completed in FY 2022-2023; and 176 running initiatives, supplementing the overall delivery of ministries across the two years, and beyond,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
