The Planning & Development Department
is the major policy decision-making stakeholder especially
in the field of development in the Province. It is
responsible for the implementation and monitoring
of the overall development plans of the Province.
It plays the most important role in
policy making (provincial and sectoral policies, priorities
for projects according to the required resources), in
appraisal and processing of development projects/schemes,
in implementation (monitoring releases and inter-sectoral
re-appropriation and in evaluation). The function of
approval (ADP compilation, allocation of funds, recommendation
for approval) is an important activity of the Department.
