PM to share govt’s ‘success story’ today

Premier to detail account of the ruling party’s performance on completion of three years in office

ISLAMABAD:

On completion of three years in office, Prime Minister Imran Khan today (Thursday) would highlight the achievements of his government – a detailed account of the ruling party’s performance.

At the federal capital’s Convention Centre, the prime minister would launch the ‘Three-year Performance Report’ that would give an insight into the efforts of each ministry and division in facilitating the people in line with its vision of ‘Naya Pakistan’.

The report 2018-21, compiled by the information ministry under the patronage of its head Fawad Chaudhry, focuses on the government’s “accomplishments” despite the global economic recession in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 251-page report would also give an outline of the achievements of 44 public bodies including ministries, divisions and departments. Besides defining the baseline of each sector, it also focuses on key objectives, updates on initiatives, long-term strategies, legislative policy framework and the projects in the pipeline.

The content has been explained through infographics and facts and figures.

On assumption of power in August 2018, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government faced “numerous inherited challenges” – including financial instability, poverty, and inadequate education and health facilities.

However, in three years, the journey of development has added “several feathers in the cap” of the government, particularly sustaining the Covid-19 situation by opting for the ‘smart lockdown strategy’. Pakistan has been recently ranked by The Economist as the “third-best performing country” for handling the pandemic. Administration of 30 million vaccine doses across the country and self-sufficiency in manufacturing personal protection equipment are key achievements.

To “uplift” the common man, the government launched the projects such as Naya Pakistan Housing Programme for affordable accommodation to low-income groups, the Ehsaas programme for social security and the Kamyab Jawan Programme for imparting skills to youth to help them get employment.

In the domain of legislation, 54 laws were enacted including the Code of Civil Procedure (Amendment) Act, 2020, Enforcement of Women Property Rights Act, 2020, and Legal Aid and Justice Authority Act, 2020 to help poor and vulnerable segments of society.

The report is available for public information at the official website of Directorate of Electronic Media and Publication.
