The Prime Minister’s Office has launched a comprehensive performance evaluation of federal ministries and divisions to assess progress, efficiency, and implementation of government priorities from February 2024 to date.
The review covers 18 ministries linked to economic and infrastructure development, 14 regulatory and oversight ministries, and nine divisions responsible for social and cultural services.
A standardized evaluation proforma has been issued to ensure uniform reporting on administrative performance, reforms, and key achievements.
The assessment aims to improve accountability and monitor the effectiveness of government institutions involved in national development. Ministries, including the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives and the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety, are among those included in the review.
Under the evaluation framework, ministries have been directed to provide details of assigned tasks, implementation timelines, completion status, and pending activities. They must also explain delays, identify hurdles affecting progress, and share corrective measures.
The reporting format requires departments to highlight reforms introduced to improve efficiency, reduce costs, modernize systems, and strengthen human resource management.
Ministries and divisions must also submit details of ongoing and completed development projects, including completion dates, outcomes, and evidence of effective utilization of funds.
The PM Office has linked the evaluation process with ministries’ legal responsibilities under the Rules of Business, 1973.
All reported achievements must be supported by verifiable documents, while incomplete reports and generic explanations will not be accepted.
