PREFACE
P ILDAT's Score Card on the Assessment of Quality of Governance: Second Year of the Government of Balochistan:
2014-2015 assesses the change (improvement, deterioration or no-change) in the quality of governance in
Balochistan upon the completion of the second year in office (2014-2015) in comparison to the first year of the
Government (2013-2014).
The assessment and Score Card is part of PILDAT's initiative under its Democracy and Governance Programme. Within
this programme, the “Assessment of the Quality of Governance in Pakistan” project aims to examine the performance
of the Federal and Provincial Governments. As democracy progresses in Pakistan, PILDAT believes that the focus should
be on the performance of democracy and not just the process of democracy. With this report, PILDAT seeks to
understand the extent to which the democratic governments have delivered to their respective citizens in terms of
providing good governance.
This Score Card is based primarily on data provided by the Government of Balochistan. PILDAT supplemented the data
by referring to several publications and websites both of the Provincial Government and other entities such as
international agencies, think tanks and media reports.
This report is based on a framework developed by PILDAT to monitor the quality of governance of the Federal and
Provincial Governments of Pakistan. While greatly benefitting from many international frameworks to assess the
quality of governance, PILDAT's framework has been created indigenously with the valuable input of a 25-member
Governance Assessment Group (GAG) comprising some of the most eminent experts across four Provinces.
PILDAT's initiative to assess the quality of governance of the Federal and Provincial Governments is by no means an
exercise to criticise their performance. It is, in fact, a collaborative effort to highlight areas of strengths and potential
areas requiring improvement in the quality of governance.
Earlier, upon the completion of the second year of the Federal and Provincial Governments in office in June 2015,
PILDAT conducted and published the results of the Public Opinion Poll on the Quality of Governance in Pakistan at the
End of the Second Year of Federal and Provincial Governments in October 2015. Both the Public Opinion Poll and the
Performance Assessment Score Card of the Federal and Provincial Governments are part of the effort to assist elected
political Governments in the Centre and the Provinces to improve their quality of governance. It is hoped that
policymakers, Government officials, and politicians will benefit from the perspectives highlighted in this assessment
report.
Both the Score Card which is primarily based on the analysis of the data as well as the Public Approval Ratings on
governance indicators through public opinion polls are planned to be conducted annually by PILDAT to keep a track of
the trend of performance on governance. This report and the public opinion poll released in October 2015 are the
second of their kind in this series.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Government of Balochistan earned an overall score of 58.4%, based on PILDAT's Assessment of the Quality
of Governance for the second year of the Provincial Government (2014-2015).
In comparison, the overall Public Approval Rating for the Government in its Second Year, expressed through the 2014-
2015 Public Opinion Poll for Governance, was 28.0%. This Approval Rating is a measure of the 'Perceived Performance'
of the Government and may be different from the Government's 'Actual Performance,' which is influenced by a
1
multitude of other factors.
The findings of PILDAT's Assessment of the Quality of Governance in the Second Year of the current Government in
Balochistan highlight major governance developments during 2014-2015. A comparative analysis of 2013-2014 and
2014-2015 has revealed areas where the Provincial Government excels and also areas where it needs to improve. A
higher score denotes greater percentage improvement relative to other Provinces, as compared to a lower score.
Highest Scoring Governance Parameters

1. Devolution of Powers to Local Governments – 77.7%
2. Collection of Taxes – 75.4%
3. Anti-Corruption – 74.4%
Lowest Scoring Governance Parameters

1. Public Transport – 41.3%
2. Management of Unemployment – 42.9%
3. Immunisation of Children – 45.0%
The major positive and negative governance developments of the Government of Balochistan under various pillars of
governance are summarised below. The analysis is based on Governance Assessment Scores assigned by PILDAT:
·Scores below 50% indicate deterioration in the Government's performance.

·Score of 50% indicates no change/improvement in the Government's performance
·Scores of 51% to 60% are indicative of marginal improvement in the Government's performance.
·Scores above 60% are indicative of clear improvement in the Government's performance.
Rule of Law
Based on the data available to PILDAT, the Government of Balochistan's performance in Anti-Corruption has
earned a score of 74.4%. The Anti-Corruption Establishment of Balochistan has recovered Rs. 46.94 million
during 2014-2015, which is 670 times higher than the Rs. 70,000 recovered in 2013-2014.
For Peace, Stability and Order in the Province, the Government's performance received a score of 59.3%. There were
57,352 persons in law enforcement agencies in Balochistan in 2014-2015, which is 5.22% more than the 54,505
persons in 2013-2014. However, the number of arrests has decreased by 23.13%, from 536 arrests in 2013-2014 to 412
arrests in 2014-2015. Nevertheless, sectarian attacks have declined by 92.31%, from 13 such attacks in 2013-2014 to
only one attack in 2014-2015. Furthermore, civilian casualties fell by 55.27%, from 313 civilian death in 2013-2014 to
140 civilian death in 2014-2015; security personnel casualties have reduced by 46.29%, from 175 persons in 2013-
2014 to 94 persons in 2014-2015.
1. PILDAT considers public opinion to be an integral part of the Government's ability to govern effectively since perceptions influence citizens’
reaction to policy measures and reforms.
Score Card
The Government's performance in Transparency has received a score of 51.7%. While the Province does not have a
dedicated Information Commission, like in the case of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, the efforts of the office of the
Balochistan Ombudsman have helped improve Transparency in the Government of Balochistan: of the 14 information
requests/appeals filed to the Balochistan Obudsman, 10 were decided whereas only 4 were left undecided by the end
of the year. However, it should be noted that the Freedom of Information Act 2005, the operational transparency law in
Balochistan, is out-dated and allows too many exceptions to the information that citizens can access, regardless of
whether disclosing this information favours public interest.
Rs. The Government's performance in Agricultural Development received a score of 71.0%. The allocated budget
for agricultural development increased by 52.60%, from Rs. 2.29 billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 3.49 billion in
2014-2015. The Government's spending in the agriculture sector in 2014-2015 was Rs. 2.76 billion, which is
more than double the Rs. 1.12 billion spending in 2013-2014. However, the overall output of wheat, rice and
cotton only increased by 1.76%.
The Government’s performance in Collection of Taxes received a score of 75.4%. In both the first and the second year
of the Government, the tax collection exceeded the set targets. In 2014-2015, Rs. 616.61 million were collected in
taxes; that is nearly 40% higher than the tax target of Rs. 440.51 million for the year. In 2013-2014, Rs. 525.75 million
were collected in taxes; that is nearly 30% higher than the Rs. 405.20 million tax target for the year. Tax collection itself
was 17.28% higher in 2014-2015.
The Development Programmes in Balochistan, i.e. the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), received an
overall score of 59.6%. The budget allocation increased by 15.49%, from Rs. 43.9 billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 50.7 billion
in 2014-2015. The utilisation of this budget in 2014-2015 was 88.76% of the allocation, compared to the 84.05%
utilisation of the allocated budget in 2013-2014. Furthermore, block allocations were cut by 63.64% to Rs. 6.4 billion in
2014-2015, compared to Rs. 17.6 billion in 2013-2014.
In the case of Electricity Production and Management, the Government of Balochistan has received a score of 50.0%,
indicating a lack of improvement. The budget allocation for increasing the generation of electricity in the Province
declined by 90% from Rs. 500 million in 2013-2014 to Rs. 50 million in 2014-2015. More importantly, the spending of
the allocated budget in both years remained nil.
The Government's performance with regards to Investment Friendliness in Balochistan garnered a score of 54.6%. The
framework for promoting and managing private investment was effectively established in 2014-2015, with the
reconstitution of the Balochistan Board of Investment. Data regarding implementation was not available; therefore,
this parameter was scored only for policy and legal framework. The score is indicative of marginal improvement in the
Government's performance with regards to ensuring an improved investment climate in the Province.
For its efforts towards Management of Unemployment, the Government of Balochistan received a score of 42.9%. No
new policies were introduced to curb unemployment in the Province and the overall unemployment rate in 2014-2015
declined by 0.04 percentage points. Moreover, the allocation for the Skills Development Programme, through the
Balochistan Technical Education and Vocational Training, was 87.50% lower in in 2014-2015 than in 2013-2014.
For Water Resource Development and Management in Balochistan, the Government received a score of 54.5%. From
the Rs. 2.98 billion allocated for water development and management in 2014-2015, Rs. 2.93 billion were spent,
resulting in a budget utilisation of 98.32%. In 2013-2014, the allocated budget was Rs. 2.49 billion, whereas the actual
spending was Rs. 2.31 billion, resulting in a budget utilisation of 92.77%. Data for other key indicators does not show
significant improvement.
Score Card
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Social Indicators
The Government of Balochistan's performance in Environmental Sustainability achieved a score of 60.3%,
based on PILDAT's assessment. The estimated spending by the Environment Control Department increased
by 109.97%, from Rs. 184.48 million in 2013-2014 to Rs. 202.66 million in 2014-2015.
The Gender Equality in Balochistan received a score of 57.1% as a result of the 2.60 percentage point decrease in the
literacy rate gap between the Province’s male and female population. The female literacy rate increased from 28.7% in
2013-2014 to 33% in 2014-2015; male literacy increased from 70.3% in 2013-2014 to 72% in 2014-2015. Despite the
improvement in female literacy, the Government's performance only marginally improved as total female enrolment in
vocational institutes dropped by 5.9%, from 1,221 females in 2013-2014 to 1,149 females in 2014-2015.
Poverty Alleviation is an important area of focus and the Government has received a score of 65.4% for its efforts. In
order to combat poverty, the Government undertook comprehensive Zakat programmes which benefitted more than
94,000 individuals in 2014-2015 compared to around 73,000 individuals in 2013-2014. Moreover, the Government's
utilisation of the funds for poverty alleviation programmes and schemes increased from 86.27% of the allocation in
2013-2014 to 94.05% of the allocation in 2014-2015. The overall Management of Population Growth received a score
of 48.7%. According to Government-provided estimates, the overall pace of population growth in Balochistan has not
significantly changed. Additionally, the contraceptive prevalence rate stood at 19.0% in 2013-2014 and at 20.1% in
2014-2015. Additionally, the allocated budget for population welfare programmes declined by 7.58%, from Rs. 805
million in 2013-2014 to Rs. 744 million in 2013-2014.
Service Delivery
Education, which received a score of 66.5%, was highly prioritised by the Government of Balochistan. The
Government undertook the recruitment of more than 4,000 teachers in 2014-2015, compared to no such
recruitments in 2013-2014. Additionally, the allocated budget for education increased by 17%, from Rs. 24.7
billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 28.9 billion in 2014-2015. Primary school enrolment has increased by 53.28%, from
527,883 students in 2013-2014, to 809,135 students in 2014-2015. Another positive development was the 32
2
percentage point decrease in the proportion of Government's rural primary schools where multi-grade
teaching is prevalent.
The Government received a score of 59.8% in Healthcare. The allocated budget for healthcare increased by 4.27%,
from Rs. 18.53 billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 19.32 billion in 2014-2015. Of this budget, the Government spent Rs. 10.64
billion in 2013-2014, or 57.40% of the allocated budget in 2013-2014; in 2014-2015, the Government spent Rs. 14.01
billion, or 72.52% of the allocated budget in 2014-2015. The Government's performance in the Immunisation of
Children in Balochistan received a score of 45.0%. The number of reported cases of polio increased drastically, from 0
cases in 2013 to 29 cases in 2014.
The provision of Safe Drinking Water Supply received a score of 61.2% and Sanitation (Sewerage, Solid Waste
Collection and Disposal) received a score of 59.2%. The actual spending for the provision of drinking water in 2014-
2015 increased by 86.20%, from Rs. 3.08 billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 5.24 billion in 2014-2015. The percentage of people
with access to clean drinking water increased from 69% in 2013-2014 to 72% in 2014-2015. The increased actual
spending for the provision of sewerage systems in 2014-2015 of Rs. 45 million was 19 times more than spending in
2013-2014. Furthermore, the budget for the provision of a solid waste collection system, Rs. 65 million, was fully
utilised in 2014-2015.
2. In a multi-grade teaching system one teacher, often in one classroom, teaches students of multiple grades.
Score Card
The Government's overall Disaster Preparedness and Management efforts received a score of 58.5%. The
Government constituted a rapid rescue and response team in 2014-2015. Additionally, Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) for emergency response were devised and a drill was conducted under these SOPs in coordination with
provincial line departments. The actual spending by the PDMA, however, remained unchanged and stood at Rs. 45.969
million in both 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.
The Government of Balochistan does not have a Public Transport system and private companies provide the only
transport available to citizens in Balochistan. This is a significant governance gap. Therefore, the Government of
Balochistan received a score of 41.3% in Public Transport, which is its lowest score.
Administrative Effectiveness
The Government of Balochistan received its highest score, 77.7%, for Devolution of Powers to Local
Governments. Balochistan was the first Province to hold Local Government elections. The Government
allocated Rs. 1.5 billion for Local Governments in 2014-2015. The Government's policies to ensure Merit-
Based Recruitments and Promotions received a scored of 63.1% which is indicative of improvement in the
Government's performance. This score is based on the policy and legal framework regarding recruitments
and promotions, since data for implementation indicators was not available. However, it should be noted that
the Government enlisted the National Testing Service (NTS) for the recruitment of over 4,000 teachers in
2014-2015.
As per the analysis under Clean, Efficient and Economic Public Procurements, the Government of Balochistan received
a score of 60.4%. The Government has prioritised transparency in procurement and the Balochistan Public
Procurement Regulatory Authority (B-PPRA) has uploaded all 2,040 tenders since it began operating in March 2015.
The overall Use of Technology for Better Governance in Balochistan received a score of 58.8%. In 2014-2015, the
Government's spending in this governance parameter was 28.38% higher than the allocated budget. Additionally,
several new technology-based initiatives were undertaken, including the installation of a biometric attendance system
in the civil secretariat with 3,300 registered employees; the digitisation of provincial law records at the Law and
Parliamentary Affairs Department; and the establishment of a digital library for the Supreme Court Bar within the
Balochistan High Court premises. However, land records, arms licenses and driving licenses are yet to be computerised
in any district.

INTRODUCTION
Ever since taking office after the 2013 General Elections, the Government of Balochistan has consistently faced
challenges on several fronts. The major areas of concern have been the prevailing security situation in Balochistan,
along with the electricity crisis, lack of education and the increasing cost of living in the face of poverty and rising
unemployment. In 2014-2015, the Government duly accorded priority status to education, healthcare and poverty
alleviation among its development goals and has made significant strides is bringing stability to the region in terms of
security.
In 2014-15, after the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP), the overall budgets for education and healthcare
constitute the largest allocations in the Government of Balochistan's budget, at Rs. 28.9 billion and Rs. 19.32 billion
respectively. The PSDP itself increased by 15.49% to Rs. 50.7 billion in 2014-2015 compared to Rs. 43.9 billion in 2013-
2014. The Government also allocated Rs. 5.36 billion in 2014-2015 for the provision of safe drinking water, a critical
need in Balochistan.
Rationale
As a basic principle and assumption, democracy must translate into improved governance in a country. In order to
assess whether democratic Governments have been able to deliver improved governance in Pakistan, their
performance has to be assessed on certain parameters. PILDAT has undertaken this initiative by first forming a
Governance Assessment Group (GAG) comprising of leading experts from all four Provinces. With the valuable input
from the members of the GAG, an indigenous PILDAT Governance Assessment Framework was developed, which
formed the basic guidelines to carry out an assessment of the quality of governance in the Federal and Provincial
Governments. This tool is intended to enable us in making an informed, fact-based assessment regarding Provinces,
and assign them scores based on percentage change in their performance over the last two years of the
Government.
Although the concept of governance is widely discussed among policymakers and scholars, there is as yet no strong
consensus around a single definition of governance or institutional quality. According to the World Bank's 2002 World
Development Report 'Governance' is defined as “Building Institutions for Markets” where as in 1992 World Bank
proposed that governance should be defined as “the manner in which power is exercised in the management of the
Country's economic and social resources for development.” For the purpose of this study PILDAT seeks to navigate
between overly broad and narrow definitions to define governance as “the capacity of the Government to effectively
formulate and implement sound policies for benefit of the Country's citizens”. The governance definition is inclusive of
the institutions by which authority is exercised and services are managed and delivered to the public.
Based on this definition we have constructed two components of analysis: Legal/Policy Framework and Quality of
Implementation in the overall assessment and scoring methodology. Data based governance monitoring tools are
becoming common around the world and empirical measures of governance are being widely accepted by policy-
makers, multi-lateral and bilateral donor agencies and analysts. Hence, in lieu of the same, PILDAT emphasizes the
importance of integrating both qualitative and quantitative scoring methodologies to capture the percentage change
in governance indicators that are reflective of their performance.
The two major components of the assessment scopes are described below:
1. Legal Framework/Policy Component (given a 25% weightage in scoring)
·Laws drafted, bills passed or formal policy documents approved by the Provincial/Federal Government
·Institutions, bodies or committees created or restructured by the Government to oversee, design and execute
implementation.
Score Card
· Rules, regulations or procedures that were finalized during the year that pertain to the parameter.
2. Implementation (given a 75% weightage during scoring)
·List of indicators specific to the parameters under consideration that enable the assessor to compare performance
of the Government in comparison to the previous year.
·The budgetary allocation and actual spending for the parameter under observation.
We believe that this is a useful way of organizing available empirical evidence on governance.
The PILDAT Governance Assessment Parameters (GAP) consists of 5 broad pillars of Governance covering the Federal
and 4 Provincial Governments of Pakistan: Rule of Law, Management of Economy, Social Indicators, Service Delivery
and Administrative Effectiveness. These pillars are based on 120 sub indicators; data for which is obtained from the
Federal Ministries/Divisions and Provincial Government Departments.
5 Pillars of Governance
(Categorisation of Provincial Governance Assessment Parameters)
PILDAT notes that these five pillars of governance should not be thought of as being somehow independent of one
another. For instance better accountability mechanisms lead to less corruption, creating a better regulatory
environment and more effective service delivery. Therefore, these pillars, and the parameters within, are inter-related
and must be looked at in combination for a holistic picture of a Government's performance. PILDAT has thus taken
considerable care in organizing the framework and GAPs reasonably, whilst also leaving room for constructive
discourse.
Methodology
Data Sources
For the purpose of this assessment, PILDAT draws together quantitative data from the Government Departments and
publicly verified Government Surveys. The latter include, but are not limited to, publications like the Pakistan Labour
Force Survey (LFS), Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM), Multiple Indicator Cluster

INTRODUCTION
Survey (MICS) and Pakistan Economic Survey. The assessment also analyses the Federal and Provincial Budget
statements by measuring the percentage change in the budget allocations and actual budget spending undertaken by
the Federal, Provincial and Local Governments in Pakistan. In the case of indicators for which data is missing, PILDAT has
relied on publicly verifiable sources, in consultation with focal persons from provincial Government Departments, in
order to ensure validity and reliability of data.
Data Analysis
Statistical analysis has been carried out which indicates whether performance in governance has improved, marginally
improved, remained static or deteriorated in comparison to the previous year. This methodology facilitates a fact-
based and impartial assessment of the Governments' performance. For more in-depth qualitative assessment of the
performance of the Government, the study also analyses governance perceptions as reported by survey respondents
of PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll, policy legislations passed by the National and Provincial Assemblies and major
developments during the first and the second year of the Governments. The analysis also captures views of experts' in-
depth experience working in Pakistan.
The draft Score Cards and assessment based on the analysis of the Government data were shared with each
Government to receive official input before publication and public dissemination. This is to ensure that stakeholders
and Government take ownership of the assessment.

Findings
The findings emanating from the assessment are to be presented to the relevant Government and its
Ministries/Departments as the objective behind the exercise is to facilitate Governments in making informed policy
decisions and reforms. This assessment is to serve as a needs assessment regarding areas the Government needs to
focus on for “Good Governance.”
Scoring Mechanism
PILDAT has derived a scoring mechanism from the World Bank, which takes into account percentage changes in the
data for all implementation related sub-parameters between 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. These percentage changes
are computed using the Government's own performance in the previous year as the baseline, for instance if net
enrolment in Punjab increases from 60 million to 70 million (approx. 17% increase) and in Balochistan it increases from
30 million to 40 million (approx. 33% increase) then a higher score will be given to Balochistan, since the improvement
in terms of percentage change is greater for Balochistan than for Punjab. The change is then compared with the
average percentage change in a particular sub-parameter across all Provinces. A Province with a higher percentage
change than the average gets a higher score as compared to a Province with a lower percentage change as compared to
the average.
The indicators used for assessment are both positive and negative. A positive indicator is one for which an increase is
considered to be a positive aspect of governance. There is a direct relationship between a positive indicator and the
score assigned. For e.g. in the case of education, increase in the rate of enrolment is a positive change. Contrary to this
for a negative indicator the inverse is true. Increase in a negative indicator does not bode well in the context of
governance. Thus there is an indirect relationship between increase in a negative indicator and the score assigned to
the percentage change. For e.g. increase in reported crimes in the Province reflects negatively on the quality of
governance.
Formula:
X1= Value of sub parameter in Year 1
X2= Value of sub parameter in Year 2
X3= X2/X1 -1 (Percentage change in the sub parameter)
For sub parameters which are negative in the context of governance; for e.g. number of fatalities in a sectarian attack
IF X3 < = (Average – 2*Std Deviation), then assign a score of 5
IF X3 < = (Average – Std Deviation), then assign a score of 4
IF X3 < = Average, then assign a score of 3
IF X3 < = (Average + Std Deviation), then assign a score of 2
IF X3 < = (Average + 2*Std Deviation), then assign a score of 1
For sub parameters which are positive in the context of governance for e.g. primary school enrolment (the order of
scoring reverses);
IF X3 < =(Average – 2*Std Deviation), then assign a score of 1
IF X3 < = (Average – Std Deviation), then assign a score of 2
IF X3 < = Average, then assign a score of 3
IF X3 < = (Average + Std Deviation), then assign a score of 4
IF X3 < = (Average + 2*Std Deviation), then assign a score of 5
The scores are then normalised using the min/max technique and then aggregated for all sub parameters within a
primary parameter to arrive at a final score out of 5. Subsequently, all parameter scores are then aggregated to arrive at
the score for the whole Province.
Score Card
INTRODUCTION
Legal Framework / Policy Scoring
The evaluation mechanism for the legal framework/policy component for each parameter is also based on a scale of 1-
5; where 1 means lowest and 5 means highest. The 25 member Governance Assessment Group scored the legislation,
bills drafted or passed, amendments or revisions, rules and procedures pertinent to a specific governance parameter
and an average score was calculated to minimize subjectivity.
The scoring was based on a policy matrix, designed indigenously. The following is an example of the matrix. The
questions listed in the table are specific to Anti-Corruption only (to be used as an example).
Policy Matrix Sample

Definition of the Criteria:
1. Expected Impact/Outcome
How much would each regulatory option change the targeted behaviour or lead to improvements in conditions?
2. Cost-effectiveness
For a given level of response to a policy change, how much will legislation or a bill cost? Is it economically feasible, given
budget constraints?
3. Efficiency
Refers to use of resources. Does the proposed law or policy optimize use of resources and time?
4. Equity/Distributional Fairness
Taking into account that different policies will affect different groups of people differently, that some will bear more
costs while others will reap more benefits, the equity criterion considers whether a policy legislation or bill yields fair
distribution of impacts.
5. Relevance
Does the regulation or policy framework fulfil an existing gap or need with regards to the particular parameter under
consideration. Does it add value to the existing regulatory framework or is it redundant?
Limitations
This study emphasises explicit reporting of uncertainty about estimates of governance and availability of data
obtained, which is often lacking in most other governance datasets. It was found during the course of the project that
Governments do not collect certain types of data which was requested, they classify it differently than PILDAT's
framework or do not have consolidated databases for certain types of information.
A major limitation the Governments faced was the lack of updated survey data. Moreover, where surveys had been
conducted, like the MICS 2014 study in Punjab, the full reports were not publically available as of the finalizing of
PILDAT's assessment. The Governments were also slow in responding to requests for briefing sessions by PILDAT to
cover gaps in data. Due to these challenges, the data collection completion rates for each Government for this study are
98% for Punjab, 91% for Balochistan, 90% for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 88% for Sindh.
Data Collection Procedure

PILDAT Governance Assessment Project Team sent a request for support in data collection to the Chief Ministers of all
four Provincial Governments and to the Prime Minister for facilitation. The data collection process started in August
2015 and ended on January 20, 2016.
1. The Federal and Provincial Governments appointed focal persons for the purpose of collating and sharing
data from all relevant Provincial Departments and Federal Ministries/Divisions.

ensure his supervision for PILDAT's Governance Assessment.
4. Representatives from all Provincial Governments were invited to present preliminary findings on Governance
to the Governance Assessment Group (GAG) in October 2015.
5. The Federal Government briefed PILDAT on major governance developments in the second year of the
Federal Government.
6. For the collection of data, regular follow-ups were done to ensure systematic receipt of data forms shared
with the Governments.
7. The data collection process was delayed by 2.5 months due to slow response from the Government
Departments. The main reason given by focal persons was lack of efficiency of Departments in gathering
relevant information despite official orders being issued by the Chief Minister to share information requested
by PILDAT. Several requests were sent as reminders to the CM Offices in order to expedite the process.
8. Subsequently, Department focal persons were appointed by the Provincial P&DDs to expedite the data
collection process.
9. Due to severe delays in response by the Governments, another round of meetings was held with the
representatives from Provincial Government Departments in the month of January 2016, as a last resort to fill
data gaps.

INTRODUCTION
Future Considerations
The above-mentioned problems faced while obtaining data have highlighted the need to make the process easier for
the Departments. The framework is currently being revised for assessment of the quality of governance for the third
year of the Governments (2015-16) to make it more Departments specific in order to reduce the reliance on the
Planning and Development Department for coordinating with all the provincial Departments. The Governance project
team plans to approach Departments directly for the next cycle to minimize delays and improve the quality of the data
received through closer coordination.

The parameter determines the effectiveness of the Government in this regard by looking at data for inquiries,

Policy and Legal Framework

The Anti-Corruption Establishment of Balochistan (ACEB) is the primary institution dealing with the eradication of
6
corruption in the Province. It was established by the Balochistan Enquiries and Anti-Corruption Act, 2010, which
repealed the Balochistan Anti-Corruption Establishment Ordinance, 1961.
7
The Balochistan Enquiries and Anti Corruption (Functions, Powers and Procedure) Rules, 2011 prescribes the details
for operations of the ACEB, like the constitution of Provincial, Divisional and District Anti-Corruption Committees, their
functions, the process of inquiry, the procedures of committee meetings, and more.
The legal framework for curbing corruption has not seen any additions since the introduction of the aforementioned
Rules in 2011. However, as of 2015, the ACEB is considering delegating some powers from the post of Director General
(DG) to the post of Director, like in the Anti-Corruption Establishments of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This is
because the post of DG carries a significant amount of influence; for example, an inquiry into a case pertaining even an
officer of Basic Pay Scale (BPS)-1 has to be approved by the DG. By contrast, the post of Director is only the operational
head of the ACEB.
The Secretary of the Services and General Administration Department (S&GAD) in Balochistan is the ex officio DG of
8
the ACEB, whereas the Chief Secretary of Balochistan is the ex officio administrative Secretary of the ACEB.
Key Initiatives

Quality of Implementation
Total budgetary allocation for the anti-corruption efforts in Balochistan amounted to Rs. 46.15 million in 2013-2014,
and increased by 32.91% in 2014-2015 to Rs. 61.34 million. In both years, the allocation was a mere 0.03% of the
Provincial budget.
Actual spending for anti-corruption efforts increased from Rs. 36.5 million in 2013-2014 (i.e. 79.09% utilisation of
allocation) to Rs. 40.21 million in 2014-2015 (i.e. 65.55% utilisation of allocation). So, while the total actual spending
increased by 10.16% in 2014-2015, the utilisation fell by 13.54 percentage points.

In 2013-2014, the ACEB received 123 complaints, which increased to 144 complaints in 2014-2015, a 17.07% increase.
Against this, in 2013-2014, the ACEB initiated inquires/investigations into 20 cases, or 16.26 % of the total complaints
received. In contrast, 51 inquiries were initiated in 2014-2015, which is more than double the number of inquiries in in
2013-2014. It is pertinent to note that number of inquiries by the ACEB is the same as the number of investigations
conducted. This is because, unlike the National Accountability Bureau, the ACEB does not differentiate between an
initial inquiry and an investigation.

Of all the inquiries/investigations, only one was converted into an FIR in 2013-2014. Similarly, 3
inquiries/investigations were converted into FIRs in 2014-2015. According to ACEB, the overall low number of FIRs in
both years was due to the technical nature of the cases under investigation and the lack of appropriately trained
personnel at the ACEB to investigate these cases. Furthermore, new hires at the ACEB were inexperienced in the
investigation of white-collar crimes.
The number of cases challaned in the Anti-Corruption Court in Quetta was the same in both 2013-2014 and 2014-
2015, i.e. 10 cases. A challaned case in the Anti Corruption Court is one for which a final, complete challan is filed; a
completed challan contains details of every stage of the investigation in a case and also acts as a charge sheet.
In 2013-2014, only 1 case ended with a conviction by the Anti-Corruption Court, whereas 6 cases resulted in
convictions in 2014-2015. It should be noted, however, that according to the ACEB, the convictions in 2013-2014 and
2014-2015 cannot be related to the complaints and inquiries in these years, as convictions in any year can be from
cases in the same year or from previous years.

amount collected in 2013-2014.
Furthermore, there were no high profile cases from the last 10 years that were pending with the ACEB.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's anti-

While the efforts of the ACEB have been substantial in both years of observation, the utilisation of allocated budgets
should be improved. It is equally important that the ACEB recruit the requisite amount of technically trained individuals
to conduct investigations, as the lack of such a workforce is demonstrably limiting the ACEB's efforts. Nevertheless, the
ACEB's attempts at educating citizens about laws on anti-corruption is a very positive step, as it makes the eradication
of corruption in Balochistan a grassroots-level and citizen-inclusive endeavour. For the policy and implementation of
Anti-Corruption, PILDAT scored the Government's performance at 74.4%.

The allocated budget for maintaining law and order in Balochistan increased from Rs. 14.36 billion (8.90% of total
Provincial budget) in 2013-2014 to Rs. 18.27 billion (9.79% of total Provincial budget) in 2014-2015. The allocation in
2014-2015 was 27.22% more than the one in 2013-2014.
Total actual spending increased by 3.66% over the period observed: from Rs. 1.22 billion in 2013-2014 (8.53% of total
allocation) to Rs. 1.27 billion (6.95% of total allocation) in 2014-2015. The utilisation of the budget for peace, stability
and order, therefore, is not only low but further decreased by 1.58%.
The total number of law enforcement personnel in Balochistan increased by 5.22%, from 54,505 law enforcement
individuals in 2013-2014 to 57,352 law enforcement individuals in 2014-2015. As shown in Table 2, these figures are
the sums of the personnel of the Counter-Terrorism Force (CTF), Levies personnel (Federal and Provincial) along with
the Police and Balochistan Constabulary (BC) personnel in Balochistan.
Score Card
RULE OF LAW
The strength of the CTF remained the same over the two years, while that of the Levies personnel increased in 2014-
2015 by 8.20%. The combined forces of the Police and BC increased in 2014-2015 by 4.03%.
The police to population ratio (PPR) in Balochistan, i.e. the number of people per policeman, was nearly identical in
2013-2014 (1:213) and 2014-2015 (1:213.5). Considering the land mass and the population density of Balochistan,
20
along with the 1:222 PPR UN standard, Balochistan's PPR is highly commendable.
The total number of serious crimes in Balochistan – kidnappings for ransom, theft, armed robberies, rape and murders
– increased by 0.52% in 2014-2015 from 2013-2014. Of these crimes, the total number of reported rape cases, armed
robberies and kidnappings for ransom fell from 26, 389 and 40, respectively, in 2013-2014 to 11, 330 and 31 in 2014-
2015; the figures show that reported rape cases declined by 57.69%, armed robberies by 15.17% and kidnappings for
ransom by 22.50%.
However, incidences of murder increased by 7.74% from 1,253 in 2013-2014 to 1,350 in 2014-2015. The most
significant change in crime over the period of observation is the 82% increase in the number of thefts: from 50 cases in
2013-2014 to 91 cases in 2014-2015.
It is important to note that the number of people arrested for all crimes decreased by 23.13%, from 536 arrests in
2013-2014 to 412 arrests in 2014-2015. However, the number of First Information Reports (FIRs) filed in Balochistan
increased by 7.65% from 1,137 FIR filed in 2013-2014 to 1,224 FIR filed in 2014-2015.

Score Card
Therefore, the total number of arrests account for only 47.15% of all FIRs in 2013-2014 and 33.66% of all FIRs in 2014-
2015. More importantly, the number of people convicted for the crimes mentioned in Table 2 was 309 in 2013-2014
and increased by 0.52% in 2014-2015 to 310 convictions.
The number of bomb blasts in Balochistan has decreased from 255 blasts in 2013-2014 to 252 blasts in 2014-2015, a
decline of 1.18%. The number of sectarian attacks registered a sharp decline of 92.31%: 13 attacks occurred in 2013-
2014 whereas only one occurred in 2014-2015. The number of civilians, both targeted and bystanders, killed by
terrorist attacks fell from 313 individuals in 2013-2014 to a total of 140 individuals in 2014-2015, which is a decrease of
55.27%.
On the other hand, violence against security personnel saw a marked increase; armed assaults on police stations and
judicial centres increased from 46 assaults in 2013-2014 to 59 assaults in 2014-2015, which is an increase of 28.26%.
However, the number of security personnel martyred fell by 46.29%, from 175 individuals in 2013-2014 to 94
individuals in 2014-2015. The number of militants/insurgents killed by security personnel also declined by 12%, from
25 individuals in 2013-2014 to 22 individuals in 2014-2015.
Additionally, one Joint Investigation Team (JIT) was constituted during the 2013-2014 financial year for the attack on
21,22
Muhammad Ali Jinnah's Ziarat residence. No JIT was formed in financial year 2014-2015. The Home Department of
the Government of Balochistan chose not to share the status of the recommendations of the Ziarat JIT, stating that the
information is classified.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's efforts
23 24
to uphold law and order in Balochistan was 46% in 2013-2014. In 2014-2015, this figure decreased to 44%, indicating
a negative change in public perception regarding the peace and stability in Balochistan.
The Government of Balochistan's efforts towards ensuring peace in the Province have also placed emphasis on the
capacity building of LEAs to fight terrorism, with the help of the Army,25 and to reduce insurgency. However, criminal
26
convictions in Balochistan are still low due to loopholes in the criminal justice system and tribal customs. In 2014-
2015, the LEAs in Balochistan struggled to substantiate evidence against criminals and were having difficulty in
27
acquiring a forensics lab. Furthermore, under the National Action Plan, no effective action could be taken against
28
insurgents in 2014-2015. For the policy and implementation regarding Peace, Stability and Order, PILDAT scored the
Government's performance at 59.3%.

Score Card
RULE OF LAW
Transparency
This parameter assesses the Government's openness with regards to making information public and the citizens'
accessibility to relevant and timely information on public policy and public affairs.

No new laws or policies were introduced in 2014-2015 to improve the access to information for citizens in Balochistan.
29 30
In addition to Article 19A of the Constitution of Pakistan, the Balochistan Freedom of Information Act, 2005 remains
the sole basis for providing citizens access to information regarding the Government of Balochistan's institutions and
Departments. The Act was enacted in December 2005, while the Freedom of Information Rules, 2007 were notified
31
nearly two years later. The Rules provide guidelines for the procedure of information requests. There have been no
additions to this legal framework since 2007.
The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act provides access to information held by the legislative, judicial and executive
levels of the Government. However, while the law considers information regarding all Government bodies as public
record, it offers several exceptions to the sort of information that is to be made accessible to citizens. More importantly,
there is inadequate consideration given to curtailing these exemptions where the disclosure of information may favour
public interest. The law does not require the formation of a dedicated appellate forum and the Government is given
considerable discretionary powers in notifying or defining additional exemptions. The requesting procedure also does
32
not ensure inexpensive, timely and all-inclusive access to information.
As per the law, in order to file an information request, a citizen must first approach the Department concerned. If the
33
Department does not provide the information, Section 18 of the FOI Act gives citizens the right to recourse to the
Provincial Ombudsman to redress their grievances.
Furthermore, the FOI Act does not adequately restrict the right of appeal against decisions made on information
requests, which is detrimental to the autonomous working of the Balochistan Ombudsman. The Act also does not make
34
it mandatory for requests to be decided within a set a timeframe; for example, 30 days or 60 days.
Key Initiatives
A new Right to Information Bill has been drafted and is currently under consideration by the Provincial Assembly.
The data for this analysis was obtained from the office of the Balochistan Ombudsman and was organised by calendar
year dates (January to December) instead of financial year dates (July to June). The only exception was the data for the
number of information officers trained, which is organised as per financial year dates; the Government of Balochistan

Balochistan’s efforts to be transparent in 2013-2014 was 39%. In 2014-2015, the Approval Rating declined to 24%.
The Government of Balochistan's transparency apparatus is out-dated and ineffective, owing to the inherent

The allocated budget for agricultural development rose by 52.60%, from Rs. 2.29 billion in 2013-2014 to Rs. 3.49 billion
in 2014-2015. The budget allocation in 2013-2014 constituted 5.57% of the total development budget for the year,
whereas the allocation for 2014-2015 was 6.88% of the total development budget. Considering the importance of the
agriculture sector to the Provincial economy, the allocations in both years represented a very small proportion of the
total development budget of Balochistan.
Actual spending of the budget in 2013-2014 was Rs. 1.12 billion (49% utilisation of allocation), whereas in 2014-2015 a
total of Rs. 2.76 billion (79% utilisation of allocation) were spent for agricultural development. The actual spending in
2014-2015 was 146.03% more than in 2013-2014, meaning it more than doubled in the two years of observation. More
importantly, budget utilisation increased by 30 percentage points.

very positive step by addressing the knowledge and awareness of the Province's farmers. However, further
observation is required to assess what effect farmer trainings will have on agriculture in Balochistan, as the benefit can

collected in taxes; this is 39.98% higher than the Rs. 440.51 million tax target for the year. It should be noted that actual
tax collection in 2014-2015 increased by 17.28%, despite a 8.71% higher target.
However, the public did not recognise this improvement. According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of
40
Governance, the Approval Rating for tax collection in Balochistan stood at 35% in 2013-2014 and dropped to 34% in in

Despite a relatively low number of taxpayers in the Province, the Government of Balochistan was able to successfully
exceed its targets for tax revenue collection in both years of observation. Moreover, in 2014-2015, it further improved
its actual collection, indicating progress. However, it should be noted that, for a primarily agriculture-based economy,
Balochistan has a very small number of agriculture income taxpayers. Additionally, the lack of a comprehensive
database of taxpayers is a key governance gap. Nevertheless, the Government's performance in the Collection of Taxes
received a score of 75.4%.

In 2014-2015, the Provincial Cabinet in Balochistan approved a policy guideline for the implementation of the
Provincial Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) 2015-16. Additionally, a Core Committee of the Provincial
Cabinet, consisting of two members from each coalition party, was established to reach consensus and guide the
consultative process of designing the PSDP. Apart from Cabinet Core Committee, a Priority Committee was also
constituted under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Balochistan to finalise and design the priority projects of
respective departments/sectors to be included in PSDP 2015-16.
Key Initiatives
1. The Government of Balochistan's development programmes for 2014-2015 placed special emphasis on the
development of the education, healthcare, and agriculture sectors, along with focusing on the alleviation of
poverty in the Province.
2. A four-tier system of Quarterly Progress Review meetings was instated with involvement of individual
Departments, the Planning and Development (P&DD) Department, the Chief Secretary's Office and the Chief
Minister Secretariat.
3. The office of Director General Implementation (DGI) has been made fully functional, with logistical and
human resource support from the P&DD. The DGI is responsible for the implementation of projects that
require special attention or have been stopped due to unknown reasons.
4. The office of Director General Monitoring and Evaluation has also been made fully functional and is

15.49%. While the allocation has increased, the development budget remains less than a quarter of the total budget of
Balochistan.
Actual spending of the development budget increased by 21.95%: from Rs. 36.9 billion in 2013-2014 (or 84.05% of total
allocation) to Rs. 45 billion (or 88.76% of total allocation). The utilisation of the allocated amount, therefore, only
increased by 4.70 percentage points between the two years of observation.
With regards to block allocations – i.e. funds that are not specifically assigned to a project or a location and are left to
the discretion of the relevant authority – the funds in 2013-2014 amounted to Rs. 17.6 billion (40.09% of the 2013-2014
PSDP). In 2014-2015, this amount fell by 63.64% to Rs. 6.4 billion (12.62% of the 2014-2015 PSDP). This is an
improvement, as it indicates that the Government was more adept at predicting its needs, assigning funds as per
requirement and making transparent allocations.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's
42 43
development efforts in 2013-2014 stood at 45%. In 2014-2015, this Approval Rating declined to 25%.
The Government of Balochistan is highly dependent on Federal funds for its development efforts and as such is still
limited in its capacity to deliver tangible results. This might also explain the negative change in public perception.
Nevertheless, development in Balochistan has seen positive steps, as the Government is now in a better position to
monitor and evaluate its schemes and projects. For the policies and implementation of its Development Programmes,
the Government's performance received a score of 59.6%.

Electricity Production and Management
This parameter assesses the Provincial Government's initiatives to manage the total installed and dependable
electricity capacity in the Province. It also takes stock of the total budget allocation for electricity production and
management.

There have been no new additions to the legal framework regarding the production and management of electricity in
44
Balochistan. The existing framework includes the Balochistan Power Generation Policy, 2007 and the National Electric
Power Regulatory Authority Rules, the imposition of which falls under the purview of the Energy Department of the
45
Government of Balochistan.
The Energy Department is charged with providing licenses to independent contractors for power generation, village
electrification and development of power generation through renewable, mini-hydroelectric and thermal sources.
Key Challenges
1. Balochistan currently faces an electricity shortfall, which increased by 18.43% in 2014-2015: from 700
Megawatts (MW) in 2013-2014 to 829 MW in 2014-2015.
2. The electricity produced indigenously in Balochistan is generated entirely by private sector providers, with a
cumulative installed capacity of 59 MW.
3. As of 2014-2015, out of the 32 districts in the Province, 5 are still not connected to the national grid and load
shedding in rural areas lasts as many as 18-19 hours per day.
4. Total circular debt in the power sector increased by 37.69% in 2014-2015: from Rs. 89.45 billion in 2013-2014
to Rs. 123.16 billion in 2014-2015.

Score Card
As per the data provided by the Government of Balochistan, the allocated budget for increasing the generation of
electricity in the Province, through a new 50 MW coal plant, declined by 90% over the two years of observation: from
Rs. 500 million in 2013-2014 to Rs. 50 million in 2014-2015.
However, none of these funds were utilised, as actual spending remained zero in both 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The
reason for this is that the Government has not been able to conduct a feasibility study for the 50 MW coal plant and,
therefore, has been unable to begin the bidding process to award the construction of the project to anyone. This is a
crucial governance gap as it is a clear indication of the Government's inability to affect change in the power crisis that
currently prevails in Balochistan.
The Government's performance has also been reflected in a poor public perception of its efforts. According to PILDAT's
Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's efforts for energy production
46 47
and management fell from 40% in 2013-2014 to 18% in 2014-2015.
Overall, the Government of Balochistan has shown no progress in ameliorating the energy crisis in the Province. With a
Provincial economy that is primarily agriculture-based and an agriculture sector that accounts for up 71% of all
48
electricity consumption, the Government of Balochistan should prioritise electricity production. PILDAT scored the
Government's performance for Electricity Production and Management at 50.0%.

This parameter assesses the investment environment in the Province and the ease of doing business. Due to a lack of
data for this parameter, PILDAT only scored the Provincial Government’s policies and legal framework for improving
the investment climate in the Province.

The Government of Balochistan reconstituted the Balochistan Board of Investment (BBOI) on October 27, 2014. The
BBOI aims to promote investment in Balochistan, both foreign and local, through public private partnerships;
development of investment opportunities for small, medium and large investors; and through value-addition
investment initiatives for the agriculture, fisheries, mining, livestock and tourism sectors, among other areas.49
No new laws or rules have been introduced for promoting investment in the Province. However, there are Federal laws
covering the area of foreign investment protection and promotion; specifically, the Foreign Private Investment
(Promotion & Protection) Act, 197650 and the Protection of Economic Reforms Act, 1992.51
Key Initiatives
The Managing Director of the BBOI was deputed on May 15, 2015.
Thus far, the Government of Balochistan has no mechanism of determining the total amount of private domestic and
foreign investment currently occurring in the Province. According to the Managing Director of the BBOI, however, no
foreign investment was retracted from the Province in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.

Score Card
The prevailing corporate tax rate for foreign investors in Balochistan is the one set by the Federal Board of Revenue
53
(FBR). The rate fell from 34% in 2013-2014 to 33% in 2014-2015.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's efforts
54 55
at improving investment friendliness in the Province was 32% in both in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. Public
perception, therefore, is low and has not changed over the two years of observation.
While the lack of a monitoring system for private investment of all kinds in Balochistan is a governance gap, the
Government of Balochistan now has an institutional framework to promote and improve investment in the Province.
Thus far, there has been no measurable improvement in the investment climate of the Province. It is hoped that the
reconstituted BBOI can bring an effective change in said climate. The policies and institutional framework regarding
Investment Friendliness in Balochistan received a score of 54.6%.

This parameter takes a look at the Government's control of unemployment in Balochistan, by observing changes in the
unemployment rate as well as job creation in the public sector.

No new laws or policies were introduced in 2014-2015, nor were any committees or bodies created or reconstituted for
the express purpose of addressing unemployment in the Province.
Key Initiatives
1. The Labour & Manpower Department and the Industries and Commerce Department provided vocational

The urban unemployment rate increased by 0.01 percentage points from 3.34% in 2013-2014 to 3.35% in 2014-2015.
The rural unemployment rate also increased similarly: from 5.81% in 2013-2014 to 5.82% in 2014-2015.
As per the details of the PSDP, the Government's budget allocation for the Skill Development Programme, through the
Balochistan Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority, decreased by 87.50%; the allocation in 2014-2015
was Rs. 50 million, compared to Rs. 400 million in 2013-2014.
The estimated number of new jobs in the public sector in Balochistan rose from 9,528 positions in 2013-2014 to 14,263
58
positions in 2014-2015, an increase of 53.47%. The public sector is an important source of employment in
59
Balochistan. However, the data provided for job creation in the Province’s Public Sector is an approximation of filled
positions in the Government and does not give a full picture of the situation on the ground.

management unemployment fell from 19% in 2013-2014 to 9% in 2014-2015. Public perception regarding the
Government's efforts to manage unemployment is, therefore, very negative.

Balochistan, but has managed to stem its overall increase. The Government's policies and their implementation for
Management of Unemployment have received a score of 42.9%.

Water Resource Development and Management
This parameter examines the Government's performance in conserving and effectively managing water resources for
agricultural development, such as irrigation canals and tube wells.

In 2014-2015, no new laws were passed regarding the conservation and development of water for irrigation. The
61
Balochistan Ground Water Right Administration Rules, 2014 were notified in accordance with the Balochistan Ground
62
Water Rights Administration Ordinance, 1978. The Rules outline the constitution as well as the procedures of
meetings of the Provincial Water Board. The Board is charged with devising policies for the conservation and
development of ground water resources and to administer ground water rights.
Additionally, a total of six committees were formed that monitored the feasibility and accuracy of development
schemes, identifying new and viable development schemes, evaluating matters pertaining to the supply of irrigation
water to Balochistan and overseeing the repair of machinery to be used for dams, protection of bunds or other
schemes.
Key Initiatives
1. Eligible candidates for 362 posts (BPS-1 to 15) were appointed by the Irrigation Department.
2. An affective anti-encroachment campaign of Habib Nallah, which was obstructing flood-flow, was launched
as per court order and most of the illegal encroachments were dismantled. For follow-up action/monitoring, a
committee under the Chairmanship of Secretary Irrigation Department was constituted /notified.

With a view to protect, preserve and manage wildlife, along with the establishment and management of protected
65
areas in the Province, the Balochistan (Wildlife Protection, Preservation, Conservation and Management) Act, 2014
was passed. The Act also provides for the implementation of international conventions and has a comprehensive list of

In 2013-2014, the Balochistan Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act, 2014 was passed. The Act provides
for the institutionalising of measures that prevent and protect women against domestic violence. The Act also defines
key terms such as “domestic violence” and “assault,” in compliance with the Pakistan Penal Code.
The Act was formulated by the Government of Balochistan's Women Development Department, which is charged with

Figure 18 shows a comparative view of the differences in the literacy rates in Balochistan. In 2013-2014, the female
77
literacy rate stood at a mere 28.7% compared to the 70.30% male literacy rate. In 2014-2015, the literacy rates for
both women and men increased to 33% and 72%, respectively. It should be noted that, while the male literacy rate was
still higher in 2014-2015, the change in female literacy (4.30 percentage points) was greater than the change in the
male literacy rate (1.70 percentage points). Consequently, the gap between male and female literacy fell from 41.60
percentage points in 2013-2014 to 39 percentage points in 2014-2015. This is a commendable development, as it
indicates that the education of women is being given due focus.
The number of maternal wards in the Province (i.e. Government medical health facilities that provide dedicated
maternal healthcare) remained the same in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015: 120. As a measure of the provision of mother
and child healthcare, this shows that no change has occurred in the two years of observation.

In 2013-2014, the total number of registered voters in Balochistan was 3.34 million; of this, 1.92 million (57.35%) were
male voters, whereas 1.42 million (42.65%) were female voters. In 2014-2015, the total number of registered voters in
the Province fell by 0.16% to 3.33 million; out of this, 1.91 million (57.42%) were male voters, while 1.42 million
(42.58%) were female voters. Overall, the gender ratio of registered voters remained the same in both years, with
78
negligible changes.
In 2013-2014, all 65 seats in the Provincial Assembly were filled: 53 seats (81.54%) held by male members and 12 seats
(18.46%) by female members; of the 53 male seats, 3 were reserved whereas 11 were reserved out of the total 12 seats
for women. The number of female members of the Assembly remained the same in 2014-2015, but the number of
male members decreased to 52, as one seat was vacant at the end of 2014-2015.
Therefore, there was only one female member of the Assembly in an unreserved seat in both years, compared to the 50
male members of the Assembly in 2013-2014 and 49 male members in 2014-2015. Furthermore, as per the provisions
79
of the Balochistan Local Government Act, 2010, a mere 33% quota is reserved for women in Local Councils.
The Government of Balochistan was not able to provide a detailed, gender-wise breakdown of all high-ranking
bureaucrats from grade BPS-17 to 21. As stated in the Merit-Based Recruitment and Promotions section of this report,
the Government does not have a consolidated database of all Government employees in all Departments.
As noted in the Management of Unemployment section of this report, the overall unemployment rate in Balochistan
80,81
fell by 0.04 percentage points. The female employment rate increased from 7.55% in 2013-2014 to 8.54%, which is

nearly a 1 percentage point increase. In contrast, the male unemployment rate fell from 3.58% in 2013-2014 to 2.84%
in 2014-2015, which is a 0.74 percentage point decrease. Male unemployment was 3.97 percentage points lower than
female employment in 2013-2014. In 2014-2015, this gap rose to 5.7 percentage points.
The decline in unemployment, therefore, positively affected only men in Balochistan and women now account for an
even larger percentage of unemployed individuals.
In 2013-2014, 4,515 individuals were enroled in vocational training institutes; out of this, male enrolment was 3,294
individuals, or 72.96% of those enroled. In contrast, female enrolment in vocational institutes was 27.04%, or 1,221
individuals of the total enroled.
By 2014-2015, total enrolment in vocational institutes fell by 2.70% to 4,393 individuals, out of which male enrolment
accounted for 73.80%, or 3,244 individuals. Female enrolment stood at 26.16%, or 1,149 individuals.
In 2013-2014, there were 2,073 more male students than female students in vocational institutes; in 2014-2015, there
were 2,095 more male students than female students. Therefore, the gender gap in enrolment increased as the
number of male students increased while female students decreased. In other words, women were the more
disadvantaged social group with regards to vocational training enrolment as the decline in vocational enrolment
affected women more than men.
The assessment above shows that gender parity in Balochistan has not been significantly affected in favour of women.
The participation of women in the democratic, legislative and employment spheres has not changed significantly and
women are still more disadvantaged than men. The Government's efforts for promoting Gender Equality received a
score of 57.1%.

Poverty is a key social issue in Balochistan, where 52% of the population is considered to be poor and where a
89
cumulative 92% of all children are malnourished. According to the data provided, the Government of Balochistan has
taken comprehensive steps to combat poverty. However, the impact of these initiatives remains to be seen as no recent
survey regarding the poverty headcount ratio or other key poverty indicators has been conducted. Furthermore, it
should be noted that the increased utilisation of the budget for poverty programmes was outweighed by the decrease
in the allocation and overall spending on poverty alleviation programmes. Nevertheless, based on the available data,
the overall efforts by the Government for Poverty Alleviation received a score of 65.4%.

The contraceptive prevalence rate increased from 19% in 2013-2014 to 20.10% in 2014-2015, an increase of 1.10
percentage points. According to the most up-to-date data as of the finaliasing of this report, the average household size
91
in Balochistan is 7.9 people per household in 2013-2014. No survey exists for the year 2014-2015.
Based on the data available, the Government of Balochistan has not made significant strides in the management of the
Province's population. While key indicators suggest that steady growth has been sustained, the prevalence of
contraceptives in very low. However, this is likely due to the stigma associated with their use, the lack of available
92
choices in contraceptive methods and the overall lack of access to contraceptives altogether. Nevertheless, for the
Management of Population Growth, the Government's performance received a score of 48.7%.

Education
This parameter assesses the Provincial Government's efforts to advance literacy by ensuring universal and quality
education through higher enrolment, better budget allocations and by improving the teacher-to-student ratio at the
Government's educational institutions.

While no new laws were introduced in 2014-2015, the Government of Balochistan introduced key legislation regarding
education in 2013-2014. The first was the Balochistan Introduction of Mother Languages as Compulsory Additional
93
Subject at Primary Level Act, 2014, which aims to institutionalise the teaching of mother languages by making them
compulsory, in addition to instruction in the national language. Additionally, the Balochistan Compulsory Education
94
Act, 2014 was passed.
However, it should be noted that the Balochistan Compulsory Education Act, 2014 only provides for education to be
mandatory for all, but not free of cost. In fact, the Act repeals the Balochistan Compulsory and Free Education
Ordinance, 2013.

However, the infant mortality rate in Balochistan remained the same in both years: 104 deaths per 1,000 live births.
The reported cases of communicable and non-communicable diseases (i.e. diabetes, hepatitis, cancer, cholera,
tuberculosis, dengue, malaria) increased from 2.83 million cases in 2013-2014 to 2.99 million cases in 2014-2015,
which is an increase of 5.80%. However, no data was available for the number of deaths from these diseases. The
availability of data on deaths in Balochistan is a significant issue, as most outpatient deaths are not reported. In-patient
deaths in medical facilities are also not properly recorded due to a lack of cooperation from the grieved with medical
staff, as the deceased are promptly taken away for burial.
The total number of patients treated in Government-owned facilities increased by 42.03%, from 3.98 million people in
2013-2014 to 5.65 million people in 2014-2015.
All Basic Health Units (BHUs) in Balochistan fall under the direct purview of the PPHI Balochistan. BHU numbers
increased from 607 in 2013-2014 to 641 PHUs in 2014-2015, an increase of 5.60%. The total number of doctors in these
BHUs, however, decreased by 4.72% between the two years: from 318 doctors in 2013-2014 to 302 doctors in 2014-
2015. Therefore, BHUs in Balochistan were even more understaffed in 2014-2015.
Lastly, the number of hospital beds in public sector facilities increased by 26.38%, from 4,116 beds in 2013-2014 to

According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for Government-provided
123 124
healthcare was 42% in 2013-2014 and fell to 35% in 2014-2015. This indicates that the public is increasingly
dissatisfied with the Government's efforts towards the provision of effective healthcare.
While BHUs are insufficiently staffed and also lack resources, it should be noted that, given the size of the Province and
how widely spread-out its population is, the effective provision of any service is a challenge. Nevertheless, the
Government should institutionalise means to facilitate the reporting of deaths. The Government of Balochistan's
performance in the provision of Healthcare received a score of 59.8%.

In 2013-2014, 2.1 million children were immunised against polio (99% coverage); in 2014-2015, this number increased
by 5% to 2.2 million children (98% coverage). In contrast, a total of 63% of the Province's children were immunised in
2013-2014 against polio and other diseases, like measles. In 2014-2015, this proportion fell by 7 percentage points to
56%.
Furthermore, of the 32 districts in Balochistan, polio surveillance through environmental samples was conducted in
only one district in 2013-2014; this increased to 2 districts by 2014-2015. While the geographical size of Balochistan
and its low population density present a considerable challenge in surveillance, the actual surveillance was
nevertheless too low.
Lastly, the total number of reported cases of polio increased drastically over a two-year period. While no cases were
reported in 2013, 29 cases were reported in 2014. According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance,
132
the Approval Rating for the Government's immunisation efforts increased from 50% in 2013-2014 to 79% in 2014-

2015. This shows that the public feels that the Government's work to reduce cases of polio has improved.
While the Government maintained the rate of immunisation against polio and increased their spending on regular
polio campaigns, the number of polio cases still increased significantly. As per PILDAT's analysis, the Government's
performance for the Immunisation of Children received a score of 45.0%.

This parameter is an examination of the proportion of people who have access to safe drinking water. “Access” to Safe
drinking water is understood as the proportion of people using improved drinking water sources (i.e. household
connections, public standpipes, boreholes, protected dug wells, protected springs, and rainwater).

In 2014-2015, there were no new additions to the legal framework for the provision of safe drinking water in
Balochistan. A draft for a Drinking Water Policy Strategy and Action Plan has been submitted to the P&DD for vetting
and endorsement.
Key Initiatives
1. Drinking water supply sector plan initiated in collaboration with UNICEF and consultation with all
stakeholders; so far, resource mapping has been done, stakeholders' analysis has been completed and a draft

Access to drinking water is an important right and is part of the Millennium Development Goals. The provision of this
facility in Balochistan is particularly challenging, especially considering the drought-like conditions in much of the
136
Province. Moreover, the challenges faced by the Provincial Government in this area are often compounded by

Sanitation (Sewerage, Solid Waste Collection and Disposal)
This parameter assesses the Government’s provision of sewerage and solid waste collection facilities. It looks at the
number of people who have access to a source of sanitation.

The provision of sanitation and solid waste collection is a Local Government function in Balochistan. In 2014-2015, no
new additions have been made to the legal framework regarding the provision of these services.
As per the estimates provided by the Government of Balochistan's Local Government Board, around 50% of the
Province's population had access to a solid waste collection system in both 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. By comparison,
139
33% of the population had access to sanitation in Balochistan in 2013-2014. No survey data for 2014-2015 was
available against this indicator at the time of finalising PILDAT's analysis.
The allocated budget for the provision of a sewerage system in 2014-2015 was 21 times higher than in 2013-2014; it
increased from Rs. 2.36 million in 2013-2014 to Rs. 50 million in 2014-2015. Of this amount, 100% of the allocation in
2013-2014 was spent, whereas Rs. 45 million, or 90% of the allocation, was spent in 2014-2015. Total actual spending in

shows a growing dissatisfaction among the public regarding access to sanitation.
The Government of Balochistan's commitment to improve the provision of sanitation for its citizens can be seen from
the nearly complete utilisation of a much higher budget in 2014-2015. However, the analysis above has relied on
limited data and includes, at least in one instance, an estimate. Furthermore, while the provision of sanitation is a Local
Government function, there is no mechanism in place to monitor the provision of this crucial service to the public. As

This parameter examines the capacity of the Government to anticipate and respond to natural calamities in the
Province. This capacity is gauged primarily through the legislative, institutional and procedural set-up in place for
disaster relief and management along with the monetary resources available for relief items and the size of a trained
disaster management force.

The legal framework in Balochistan for disaster management in based on the provisions of the National Disaster
Management Act, 2010.142 No new additions have been formalised in the Province's framework regarding the disaster
management apparatus. However, in 2014-2015, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) undertook
the following:
1. Preparation of a comprehensive 5-year Provincial Disaster Risk Management (DRM) Plan.

2. Preparation of a comprehensive Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) document aimed at
engaging communities directly.
3. Creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for emergency response.
4. A comprehensive logistics plan for emergency stockpiles.
5. A Multi-Hazard and Risk Assessment Study of Quetta conducted.
These are currently awaiting approval from the Provincial Disaster Management Commission, which is chaired by the
Chief Minister of Balochistan and have not yet been made public.

In 2013-2014, the PDMA was allocated a budget of Rs. 3,047 million, which increased by 0.08% in 2014-2015 to Rs.
3,049.5 million. In Balochistan, the PDMA is given a one-line budget which does not include specific allocations, e.g. for
awareness programmes, disaster related interventions, preventions efforts etc. The Finance Department releases the
amount meant for human resource expenditure to the PDMA, but retains the remaining allocation. These funds are
given to the PDMA only when a disaster occurs.
To this end, the actual spending by the PDMA in both years remained the same, i.e. Rs. 45.969 million. Additionally,
according to the PDMA, the value of reserve of emergency stocks of tents and other relief goods at hand in both years
also remained the same, i.e. Rs. 285.13 million.
While there was no formal Provincial disaster management force in 2013-2014, a rapid rescue and response team
consisting of 55 individuals was created in 2014-2015. The total number of employees at the PDMA itself was 184 in
2013-2014. This was against a sanctioned strength of 191 individuals, meaning that only 96.34% of positions were filled
in the PDMA. In 2014-2015, the sanctioned strength increased to 227 individuals, but the actual number of people
working at the PDMA was 218, meaning that only 96.04% of the sanctioned positions for the year were filled.
As per PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for disaster preparedness and

citizens of Balochistan do not feel that the Government has been more prepared for disasters in 2014-2015.
While the PDMA is taking important steps in improving its disaster preparedness, the Government as a whole is not yet

Public Transport
This parameter assesses the legal framework and management of the public transport in Balochistan.

There is no publically owned and operated system of transportation in Balochistan. Privately owned companies
operate the only transport available to citizens in the Province. The Government of Balochistan has not introduced any
changes to the legal framework for providing a public system of transportation in 2014-2015.
Institutionally, the Provincial Transport Authority (PTA) in Balochistan is charged with implementing the provisions of
147
the Motor Vehicles Ordinance, 1965; specifically, the Authority grants inter-provincial route permits to vehicles,
coordinates with Regional Transport Authorities, fixes fare rates for certain kinds of vehicles and is responsible for
148
traffic control and monitoring of highways.
Due to its lack of a public transport system, the Government of Balochistan had no data against the key indicators
required for PILDAT's analysis. These indicators were: number of users/passengers of public buses in an average day;
number of passengers who used Intra-City transport provided by the Public Sector or Public-Private Partnerships (in
Millions); total budget allocation for public transport systems in the Province (Rs. in Million); and finally, total actual
spending on Public Transport systems in the Province (Rs. in Million). The following discussion is based on data for the
Transport Department.
The allocated budget for the transport department in 2013-2014 stood at Rs. 45.84 million. In 2014-2015, this
allocation increased by 9.63% to Rs. 50.256 million. In both years, the allocation represented 0.04% of the total

increase in the public's discontentment regarding the availability of transport in Balochistan.
The lack of a Government-owned system of public transport in the Province is a significant governance gap. The
availability of efficient and affordable transportation is an important economic right. Reliance on private companies to
provide transport may not ensure access to transport in, for example, remote areas, where the demand for transport,
i.e. the number of people in need of transport, is low; therefore, the profits from these routes will also be low.
Furthermore, the regulation of fare rates by the PTA may not be an effective way to ensure affordability of transport.
While the PTA may be able to curb excessive hikes in rates, it may still only do so to an extent, as the PTA must also
ensure that private transport providers remain profitable enough to continue operating in Balochistan. Based on the
information available, the Government of Balochistan received a score of 41.3% in Public Transport.

Devolution of Powers to Local Governments

This parameter assesses the Government of Balochistan's efforts in devolving powers and transferring adequate
financial resources to the Provincial authorities, such that the Local Governments can make decisions independently as
per the needs of the people within a locality.

In Balochistan, the primary legislation for the devolution of power to Local Governments is the Balochistan Local
155
Government Act, 2010. This Act provides for the creation of Local Governments in Balochistan, defines their
structure, constitution and their functions. These Local Government entities consist of Union Councils and District
Councils for rural areas and Municipal Committees, Municipal Corporations and Metropolitan Corporations for urban
156 157
areas. The Balochistan Local Government Delimitation Rules, 2011 outline the procedure for dividing areas into
electoral units.
The rules for Local Government elections were amended through the Balochistan Local Government (Election) Rules,
158
2013. The Amendment removed the provision for a secret ballot and required the selection of chairmen and vice-
159
chairmen through a show of hands. However, the Balochistan High Court (BHC) struck this down.
Since its promulgation, the Balochistan Local Government Act itself has been amended 5 times. The Act was amended
160
thrice in 2013-2014, once to change minor wording in some parts of the law; however, the amendment passed on
161
January 27, 2014 stipulated that 5% of reserved seats were to be given to professionals and social workers. The BHC
later declared this Amendment repugnant to the Constitution and, therefore, void. This was later also formalised by
the Balochistan Local Government (Amendment) Act, 2015 which was passed on March 05, 2015.162 The Amendment
restored the original wording of Section 12(2), thus maintaining a 5% representation in Local Councils by peasants but
not social workers or professionals.
Key Initiatives
1. Balochistan was the first Province to hold Local Government elections.
163
a. Polling for the first phase of the elections took place on December 7, 2013.
b. The second phase of the election was delayed due to a petition filed by the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami
Party (PkMAP) regarding the amendments to the Local Government laws; polling for the second phase
164
eventually occurred on May 29, 2014.

this date and on February 16, 2015.
2. In 2014-2015, Rs. 83.4 million were spent on five schemes with total approved allocation of Rs. 160 million;
the schemes were for the construction of community halls, Local Government offices and improvement in
168
sewerage.
The amount of PSDP funds secured for Local Governments during 2014-2015 was Rs. 1.5 billion (i.e. 2.96% of the total
PSDP). In 2013-2014, no such funds were allocated. Before the establishment of Local Governments in Balochistan,
funds were given to Members of the Provincial Assembly for development work in their constituencies. However, the
169
Supreme Court brought this practice into question.
Local Councils maintain their own records with regards to the physical progress of their schemes and the funds spent
on them. The Government of Balochistan, therefore, has no consolidated record of how much was spent by Local
Governments in 2014-2015.
Funding to Local Governments in Balochistan is given through grants. These grants are provided through a Local
Councils Grants Committee, which uses a formula to distribute funds. This formula is partly based on the size of the
population under a Local Government body's charge. Local Councils then have to devise schemes for the utilisation of
these funds. After their schemes are reviewed and approved by the Local Government and Rural Development
Department, the allocated funds are released and provided to Local Governments.

Score Card
During both 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, there were thirty-five subjects under Local Governments. These include the
170
compulsory functions of urban and rural councils. Furthermore, urban councils also have ten optional functions.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating of the public for the
171 172
Government of Balochistan's devolution efforts was 57% in 2013-2014. In 2014-2015, the public was polled on
Government's efforts for devolution on three fronts: establishment of Local Governments (51%), effective devolution
of powers (25%) and distribution of resources to Local and Provincial Governments (27%). The overall average
Approval Rating for 2014-2015 is 34.3%.
There have been positive steps in devolving powers to Local Governments in Balochistan. However, Local Government
elections unfolded over the course of more than a year, mainly due to the amendments to the Local Government Act
and Election Rules and the political resistance to them. Additionally, elected councillors reportedly did not have
173
effective influence on the financial and administrative aspects of local governance. This is a critical governance gap,
as the process of devolution is being kept from taking root. For the Devolution of Powers to Local Governments, the
Government of Balochistan's performance received an overall score of 77.7%, one of the Government's highest scores.

Merit-Based Recruitments and Promotions
This parameter considers the number of important recruitments in Government departments and institutions. It
measures changes in the number of appointments made through the Department Selection Boards and reviewed by
the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) and the number of position openings that were advertised by the
BPSC.

174
The primary basis of all appointments in the Government of Balochistan is the Balochistan Civil Servant Act, 1974.
This Act provides the broad terms and conditions for the recruitment, promotion, probation, termination and other
aspects of the appointment of civil servants of various grades in the Province. Additionally, the Civil Servants
175
(Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 2009 along with the Balochistan Civil Posts Recruitment Policy,
176 177
1991 and the Balochistan Government Rules of Business, 2012 further outline the method and criteria of directly
appointing, promoting or transferring civil servants of all grades. Broadly, the rules stipulate that a Department
Promotion Committee or a Department Selection Board will appoint or promote officers of BPS-1 to 15. The
composition of these entities is at the Departments' discretion.
The Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) was established by the Balochistan Public Service Commission Act,
178
1989 and is governed by the Balochistan Public Service Commission (Functions) Rules, 1995. The BPSC has a Board of
179
Governors, of which the Chief Secretary is a member. The BPSC makes recommendations for appointments for all
180
vacant posts of BPS-16 to18 that fall under the direct appointment quota.
However, according to the Services and General Administration Department (S&GAD) of the Government of
Balochistan, this quota amounts to only 35% of all direct appointments of BPS-16 to 18 officers in any year. The
remaining are appointed through promotions by the Department Promotions Committee. This is in addition to
geographical quotas stated in the Balochistan Civil Posts Recruitment Policy, 1991.181 Additionally, the S&GAD is
responsible for the processing of certain promotions and transfers of civil servants.182
The Provincial Selection Board, which is headed by the Chief Secretary, makes appointments through promotions for
BPS-19 to BPS-21. According to the S&GAD, the only exception to this rule is teaching positions in a few Government
institutions, like the Balochistan Agriculture College.
No new additions were made to this legal framework for recruitments and promotions in 2014-2015. A total of four
Department Selection Committees were formed to make recruitment recommendation for officers of BPS-1 to 15.

the Province increased from 9,528 officers of all grades in 2013-2014 to 14,623 officers of all grades in 2014-2015,
which is a 53.47% increase. The Government of Balochistan was unable to provide compiled data for the total number

Committees, they made 66.49% of all appointments in 2014-2015, which is a decrease of 33.51%. This was due to the
increased number of NTS-assisted appointments, which increased by 33.51% in 2014-2015. Based on the data
provided by the Government, no ad-hoc appointments were made.
The number of autonomous Government bodies and entities increased from 16 in 2013-2014 to 18 in 2014-2015.
Additionally, there is one senior level position – that of BPS-19 to 21 – in each of these autonomous bodies. So the
number of senior level positions was also 16 in 2013-2014 and increased to 18 in 2014-2015. The authorities
themselves make appointments for these officers.
There were also no officers in senior level positions in an “acting” capacity in either 2013-2014 or 2014-2015. However,
it should be noted that, according to representatives of the Government of Balochistan, an officer of BPS-19 to 21 may
still be transferred to another post without completing a set amount of tenured time at any given autonomous body or
authority.
The total number of vacancies advertised by the BPSC in 2013 was 1,442, which increased by 50.62% to 2,172
advertised vacancies in 2014. Of these positions, 1,262 vacancies (i.e. 87.52% of total advertised) remained unfilled in
2013, whereas in 2014 a total of 1,419 vacancies (i.e. 65.33% of total advertised) remained unfilled.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for Merit-Based Recruitments
185 186
and Procedures was 24% in 2013-2014. In 2014-2015, this figure fell by 6 percentage points to 18%, indicating a
negative public perception of the transparency, or lack thereof, in the Government's recruitment and promotions of
officers.
In its current form, the process of recruitments and promotions in Balochistan is highly dependent on the scrutiny of
individual Departments and the Provincial Selection Board.
Additionally, the Government of Balochistan was not able to provide data regarding total number of civil servant
recruitments or even the number of positions advertised by the Government as a whole. This is because the
Government does not have a consolidated database of the actual number of civil servants in all Departments.
PILDAT was not able to score the Government's performance based on data for key indicators. The Government's
policies regarding Merit-Based Recruitments and Promotions received a score of 63.1%.
Score Card
Clean, Efficient and Economic Public Procurements

This parameter examines the measures put in place by the Government to oversee the process of public procurements
by individual Departments and the level of compliance to procurement rules.

Institutionally, the framework for public procurements in Balochistan consists of the Balochistan Public Procurement
187
Regulatory Authority (B-PPRA), which was established by Act of the same name in 2009. The Authority regulates and
monitors the process of public procurements and the adherence of all Government Departments to the law to ensure
transparency.
In 2013-2014, the Balochistan Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (Amendment) Act, 2013 was passed. This
188
stipulated that a website be maintained for all procurement agencies to upload information about their activities. In
189
2014-2015, the Balochistan Public Procurement Rules, 2014 were notified, which detail the constitution of
procurement agencies, their functions and also makes it mandatory to upload evaluation reports of all awarded
contracts onto B-PPRA's website.
Key Initiatives
1. As per the Balochistan Public Procurement Rules, most procuring agencies have constituted procurement
committees. In 2014-2015, there were 405 procurement committees formed for all 32 Departments of the
190
Government of Balochistan.
2. Bidding documents for goods and services have also been prepared to facilitate procuring agencies and
bidders.
3. With the support of the Assessment and Strengthening Program – Rural Support Programmes Network (ASP-
RSPN), the B-PPRA developed and launched its website, which has an integrated management information
191
system (MIS). This helps provide the B-PPRA with a framework for monitoring and evaluating all
procurements, for maintaining checks and balances and for reducing violations. ASP-RSPN is a programme
192
funded by USAID.
193
4. Regular and easily accessible uploads of all official tenders on the B-PPRA website.
Since the B-PPRA began operations in March 2015, the data provided was only available for 2014-2015. As of year-end,
the B-PPRA had uploaded 100% of all its 2,040 tenders and evaluation reports onto the official website.

procurement activities fell from 36% in 2013-2014194 to 26% in 2014-2015.195 This indicates that the public's perception
of the Government's procurement activities worsened.
While the performance of the B-PPRA thus far is commendable, it should be noted that the Authority was not made
operational until March 2015, more than four years after the Balochistan Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Act
was passed in October 2009. Nevertheless, the B-PPRA's drive to be transparent and its active efforts to maintain
records mark an improvement in the Government's procurement activities. The Government's performance in Clean,
Efficient and Economic Public Procurements received an overall score of 60.4%.

This parameter assesses the Government's initiatives to automate procedural processes – such as computerisation of
arms and driving licenses and land records – to improve service delivery, administrative efficiency and internal
accountability within Government offices and Departments.

No new laws, institutions or rules were passed in 2014-2015 for improving the use of technology for better governance.
The Government of Balochistan's Science and Information Technology Department deals with automation of
Government processes for data management to increase transparency and to improve governance procedures.
Key Initiatives
While there were no projects or procedures during 2013-2014 that were transformed with the use of technology, in
2014-2015 a total of eight such initiatives were taken to improve Governance.
1. Installation of Biometric attendance system in Civil and Chief Minister (CM) Secretariat, with 3,300 registered
employees. The system's dashboard shows a daily attendance of 1,500 employees and also monitors their
punctuality.
2. A PSDP Dashboard has been designed and installed in the offices of CM, Chief Secretary and all the secretaries
to monitor the physical and financial progress of PSDP schemes.
3. High-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) installed in place of DSL Internet in all Secretariat blocks, with a 50%
cost saving. The connection is a 24/7 secured link with uninterrupted bandwidth.
4. A total of 11 sites across Balochistan have been uplinked through a video conferencing system whereby all
Divisional headquarters, including CM, Governor and Chief Secretary office, are linked on one platform, which
has reduced travel costs as officers no longer need to travel long distances as frequently as before.
196
5. Digitisation of Provincial laws, Acts and Ordinances for the Law and Parliamentary Affairs Department.
6. Establishment of a digital library for Supreme Court Bar in the premises of Balochistan High Court.
7. A complete Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) solution was established in the master plan of Civil Secretariat for
its security.
8. Fibre optic network installed in Civil and CM Secretariat through which all the services can run on high speed.
9. Digitisation of archives.
10. Establishment of Performance Management Cell (PMC), a sub-project of the World Banks' Governance
Support Project (GSP) at the Planning and Development Department's block in in Civil Secretariat, Quetta. The
project's primary purpose is to support and enhance the capacity of the Chief Minister's Secretariat and office
197
of the Chief Secretary.
11. Computerisation of local/domicile in Quetta District.
The total budget allocated for the increased use of technology for improved Governance was Rs. 280 million in 2013-
2014. This figure declined in 2014-2015, during which it stood at Rs. 148 million, or a decrease of 47.14%.

although this is currently in progress; there were also no Government hospitals with a disease surveillance system.
According to PILDAT's Public Opinion Poll on Quality of Governance, the Approval Rating for the Government's Use of
198 199
Technology for Better Governance stood at 30% in 2013-2014. In 2014-2015, this figure increased to 33%,
indicating an improvement in the public's perception of the Government's efforts in using technology for better
governance.
The use of technology to enhance the quality of governance in Balochistan has benefitted from positive steps,
especially due to an increased utilisation of allocated funds. The steps taken have allowed the Government to be
demonstrably more transparent in all its procurements through the B-PPRA. The Government should now endeavour
to bring to fruition the computerisation of land records and arms licenses, which is currently in progress. The
Government's overall performance in the Use of Technology for Better Governance received a score of 58.8%.
