(Consultancy Assignment)

Position: Consultant

Project Title: Citizens’ Oversight of Federalism in Context of 18^th Amendment (KPK)

CPDI Program Area: Rule of Law

Status :CLOSED

1. Background

CPDI has been awarded a 15-months project titled, “Citizens’ Oversight of Federalism in Context of 18^th Amendment (KPK)” under USAID Citizen Voice Project. The project activities will be implemented in 3 districts of KPK; namely Peshawar, Mardan, and Abbottabad.

The 18^th constitutional amendment has significantly changed the nature of relationship between the Federal government and the provinces in Pakistan. It included 102 amendments, whereby various provisions of the 1973 constitution were amended, substituted, added to, or deleted. It has transferred a large number of powers, responsibilities and institutions to the provinces, and hence has empowered them to be able to efficiently respond to public needs, demands and aspirations at the provincial levels without needing approvals or concurrence from the Federal government. The reforms through the 18^th amendment were widely agreed by political parties and appreciated by civil society, especially in the smaller provinces of the country.

In Pakistan, however, the biggest challenges usually relate to implementation of laws, policies or constitutional provisions. The implementation capacities are generally weak, whereas vested interests or players with interests in status quo also seek to obstruct or delay implementation of specific reforms. In relation to the 18^th amendment, it is generally believed that bureaucracy at the Federal level is not willing to loose control and, therefore, has been offering resistance, which has slowed down the implementation process. Certain segments of political class also find it difficult to adjust with the new reality marked by a leaner Federal government and stronger provinces. On the other hand, provincial governments do not have the requisite technical capacities to quickly absorb the new powers, responsibilities and institutions within the existing scope of provincial jurisdiction.

2. Objectives

The consultant will perform following duties during his contract with CPDI:

The consultant will develop appropriate oversight tools and methodology for education, health and food and agriculture sector in KPK.

(Contract Based Project Position)

Position: Research Assistant

Project Title: Our Money, Our Responsibility

CPDI Program Area: Budget Watch

STATUS:CLOSED

1. Background

CPDI has been awarded a Two-year project titled, “Our Money, Our Responsibilities” under DFID ILM Ideas Project. The project activities will be implemented in 2 districts of Punjab; namely Jhang and Toba Tek Singh.

In Punjab, budget allocations for education sector have been and continue to be extremely low due to multiple factors including weak civil society demand, lack of available resources, limited capacity to utilize even the allocated budgets and non-recognition of education as a priority by the policy makers. Given the low budget allocations, the government has not been able to provide adequate number of schools at various levels. Even the schools that have been established suffer from non-availability of adequate number of teachers, lack of basic facilities like washrooms and teaching materials, and weak accountability mechanisms[1]. As a result, the performance of public sector education system remains weak and far below the public expectations as well as regional and international standards. This situation compels parents, who can afford, to send their children to private schools, which offer education of varying quality and are generally expensive. Worst affected by this situation are the poor segments of population, who do not have effective voice in the education sector governance; nor do they afford to send their children to private schools. It is significant to mention here that the meagre funds that were allocated to education were littered with problems like secrecy, nepotism, favouritism and corruption. While a consistent and concerted effort is required to pursue government to increase education sector allocations, a much needed step should be to analyse the use of allocated funds and to determine whether these funds and services are reaching to end users as the government documents show.

CPDI will introduce new instrument called Public Expenditure Tracking Survey (PETS) which help to generate such kind of data determining efficiency of human resources and absenteeism, leakage of resources, corruption and implementation status of Article 25-A of the constitution.
