Review of Annual Development Program 2019-20
In FY 2019-20, the Government was focused on promoting 'Sustainable Development' which emphasized increased efficiency in planning and
implementation of its multiple interventions. The Government emphasized the development of the Province's Education, Health and Water
Supply sectors to improve social outcomes. Other priority areas included the Agriculture and Irrigation sectors, and the development of Punjab's
industrial competitiveness for which the Government devised an Industrial Policy to identify the future course of action.
The budget for the Annual Development Programme 2019-20 was set at PKR 350 billion. Considering the Government's focus on developing
Human Capital, it allocated PKR 89.8 billion for the Education Sector inclusive of School, Higher, and Special Education etc. Similarly, the
Government increased allocation to the Irrigation, Water Supply and Sanitation sectors to PKR 23.4 and PKR 22.4 billion respectively. To
address environmental changes, the Government allocated PKR 1.0 billion to promote Conservation and Environmental Governance. For the
Health Sector, the Government allocated PKR 22 Billion and 23.5 billion for Specialized Healthcare and Medical Education and Primary and
Secondary Healthcare respectively. The Figure 1 depicts the Annual Development Programme budgets over the last six years along with its
revision and utilization over the past 6 years. Previous years have seen a steady increase in the Development portfolio. However, the 2018-
19 ADP budget saw a sharp decline in allocation owing to the present Government's decision to address the high Fiscal Deficit as previous
Expenditure levels were proven to be unsustainable.
