District Accounts and Development Funds

District Accounts

An attempt has been made to collect information on the income and expenditures at district level in Pishin district. These efforts did not lead to information that could be used as a basis of firm and detailed conclusions about the income- and expenditure pattern of the government in the district. However, two more general conclusions can be drawn:

the expenditures in the district exceed the government income generated in the district; which means that the district is dependent on transfers from the provincial government to run its affairs;

very little of the developmental activities is financed by resources mobilized in the district, which invariably means that much of the decision making process on district development takes place outside the district.

Development Funds.

A large part of the funds for development schemes in the district come from the provincial Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).

The revised PSDP allocation for the financial year 1995-96 was Rs. 64.595 million for 14 schemes. There were no foreign assistance involved. The revised allocation for 1996-97 decreased to Rs. 31.269 million, including a foreign component of Rs. 18 million. In the current year, 1997-98, 25 schemes are either ongoing or planned in the district. The total allocation for the year is Rs. 93.575 million. The projects are in the following sectors: livestock, forestry, housing, roads, irrigation, environment, education, water supply and health. With 65% and 12% respectively, the roads sector and the irrigation sector have by far the largest share in the programme.
