Government Organization Quetta

Conclusion and major Development Issues

• If Local Government institutions are strengthened, they can play a significant role in the socio-political and economic development. They promote development process at grass-root level, as they are training grounds and nurseries for democracy
• Public administration has been reformed by separating Judiciary from the Executive which is expected to bring about positive results in the overall situation.
• Revenue is mostly collected by Federal and Provincial Governments, while a handsome amount is collected by the Municipal Corporation.
• Religion and tribal affiliations are playing a crucial role in the politics of the district.
• The role of women in political parties needs to be addressed
• Quetta Municipal Corporation is not performing its tasks effectively. There are a host of reasons; among others, the Corporation is understaffed in relation to the serving areas and population
• Frequent transfers of Heads of Department has adversely affected the management of the district and the effective implementation of development schemes
• Efficiency of Local Government is very poor because decision making is highly centralized. Further, financial constraint hampers their activities. Therefore, the need arises to build institutional capacity in terms of financial, technical and human resources
• The concept of non-government organisation is not well defined. It has to be inculcated among the people through conscious efforts
• The role of NGOs in gender issues is however significant. But co-ordination among themselves need to be improved
• NGOs are poorly developed, limited institutional capacity inhibit their capacity to co-operate effectively with donors
