The Client
Formed in 1952, the Planning Commission of Pakistan is the government institution responsible for financial and public policy development.
Superseded by the Ministry of Planning Development and Reform, it aims to lead, design, and implement economic and development programs. It’s also responsible for strengthening partnerships with stakeholders such as public agencies and the private sector.
Further, the Planning Commission of Pakistan guides public entities on their planning and implementation capacities.
