According to sources, the plan focuses on improving law and order, strengthening the administrative structure, enhancing public services and promoting economic stability across the province, including its merged districts.
The proposed measures include road repairs, improved hospital facilities, the provision of essential medicines, new school furniture, better-equipped health centres, interest-free loans for young people and vocational training programmes.
Under the plan, authorities have proposed repairing approximately 1,150 key roads, installing covers on 8,000 open manholes, improving sanitation at 4,000 locations, clearing around 150 blocked drainage channels and restoring 80 parks.
Other urban development initiatives include beautifying markets and public buildings across districts, installing solar-powered streetlights along major roads, improving traffic flow at 20 of Peshawar’s busiest intersections, and upgrading incomplete sections of the Ring Road and the Grand Trunk Road. Improvements to the Bannu bypass and the restoration of inactive water supply schemes are also proposed.
In the health sector, the plan calls for round-the-clock services at 250 health centres, the availability of at least 80 per cent of essential medicines, expanded immunisation services at primary healthcare facilities and digital monitoring of attendance by doctors, nurses, support staff and other employees. Selected districts would also receive improvements to sports grounds and basic healthcare services.
The education component proposes upgrading 1,500 schools, addressing furniture shortages affecting approximately 700,000 students, reopening damaged or non-functional schools in the merged districts and considering the transfer of underperforming schools to the private sector.
The plan also proposes expanding Rescue 1122 services in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
For young people, the proposed initiatives include interest-free loans, vocational and employment-oriented skills training, youth centres in government buildings, sports competitions, and support for entrepreneurship and research projects at universities.
In the energy sector, subsidised financial assistance would be provided to approximately 65,000 households, particularly widows and disadvantaged communities, to install domestic solar power systems.
Measures proposed for the mining and minerals sector include medical examinations for miners, technical training, digital mining records and the establishment of centres to respond to mining accidents in Kohat, Abbottabad and Buner.
Officials and representatives associated with the planning process have reportedly held meetings to discuss reforms and development initiatives across various departments.
Several names have been proposed for the initiative, including the Mustahkam Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Action Plan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 180-Day Strategic Action Plan.
The proposed measures are intended to improve administrative performance, strengthen public service delivery and support development across the province. Their implementation will determine the extent to which the plan’s objectives are achieved.
