Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, Tuesday said that his
government is keen to establish a Performance Delivery Unit (PDU) to ensure
implementation of government’s policies, initially in four key areas of
governance including Energy, Infrastructure, Employment Generation and Housing.
The Prime Minister said this while meeting Sir Michael
Barber, UK Special Envoy who called on the Prime Minister at PM’s House.
The Prime Minister highlighted that an effective mechanism
based on the best practices of the developed countries like the U.K, Malaysia
and some others on key areas of governance, delivery and efficiency have
produced excellent results.
He added that Pakistan wants to replicate the same which
would help in ensuring implementation on government’s policy decisions, a

The Prime Minister said that the unit would keep a track
record on the development made, and other areas and sectors of the government
would also be incorporated later.

education for all and highly appreciates the UK support for education in
Pakistan. He added that this constructive engagement on education will lay the
foundations for a better future for our people.
