"The report presents a concise review of the KP Government’s Strategic Development Partnership Framework (SDPF)  and Integrated Development Strategy (IDS) 2014-18 drawing key lessons for improved development coordination and achievement of prospective sustainable development targets in the province."

The Strategic Development Partnership Framework (SDPF) was developed by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) for streamlining and improving the government-development partner interface for enhanced impact and effectiveness of development assistance.

It was in this context that development of SDPF was followed by finalization of two additional strategic documents: Integrated Development Strategy (IDS) and Economic Growth Strategy (EGS). The former aimed to align resource allocation in development budget for target-oriented and quantifiable progress across all sectors of governance.

The latter, on the other hand, was specifically geared towards defining and facilitating fast track progress in high growth and economic value sectors across the province. As the SDFP/IDS period has ended a review of the framework and strategy is needed. This will include a review of progress against SDPF/ IDS performance indicators and evaluate effectiveness of the implementation mechanism.
