Planning and Development (P&D) Department, Government of Balochistan, is a premier planning body in the province. It formulates all development, and planning policy matters, and plans to execute the policy. Provincial Five Years Plans (FYP) contain development policy while annual Public Sector Development Programmes (PSDPs) are planned to implement FYP policies concerning social, infrastructure, and productive sectors. Small and medium-range projects are accommodated in PSDP.
The P&D department has various studies and surveys conducted for use in planning. District profiles, Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, and very recently a Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) are some instances of efforts for better planning.
