ABSTRACT: The country fully entered
into the Federal Structure of political governance through implementation of
the Federal Constitution. The planning process also would have to redefine and
readjust according to change in the country to keep the development spirit by
setting national goals and objectives down to the lower tiers of the
government. Therefore, it is pertinent to define the clear role and
responsibilities of all stakeholders involved in the planning process of the
country. This study has tried to address those issues by explaining frictional
role, planning process and relationship among all planning units at each tier
of government. National Planning Commission (NPC) has to interpret the goal
into policy and program and send it to Provincial Government for further
analysis and process as per the requirement of such Government. The Local
Levels prepare their own plans and policies in line with the directives
received from the NPC and send them both to the
provincial planning entities and the NPC. A
two-way algorithm of planning process both top-down and bottom-up will
be in practice and they will be adjusted when necessary basis.
