The KP government is making concerted efforts to improve governance, to expedite public service delivery and establish a strict monitoring and accountablity mechanism for the provicnial deparments to enhance their performance and curb menace of corruption in government departments including Police, Revenue, Health and Education sectors, local administration and works department.

Historically, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province always took a lead among the all federating units in the field of public service delivery, the rule of the law and social welbeing of the masses througouth the past. Whilst, the incubment provincial government maintained this tradition in acheiving another milestone by launching Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Digital Dashboard that will bring a revolution in the province if implemented in true letter and spirit. Unfortunatley, the things get worst and face unproductiveness after change of political government or senior hierarchy that lost national resources, futile efforts and hardwork of the leaders. Therefore, the provincial government must set up such a mechanism that ensures continuation of political oversight and involvement of the top level bureaucracy to keep this mechansim efficient, viable and productive throughout in the long run.
