| Pakistanis unhappy with govt's performance: Report | | | ISLAMABAD, FEB 12
A Pakistani report has brought out widespread dissatisfaction with the government's performance particularly in the social sector, forcing the authorities to withhold its full findings.
The Annual Progress Report for 2005-06 released last week by the Finance Ministry, as part of its poverty reduction strategy, suggests that more than 64 per cent of the people were unhappy with the standard of basic health services in the country.
The report also revealed depressing figures relating to the participation of women in local council meetings and their access to development funds, the Dawn daily quoted officials as saying on condition of anonymity.
In the education sector, 34 per cent of those living in the urban areas and 55 per cent people in the rural areas were dissatisfied with the services, the survey report said.
The full findings of the report, which contained public perception about family planning, veterinary hospitals, agriculture and police, were withheld as it presented widespread dissatisfaction with the governance in the country, the daily said.
The survey did not cover Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, (POK) and Fata and Fana areas. It is based on scientifically prepared questionnaires approved by the government in consultation with international institutions and covering about 77,000 households in both rural and urban areas.
The data suggest that about 70 percent people in Punjab are dissatisfied with the basic health facilities. In Sindh, more than 63 per cent and 45 per cent people were disappointed with health and schooling facilities respectively. |
