This situation needs to be rectified. Institutional coordination for development planning at the provincial level is well established, and efforts for further improvement continue. Such coordination at the district local level is still weak. The Deputy Commissioners, who have a mandate for such coordination, do not have adequate resources. A system of District Development Advisory Committees (DDAC) was created a few years ago; it considers only the identification of schemes, however, and works mainly with the line departments, with little public input. (See Box 16.5). Social Action Programme priorities are determined by the Social Action Boards constituted by the Federal Government, and tension often prevails between these groups and the DDACs. Local council elections have not been held for a few years now, and the councils are currently managed by appointed administrators. This weakens any sense of local responsibility for programmes and has implications for their efficient implementation and sustainability. The existing mechanisms benefit very little from input at the grassroots level. Implementation of public programmes, including the SPCS, runs a serious risk of neglecting true public needs. Except for the Business-Industry Round Table set up by IUCN a few years ago following approval of the NCS, there is no mechanism for effective coordination with the private sector. Even this Round Table has been largely dormant. The NWFP EPA has been interacting with different industries, but there is a need to institutionalize and increase the interaction.
