of the Federal Task Force on Delegation of Powers to Project Authorities/ Implementing
Agencies (Annexure-XLIII):
"In accordance with NEC decision dated 4-7-1988, the Planning & Development Division should monitor
at least 300 projects and evaluate 50 completed projects every year for which additional resources should
be provided by the Ministry of Finance. The monitoring/evaluation reports should regularly be submitted
to the ECNEC".
iv) Quarterly Summaries to ECNEC:
Projects Wing should regularly send monitoring reports to the sponsoring/executing agencies for taking
remedial measures. A quarterly report should be submitted to the ECNEC on the monitoring/ evaluation
of projects.

independently of the costs given in the PC-I or tenders. Monitoring of costs for procurement of
machinery/equipment, building construction and other miscellaneous items should be carried out through
well-reputed consultants.

Projects Division and an Institute of Project Preparation and Management should be set up at the Federal
level. Provinces should establish Project Cells and make full use of the proposed Institute.
vii) Computerization of Monitoring and Evaluation:
