PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has taken a major step towards digitisation by introducing the Public Works Management Information System (PWMIS).
Developed by the Communication and Works (C&W) Department, the system aims to enhance efficiency, transparency, and financial management in development projects across the province, said a handout.
The initiative was formally introduced at a meeting on Monday, with Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur in the chair. The meeting was attended by KP Chief Secretary Shahab Ali Shah, administrative secretaries of various departments, and other senior officials. Officials from the C&W Department provided a comprehensive briefing on the new system and its functionalities.
According to the briefing, PWMIS would digitalize all processes related to development projects, allowing seamless online handling and real-time monitoring. Dedicated dashboards will be set up at the Chief Minister’s Office, provincial departments, and the Accountant General’s Office to oversee project implementation. The system is designed to ensure strict compliance with approved PC-1s, optimize fund utilization, and enhance transparency by minimizing human intervention.
Speaking at the meeting, the chief minister lauded the initiative, emphasizing the provincial government’s commitment to combating corruption and enhancing governance through digitization. He stated that the launch of PWMIS is a significant milestone in the province’s broader digital transformation strategy. The government plans to expand the system to all work-related departments in the near future.
