Title Participatory Development and the Stakeholders Perceptions: A Case Study of Islamabad

Author(s) Javed Tariq

Abstract There is a dire need for Pakistan and its people to bring about positive change in their life style. Population burst over a period of just few decades have adversely affected the living standards of the common people both in urban and rural areas . Basic education remained neglected and so was the case with the democratic institutions which failed to promote their future plans in the field of development sector. Many outside organizations worked hard to introduce programs in various sectors of development but it was unfortunate to identify their agenda different from what we were expecting. Thus Development programs came under government umbrella. Development programs are directly related with the government priorities and their preferences. Our per capita is low and about 67% of the population is living below poverty line which requires due attention at all levels. Government alone may not be in a position to manage effectively. Therefore, all programs may require intense citizen involvement which is being adopted the world over. Participatory development is now regarded as part of development agenda. This research is carried out to explore the rising challenges in program management by the sponsors of the development programs. As participatory approaches have become essential part of any program , it was therefore felt necessary to explore its presence in virtual function choosing Islamabad as case study .The findings were surprisingly well below the expectations. It was not only true in case of elected members but government itself was not interested to practice in true letter and spirit. Hopefully, new researchers in the field of Governance and Public Policy will try and further investigate and this research may help them not to start from a scratch.
