REVISED EDITION

This publication is an attempt, in consultation with the relevant Ministries/Divisions, to revise the booklet “A Functional and Legal Classification of Corporations, Autonomous Bodies and Attached Departments under the Federal Government” published by the NCGR in 2008. This revision was necessitated by the changes in the number, structure and position of attached organizations in the aftermath of 18th Constitutional amendment.

2.Organizational Entities (OEs) under the Federal Government have grown from 411 in 2008 to 438 in 2016. Out of 438 OEs, 29% belong to the categories of commercial/semi-commercial/ manufacturing; public utilities, service providers and financial institutions. 10% are attached departments or executing agencies, 9% are training Institutions. The remaining 52% entities are scattered over 16 different functional categories.

3.The Commission would welcome any suggestions for further improvement of this document.

INTRODUCTION

The National Commission for Government Reforms (NCGR) has been established to review the size and structure of the government with the objective of providing a modern, efficient and accountable system of governance.

2.The Federal Government has at present 411 Organizational Entities (OEs) attached departments, autonomous bodies, registered companies, statutory corporations etc. under the control of its various Ministries/Divisions. NCGR has undertaken an exercise to determine the legal instruments under which various Departments/ Organizations of different Ministries/ Divisions were set up.

3.In April, 2007 all 48 Divisions of the Federal Government were requested to provide the requisite information. The information was received and compiled by August, 2007.

4.This publication is an attempt, in consultation with the relevant Administrative Ministries/ Divisions, to provide a comprehensive listing and classification of all the organization entities under the control of the Federal Government by the nature of their functions and legal status. Out of 411 OEs the majority i.e. 26% belong to the categories of commercial/ semi-commercial/ manufacturing; public utilities and service providers and financial institutions. 14% are attached departments or executing agencies, 9% are training institutions. The remaining 50% entities are scattered over 12 functional categories.

5.The main consideration behind the proposed categorization is to bring clarity regarding role and functions of these OEs so that these can help the executive branch of the Government in discharge of its responsibilities. The final outcome is presented in the form of this booklet which may serve as ready reference for the Ministries, Divisions, Provincial Governments, research institutions, media and the donor community.

5.Although great care has been exercised to ensure veracity of the information provided, the possibility of errors/ omissions remains. The Commission would welcome any errors/ omissions/ shortcomings being pointed out which would lead to further improve this document.
