Analysis, District Level, Federally Administered Tribal Areas, KPK, reformed system, financial autonomyAbstract
The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is situated in the North-West of Pakistan with an estimated population of more than thirty five and a half million after merger with the former “Federally Administered Tribal Areas” in 2018.1 In the recent past, districts of KPK underwent some major administrative reforms in 2001.2 Most remarkably, the more than one and a half century old system of district administration was revamped by abolition of the post of District Deputy Commissioner, which used to exercise its power and control over the provincial departments and their officers in the districts. In the reformed system, the district governments were empowered with administrative and financial autonomy over the devolved subjects.
