Musharaf's District System in Pakistan

The district system in Pakistan was introduced by former President Pervez Musharraf in August 2000 as part of his local government reforms. This system was designed to give more power to local communities and increase the effectiveness of the government’s policy implementation. The district system was introduced to replace the previous tehsil (administrative division) system and was considered a major change in the local governance structure of Pakistan..


Under the district system, the country was divided into 107 districts, each with its own government and administration. The head of each district was called the District Coordination Officer (DCO), who was responsible for the overall administration and coordination of the district. The DCO was assisted by a team of officials and bureaucrats who were responsible for the implementation of government policies and program


One of the key features of the district system was the establishment of the District Council, which was responsible for the overall governance of the district. The District Council consisted of elected members from the local communities, who were selected through direct elections. The District Council had the power to make decisions on various issues such as the allocation of funds, development of infrastructure, and implementation of social program.


Another important aspect of the district system was the creation of the Local Councils, which were responsible for the governance of smaller geographical areas within the district. The Local Councils were composed of elected members from the local communities and were responsible for addressing the needs and concerns of their constituents. The Local Councils also had the power to make decisions on various issues, such as the allocation of funds, development of infrastructure, and implementation of social program


The district system also aimed to improve the delivery of basic services such as health, education, and water supply to the local communities. The district administration was responsible for the implementation of these services, and the Local Councils were responsible for monitoring their delivery. This was a major change from the previous system, where these services were often provided by the central government, with little accountabilit


The district system also aimed to increase the participation of local communities in the decision-making process. Through the Local Councils and the District Council, the local communities were given a voice in the governance of their communities. This was seen as a way to increase transparency and accountability, and to reduce corruption in the local governance syste


In conclusion, the district system introduced by Pervez Musharraf was a major change in the local governance structure of Pakistan. It aimed to give more power to local communities and increase the effectiveness of the government’s policy implementation. The system was designed to improve the delivery of basic services, increase participation of local communities in the decision-making process, and reduce corruption in the local governance system. Although the district system faced challenges and criticism, it remains a significant part of the local governance structure in Pakistan.
