Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Initiates ADP Scheme to Enhance Sports Policy Implementation

 

Peshawar:In a bid to resolve the issues of coordination and collaboration among different sports stakeholders, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Department has initiated a major scheme to enhance the implementation of the provincial Sports Policy. The project, "Implementation of Sports Policy" (ADP No. 1584/220619, 2024-25), has been initiated at the Secretariat level with a budget of Rs. 48.10 million.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Policy stresses close coordination between different stakeholders involved in the promotion of sports in the province. The major stakeholders are:

Pakistan Sports Board (PSB)

Pakistan Olympic Association (POA)

National Sports Federations (NSF)

Provincial Directorate General of Sports

Provincial Associations

Educational Institutions

Housing, Local Government, Social Welfare, Industry Departments

They altogether serve as the main sports administrative bodies at national, provincial, and regional levels. Nevertheless, the primary shortcoming noted to date has been the failure in coordination and liaising among such bodies, meaning that there existed disjointed approaches and uninspiring sports development across the province.

Realizing the necessity of filling this gap, the Sports Department has introduced the ADP scheme to increase cooperation and coordination among the stakeholders. The major aim is to simplify communication and joint planning in order to enhance the effectiveness of sports promotion and infrastructure development.

The effective operation of the scheme is likely to bring about the desired outcomes as stipulated in the Sports Policy. The scheme seeks to:

Urging coordination among the participants in sports events.

Encourage optimum use of resources for developing sports.

Comprehensive provincial sports setup by putting all major stakeholders on board.

The Sports Department Khyber Pakhtunkhwa feels that this venture will open doors for a coordinated and systematic move for promoting sports in a way that the aims of the Sports Policy are fulfilled both in letter and spirit.

Regional sports officials and experts have also appreciated the move, hoping that this holistic strategy will usher in a change for the better in the provincial sports scene. They are of the view that enhanced coordination between departments and associations will ultimately result in greater opportunities for players and streamlined sports administration.
