Does Pakistan Need Smaller Provinces?
Pakistan is a federation of more than 240 million people, currently organised into four provinces with vastly different geographies, populations, resources and development challenges. As these provinces grow and administrative demands become increasingly complex, questions about the country’s federal and provincial structure continue to surface.
Does the existing provincial structure allow governments to serve their populations effectively? Could smaller provinces bring government closer to citizens, improve administrative efficiency, strengthen representation and make development more responsive to local needs? Or could creating more provinces introduce new challenges without necessarily solving existing ones?
Drawing on his experience and perspective of Raza Hasan from the United States, this session will examine the idea of smaller provinces in Pakistan and the arguments surrounding administrative decentralisation, governance, representation, resource distribution and regional development.
