In Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, frontline managers in schools and clinics were often left powerless by rigid budgeting practices, funding delays, and untracked asset, leaving service delivery compromised. With the Government of KP and World Bank, the KP SPEED project helped change that story KP SPEED is the first project in Pakistan to adopt World Bank’s GovEnable framework, demonstrating that sustainable reforms are possible when systems are locally driven and owned. Our work to build robust, efficient financial systems is already delivering tangible results. The project’s impacts in education and healthcare delivery at the frontline include: • 201% increase in non-wage budgets for schools through new budget norms • Fairer distribution of health funds though linkage to patient loads • Empowered schools and clinics, through the removal of funding bottlenecks • Reduced transaction costs and greater efficiency though simplified and digitised budget systems • Greater local decision-making through the introduction of facility-level budgeting policies • Enhanced tracking and maintenance of public assets though a fixed asset management policy
