Strengthening of NACTA

Background:

NACTA was established in 2008 and later formally created through Act of Parliament in 2013. Initially it was housed in a private accommodation in F-8, Islamabad and was later shifted to “R” and “S” Blocks, Pak Secretariat. In line with the profile and sensitivity of work, a BS-22 officer was appointed as National Coordinator instead of BS-20. NACTA did not come into a special focus until its strengthening was included as a formal agenda item of National Action Plan, 2014.

Human Resource:
