Secretarial Support of the PSDPCC
A Policy Coordination Unit (PCU) was established on 13 September 2011 at the PMO, comprising essential officials of the PMO, Director General-1 and Director-1, to provide support services to PSDPCC. BUILD has been providing all secretarial services and working very closely with PMO. It is recognised as the primary source of information and a strategic partner of the PSDPCC, established at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in 2011. In addition, the Prime Minister’s Office published a gazette on 1 January 2020 (03.068.022.2015/onsho.3/13) and engaged BUILD as the Secretariat for research to the PSDPCC.
Role of PCC in Reform Architecture
pBUILD is a vehicle to convey research-backed inputs and policy suggestions from the private sector as a government’s strategic partner. BUILD acts under planned reform architecture. Through this reform architecture, the WCs under BUILD, with support from the BUILD Secretariat, act as the core partners and Secretariat of the PSDPCC, where complex inter-ministerial issues are raised and resolved alongside recommendations proposed by BUILD. So far, 50 policy papers have been presented in the last 14 full PSDPCC meetings, one review meeting has been held, and around 135 reform recommendations have been implemented.
PSDPCC Meetings of BUILD
The PSDPCC continues to facilitate the ongoing submission and discussion of reform policy papers, with numerous recommendations already approved and implementation efforts currently underway as part of its sustained commitment to driving progressive change.
